Marvellous video Very impressed. Well done to you. Beautiful views en route.
Thank you so much 😀
I did a similar trip in 2015. Plymouth to Lisbon and then on to Porto.. 1. Sleeper from Plymouth. 2. Eurostar to Paris. 3. Paris to Irun then crossed the platform and took the Train hotel to Lisbon. Left Plymouth at midnight and arrived in Lisbon 31 hrs later at 07.00. An excellant trip.
I always wanted to take the Tren Hotel :D Sadly it was discontinued before I ever arrived in Spain for the first time...
Just found your channel and absolutely love it. Really simple approach and you show the view out the window which is great. Thanks for sharing and I wish you all the success with it. Good luck and I will keep following you from the armchair.
Thanks and welcome
We did that trip in reverse due to health issues from faro taxi to ( Seville to Madrid to Barcelona to a lovely place figueres Spain then to Paris , euro tunnel and finally Sheffield all trains ) and the Spanish and French trains are very impressive
Sorry to hear that. Hopefully nothing too serious
Interesting video. It's CET, not ECT when the UK is on GMT. It becomes CEST when the UK is on BST. Portugal is sometimes classified as being on WET in the Winter and WEST in the Summer.
Oups. Yep, my bad there. I did write GMT eventually but while in UK I wanted to be specific.
Sorry you did not know about the train from Badajoz to Entroncamento in Portugal ...
I did. But either it wasn't running in Oct 2023 or it wasn't fitting the schedule well. I honestly don't remember. The trip was already planned well in advance, by June 2023 I think I already purchased all tickets.
they should make direct trains from paris or wien to all european capitals
And maybe Frankfurt as well. Agreed.
For more comfort consider an Interrail 1st class .... on Eurostar you can sit in Standard Premier and be served a meal and drinks in the price of the ticket....did you consider London - to Lille and changing in Lille to a TGV for the south of France thus skipping Paris...it can workout well...otherwise a fine video.
Yep. I considered it all. But I wanted a video out of Eurostar as well, I will release a full London to Paris video on Eurostar with more footage and more info soon, and I didn't want to miss out on that. It is definitely in my plan to use an Interrail First Class sometime in the future :) I do have to raise a bit more money.
Not sure about the dryer, but the water works by stepping on a button on the floor. Did you try that?
I actually didn't :D - Oh well...
36:46 Why did you take metro line 9 to get to Sants from the north station? I am just curious, I am from Barcelona and I usually get the line 5 (also the line 3) to go to sants, even the commuter train in the nearest station of north statin "arc de triomf" takes you to Sants directly
I went to visit a friend in Barcelona. :)
