are you coming out of covid 19 rog edwards tv?
Feeling better but very tired, thank you.
Please don't say, "Forth Rail Bridge"! It is the "Forth Bridge"!
😀
is there a youtube video next saturday rog edwards tv?
Having Covid has knocked my schedule completely. Fingers crossed. 🤞
Elizabeth line isn’t tube 😭
😀
I'm really glad that these beautiful buildings weren't acquired by Britannia and turned into another worst hotels of the UK.
A few of the BTHs are Britannia. The Adephi in Liverpool and The Midland in Bradford (I think). 😊
@@RogEdwardsTV I feel so sad every time I walk pass the adelphi. What a magnificent architectural masterpiece ruined by incompetent and greedy company.
London hotel price is absurd, even Travelodge can cost you a fortune.
You're right. North of £200 for a Travelodge is lunacy. 😬
Good
get well soon rog edwards tv
Thank you.
Is it card only there?
Some of the stalls were card only, others took cash too. 😀
I'll bring cash and see who says no 😉

Skater almost wiped out turning behind you.

Another one that I've stayed at that was absolutely shocking, moldy garlic bread being the highlight. Admittedly though it was 20 years ago this time. It does look a lot better and its amazing value (and I recall it being cheap back in the day, which is probably why we chose it). I realise I giving the impression I need therapy for being traumatised by hotels!
"Taumatised by Hotels" sounds like a great title for a book or video series, Graeme! 😂
Nice Magnum sweatshirt. 🎸🤘🥃
Thanks. It’s the Tony Clarkin tribute shirt! ☺️
I have had the misfortune to travel backwards and forwards to London from Edinburgh in recent years. I found the LNER and Lumo standard class seats to be very uncomfortable and painful after a couple of hours of sitting. They are not suitable for long distances. As a result I now travel by First Class on LNER or fly. Regrettably flying into London City is often much cheaper than first class rail so I am forced to choose that most of the time. I don't know why first class is so expensive. You don't get there any sooner.
I find the Lumo seats much better (for me), perhaps it’s the fact they are more reclined and less bolt upright. I’ll always go First if I can, though. Thanks for watching. 😀
@@RogEdwardsTV Thanks for the very prompt reply Rog. I learnt from your video about the "secret" catering spreadsheets. i had always found the catering somewhat mysterious and so disappointing. Now, i have the missing information and can choose my first class travel to get decent food. That saves hanging about in the lounges at the stations and getting the basics there before I travel and have the usual disappointment. It is much more esoteric than is necessary. My next trip is next Thursday, now I can prepare in advance!! Thank you. And your video is great. I see Durham every time I pass and have always meant to visit. It looks a great place.
I love taking off from LCY🤣 like a roller coaster ride
Raw power! Thanks for watching. ☺️
O2 Academy is a concert venue. There is O2 academy venues all across the UK 🇬🇧
Thanks - it looks like a great place. 😀
@@RogEdwardsTV There is an O2 Academy in Edinburgh and Glasgow also.
Lived in Edinburgh for 30 years and I'm still learning everyday. 😀Cheers.
I've stayed at The Station Hotel twice in the last year. Once in a superior double which was on offer and then in an attic normal room which was lovely too. BUT the breakfast......I'm never keen on people fannying around at a buffet but the staff are chatty and friendly and don't leave you to it and the food quality is fabulous and freshly topped up regularly. ( I took the lift, didn't know that staircase was there either 🤣)
Thanks for watching. I'd definitely stay there again. Such a shame they hide that grand staircase away. 😂
@@RogEdwardsTV I stumbled over your vlog. it is very good. Aberdeen is AWFUL when the weather is shit though haha
😂
How about giving the stagecoach and Train from Ayr and Glasgow
Good idea. Thanks for watching.
