A belated Eid Mubarak to all of my viewers celebrating, hope you had a blessed one!
Fasting combined with my main job and my trip to Italy over the weekend has resulted in channel work being put on the backburner as of late, but I should be back Wednesday at the usual time then the usual Mondays from next week onwards. See you then!

Well it definitely took a lot longer than expected, but my full review of the inaugural WESTBahn run from Villach to Vienna via the newly-opened Koralmbahn will be out this evening at 5pm GMT. See you then as we check out the operator's new Stadler SMILE units, undoubtedly one of the country's best high speed trains!

Hi everyone, a quick heads up to say this week’s video is being deferred to tomorrow (or Wednesday, the edit's taking a bit longer than anticipated) - over the weekend I was in Austria to check out the newly-opened Koralmbahn high speed line so it’s been pretty hectic on my end. See you then!

In today's video we'll be looking at Chiltern Railways' latest fleet addition, the infamous Mk5 sets which were withdrawn by TransPennine Express at the end of 2023.

Today we'll be looking at Canada for the first time on the channel, as I take one of VIA Rail's new Siemens Venture sets from Montreal to Toronto in Business Class. I heard a lot of good things about these coaches and I can honestly say the hype about them is deserved. Join me at 5pm GMT to see why!
