I have actually travelled this route several times.

This is pretty cool.

Blimey, I owned a video cassette with the original journey on it. I used to rewind and play it back so much when I was little. I had forgotten all about it. I hadn't seen the the modern film the unit made either. Thanks. :D
Speaking of travelling the route, rode it when I was visiting a friend a few weeks ago. Bloody awful ex-Gatwick Express Class 442s. With regard to comfort, it was like riding in the old slam-door stock.

That was a very fun video to watch. I love trains and I like the side to side videos. It's fun to be able to do comparisons like this. Thank you for sharing the video. :)

You're welcome. I love trains too.

I have this book:
GB Rail Timetable

It shows every single map and timetable of every train in the whole of Great Britain. I love it!