Thank you for sharing. I wonder if anyone can help me with a little query. Im trying to identify an aircraft that i flew on back in 1988 (which i think was a BAC 1-11). I flew from Manchester to Ibiza and the carrier was Dan Air. We entered the plane from a set of folding stairs in the tail of the aircraft and i remember feeling the heat of the engines blowing into my face as i boarded. My seat was over the wing and the couple in front of me were facing me - that is, they were flying backwards. I think i was on the 1-11 but ive never seen the backward facing seat configuration since.
Dan Air’s BAC 1-11s and the B727s both had the rear tail doors but as afar as I know there were no backwards facing seats on either aircraft. Dan Air Comets did have backwards facing seats around the wing area but the last flight was in 1980. That probably doesn’t help much? 🤔
@@RogEdwardsTV it all helps, so thank you very much. The Comet looks a lot bigger than the plane we went on and I have pinned it down to the 1-11 or the 727, but the rear-facing seats over the wing have thrown me. It's the only time that I've seen such a seat configuration. Thanks again.
1:50 I would have gave you just the burger no chips the way you said it
🤔
Great video and a look around Leeds - beautiful Cinema! Hotel a bit pricey?
Thanks Steve! 😀
Hello from State of Michigan USA. Thank you for such an excellant view of Dunbar Castle ruins which is my family thru Mary Queen of Scots❤
Thanks so much for watching. Have you every been over to the UK to visit Dunbar? 😀
It appears that the hotel's pricing has not been thoroughly researched. Upon reviewing Google's price trends for rooms in Queens, it seems that room prices only exceed £200 on nights with particularly high demand. The average room rate for the specified room type is typically £126.
Thanks for watching. 😀
Wow !! You have made Leeds look incredible. Enjoyed the vlog bud. Look forward to the next one.
Thanks very much. I do have a soft spot for Leeds and the city does look incredible! 😀
A good video but I think Glasgow was better,At the price they charged you a bottle of red wine should have been included.
I stayed at The Queens a few years ago on the way back from Northumbria to meet an old friend, I'm also a former Leeds student. It looked the same, though it may have been mid refit. I really didn't like it. Full of kids on a big night out in Leeds with multiple room occupancy, shouting and banging on doors at 3am in the morning. Breakfast barely above budget hotel level. The lift a nightmare, I gave up in the end and humped all our luggage down the stairs. Parking in the Q-Park a hassle. Dirty windows. Just poor. I really resented paying the price and although I complained they didn't offer any money off. It gets good reviews so maybe I just had a bad experience. I've a conference there it September so I'll have to figure out whether to give it a second shot.
Thanks for watching Graeme. I didn’t have any noise issues TBH. 😀
How fast was it?
The Vulcan Bomber wasn't supersonic - could get up to about 648mph.
OMG The entrance is FILTHY 😮
There’s a huge excavation project happening in front of the City Station next door. I imagine this creates a lot of dust that gets swept up in that revolving door. 🥲
Great review intresting great city also thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching.
No tea kettle, no coffee? Sorry, I'll pass. I do like the video. I like the Kings Cross area.
Thanks for watching. 🙌
@@RogEdwardsTV 👍
Where are we going next?! I am LOVING this series!!!!
I’ve done 4 out of the 38 remaining British Transport Hotels so plenty more to come, Betsy! 😀
Wow, what a beautiful building, I love art deco, not like any other station hotel I’ve seen. The interior looked just amazing, they have down such a fantastic job keeping it fresh, modern but very much keeping the historic feel. The best I’ve seen you in so far 😊
Thanks for watching. The Art Deco style is fabulous.
We're working hard to make Fraserburgh and Peterhead the next connected to the railway. Look forward to welcoming you.
That’s great to hear. I’ll check out your website. Good luck! 😀
it looks absolutely lovely but I'd have expected breakfast included in the price...and at least a little something in the fridge 😊 and I dread to think of the cost of that gin martini 😆🍸
It was £12:00 - I should have put that in the video! ☺️🍸
