Welcome to my channel, which focuses primarily on train travel - not only do I find it to contain interesting history and great scenery, but it's also a good way to unwind and relax.
Here you'll find trip reports, journeys and comparisons of trains from all over the world - videos are released weekly at 5pm UK time, so hit subscribe and enable notifications so you don't miss any of my adventures by rail!
If you would like to support the channel, I am not on Patreon but please do find my Ko-Fi link below; all donations will be used solely for the purpose of creating new videos (new gear etc.) and are greatly appreciated.

Thanks for viewing my channel and I hope you enjoy the ride!

A bit of an update...
A combination of work and a family emergency has of course resulted in little time for the channel the past two weeks. Thankfully both are calming down now and I'm aiming to be back with a video Wednesday at 5pm BST, with a potential bonus video on Friday ahead of setting off on my next trip. Hopefully see you all then!

Tomorrow* on the channel is a trip on VIA Rail's "The Ocean" sleeper train, travelling for almost 24 hours from Halifax (Nova Scotia) to Montreal. This trip has been on my bucket list for years as it uses the ex-Nightstar coaches originally intended for overnight services through the Channel Tunnel, so join me at 5pm BST tomorrow to see how these carriages hold up on Canadian rails!

Up today is a look at the newest train in Switzerland, the RABe 512 Stadler KISS on a ride from Basel to Zurich. Despite being built for regional and interregio routes, I was honestly very impressed by the quality of the interior... join me at 5pm BST as we check it out in detail!

In today's video, we'll be taking a look at CrossCountry's newly refurbished Voyagers on a journey from Bristol to Manchester. Whilst there have been improvements, it definitely falls flat in some areas and it certainly can't hide the usual capacity issues...
