Have used Qatar airways quite a few times, and always had good service, with very helpful and friendly staff. I worked and lived in Qatar before all the development at the beginning of 1980.

Shame it all went wrong at the end.

Your diet ! Too much sugar ? 😂

Machines were always "she" to me.

Was on the Oscar Wild on many trips from Rosslare to Cherbourg and always loved it. Recently went again to Cherbourg on a different ship but was not as nice as the Oscar Wild

Great video, always enjoy watching... Was that a Premier Inn by any chance??

Fantastic video this. Really enjoyed it. Felt very nostalgic as this is a trip I made many a time back in the day aboard B&I Line's MV Leinster, and later aboard SeaLink's high speed service. How things have changed! Thanks for sharing, please keep up the great work!

As a regular Coastliner customer between Tadcaster and York its nice to see the Coastliner getting a good airing . Its a fantastic fantastic service around the Yorkshire area. Just by way of a little bit of extra info they tell me that the drivers will drop you off anywhere and pick you up anywhere i.e. not necessarily at a bus stop if you do like walking but please enquire first

You should do that journey again, Irish rail, have the dirtiest carriages. With toilets, you wouldn't want to really use them at any time. the table tops are filthy. Whoever is contracted to clean these carriages should be fired. But then it is obvious nobody oversees the work .. and so the diabolical work continues

a lot of vibration in center carriages when these i c r train sets reach line side speed,could be a wheel profiling issue ?

Your videos are amazing

Beautiful place, Mark and what a view ftom the top! 😍

2 years ago, 2022, we were really still under Covid regulations, and it impacted on everything. I'm not sure if the full catering has even returned yet, but it was certainly all off back then, as was 'excessive' over staffing, etc. It's still not an amazing train or anything, but it is usually better than the experience tou seem to have had.

The Barry family have lots of history in Ireland, and one of their things was (is) tea. Ireland and the UK had a falling out over tea, well over 150 years ago, even when we were part of the empire. Ireland went its own way, so we had our own tea routes, etc, which is why many people say Irish tea is better. Less watery anyway. The Barrys became big importers. It's actually associated with Cork, whule Lyons Tea (another family) is conected with Dublin, but, Barry's is generally known to be the better of the two.

I remember in the 70`s there was a bar on the main deck. It must have been the Scillonian II. I was only a lad but remember seeing people drinking and merriment in the bar but up one deck people hanging over the side looking green in the rough sea`s. One of them my big Sister.

I vaguely remember being on a hovercraft on a family holiday, some company called Sally Line, I'm struggling to recall the from and to but I think it was Ramsgate/Dunkirk but was many moons ago as a kid. I might be mixing my travels up there and Sally Line was a conventional car ferry, can't be sure was so long ago. Perhaps it was HoverLloyd but i do recall it being fabulous fun and I grinned like a Cheshire Cat the whole time, rather like yourself in that vid Mark 😄 loved it 👍

Which speedometer app do you use?

We love city break holidays visiting German cities including Hannover - so interesting

I remember when we were coming to Leicester from Paris in coach in 2004 and waiting to change at Canterbury station at 4/5 am in the cold outside for a German bus to pick up lol😅 those were the time when money was tight and nee to UK unforgettable experience who has pro and cons but the beauty of travel I think it took the same time also not too sure

Stunning!

Always a nightmare on irish trains

They nearly always use the two tug boats to nudge the Irish ferries ship into port as I think it’s a very tight turn for such a big ship.

Another great video, Mark. Just one note: Christmas in Bulgaria is not on December 25th, but 13 days later (Eastern Orthodox calendar}, which will possibly explain why it wasn't heaving, like in Shrewsbury, on that day... 😊

I prefer the cheaper CAT 20 minute or so from Portsmouth Harbour. This connects conveniently with trains on the mainland to London, Cardiff, Brighton, Salisbury and involves no bus link. Trains at Ryde Pier also connect with the CAT service operated by Wightlink. Rough weather affects the Hovercraft much more regularly than the CAT or car ferry service which also takes foot passengers though with poorer on Island connections.

Luxury... I remember travelling from the north wall to Liverpool in the 60s and looking down on cattle to be unloaded at holyhead..3rd class ticket.. thanks for the video, it brought back memories..

I love Hannover! My family are from here and I was only here less than a week ago. Such a great experience going on the curved dome lift.

Great video as usual Mark, like a previous comment, great to have the place to yourself ! :)

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

What a fabulous building and what an elevator. I absolutely loved this.

How cool. Not just the elevator but the city and the whole of that town hall. Thanks for sharing it 👍

What a magnificent building! It reminded me a little of Belfast City Hall. So great to have it all to yourself. Loved the elevator and the curved staircase at the top. So cool.

Another great video Mark, nice one

Instructions in French? Did you not ask someone to interpretate?

When i first saw the modern buildings i thought the Allies had payed a visit.🙏

Nice looking town and a fascinating lift and got to experience without crowds of people. Thank you.

You were so lucky to have the place to yourself it's so nice to have a place to yourself and enjoy it more without other people getting in your way It is a very interesting and enjoyable video to watch thank you again Mark

Yes 20 odd year ago you would walk straight out to the train

Excellent video, Mark. Man builds, man destroys, man rebuilds, hopefully.... At least we get to see some of the original artistry.

Ah I'm going to Boston soon and the freedom trail is first on my list!

Hope you got a large refund

I disagree with the megabus name they no longer use buses, they use coaches

Like most people I have passed through Hanover on the train when travelling between Berlin and Amsterdam. I visited the Hartz Mountains on a school trip back,in 1993 and did travel on one of the steam railways you mentioned. Hanover looks a nice rebuilt city and certainly the view from the new town hall,looked great and for a low price. I always try and find a viewing point if the price is right when visiting any city, This week I went up relatively new 120 Fenchurch Street in London which gives fantastic views of the City and it’s free.

For the plaque at 3:50 - in short, they started building the church in 1347 on the site of an early romanesque chapel, the tower was built in 1717. (I guess they assume, everybody understands the bombing was related to WWII due to the date.) Since 1952 the ruins are a memorial for victims of war and violence. And for the elevator, Tom Scott concluded his video by: for a video about an elevator ride, that was a lot of steps. :D
