    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.

    • @RogEdwardsTV
      @RogEdwardsTV 6 дней назад

      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.

    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.

    • @RogEdwardsTV
      @RogEdwardsTV 8 дней назад

      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? 🤔

    • @RobCLynch
      @RobCLynch 8 дней назад

      @@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.

    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.
