Ep1 – I Travelled FIRST CLASS Around Britain and Here’s What Happened
I travelled around Britain for 2 weeks to film on every First Class train the country has to offer. I created a video series reviewing every single one, but in this 7-part “Behind the Scenes” special, I’ll show you the bits you didn’t see and give you an insight into the effort it takes to produce quality content for YouTube.
In this first episode, I travel from my home in South Wales to London, then take Greater Anglia to Norwich where I spend an hour exploring the city. I then travel back to London and review the Heathrow Express before heading to my hotel for the evening.

Really nice to see the stuff we didn't see.
Fantastic, as ever.
i visit Norwich in 2018 & its a nice city & aswell as the castle there is also a Cathedral too & Norfolk is a nice county with loads of nice places to visit & brilliant bloopers brilliant video
Great love your travel vlogs.
Have a Happy Christmas and a great and safe New year.
See you in 2025.
From Norwich… it's the Train of the Week!
It's very impressive how much back to back filming you do! Also yes you should do the Night Riviera some time, i showered in that toilet you was in – it's very nice 😂
Cracking video you put in so much hard work to produce your finished article. Stay safe and keep on making your videos ❤
Did you say you work in TV? Whats the job title? And genre if so?
Great vlogs, really enjoy them. I think you said you were on a 1st class rover…. do you have to book the seats for each train separately or did you just pick a free one? Thanks
Hi jessica,love the video im amazed at the amount of content and filming you do all in one ,keep it up best wishes to you.❤
This is exciting =)
My Farringdon tip when changing from Elizabeth Line to Thameslink: take the lift and it deposits you straight on the southbound platform
I would be afraid that the gate line barrier consumed my ticket, never to be seen again. Wonder if a photo would be sufficient proof of its ownership?
Jessica for another behind the scenes video could you do a "booking process" type video, you know explaining travel cards and things. bearing in mind at the age of 54 I have only had 2 mainline train rides and that involved my ex wife picking me up at Swindon and dropping me off at Oxford. (collected a Land Rover from Windsor ish and coming back to Devon).Ive done 1000s of miles on heritage lines just not mainline. oh hang on I did do Oakhampton to Marsh Barton and back when Marsh opened. Great Videos Thanks
the lizzi line shot with the off peak fairs got my attention. i pay about 18 pounds a month for one month voucher for 24/7 transport bus train tram bus and three metro lines. mind blowing seeing the Uk costs. Great video I loved the first class series and this really adds a new dimension
Loving this series and am a huge fan of your content. I definitely think you should try the Night Riviera at some point too.
Hi Jessica. I will be interested in your Premier inn series. Having used them for the last 20 or so years, one thing I've found is there no thing as a standard room. First Premier is a merger of two companies. Also they have take over other hotel chains hotel building so the room layouts differ.
@ 1:45 Jessica I scrolled back…..Merry Christmas to you and all viewers too….Thanks for all the BRILLIANT and informative Vlogs.
Brilliant video!! What was the ticket type you were using and how do you book that ticket please?
Hope all is well, take care
love watching peopl,e travel on trains i prob never will, although ive been to Norwich once on a EMR sprinter that took like 3 hours and was horrible
Hi Jessica how are you doing ? I’ve been to Norwich over the years & it is a lovely City but it is in North Norfolk my favourite County in the uk Pal. 👍
The term is saloon when you're in a train carriage. 🙃
I’ve been on First Class and experienced some very nice food. And I think it’s nice to have First Class on some train operators whilst other operators have ditched First Class altogether.
