I hit that all important subscriber milestone recently of 318,390 people, so I asled on my community tab for some questions, as it’s always fun to do a Q&A video once in a while …

Having bought a property up in Crewe last year as a buy to let because of HS2, the hope is that it will come at some point soon and I believe it will eventually happen but who honestly knows when. Another great video Geoff
Countdown timers: Be careful Geoff, if you cause too much of a problem they'll change the countdown to say "The next train will arrive in a few moments" 😁
Edit: By the way, I'm in the UK and my Thanks button has a dollar symbol on it. Come on Youtube, get your act together!!
HS2 should not go to Euston, it should go to London. That’s not the same. It should go underground, Crossrail 2 right under London then out the other side onto HS1. There’s no point paying the premium for a fast service to Euston if weve then got to walk to the tube. Better to get straight into the heart of London.
amazing video even if its just choo choo chat. Interesting about HS2, yep its sadly should of been built in full. Agree, and also agree with reopenings., Im stuck in Newbury and we only have east west capability when we used to have north south also.Great Videos as always. Hugo
Funnily enough, 318,390, is the number of times I had to ask for some milk with my coffee, when I was travelling from Bristol to London the other day.. The trolley people were busy having a chinwag with, the guy from off of the Go Compare adverts, he was travelling to Gatwick.
Inconceivable that HS2 is truncated at this stage – so we are delaying it for a massively increased cost in future, and years of delays on the decaying west coast line, whilst it is proped up until a sensible government get on with the job of completing it. It is not about speed, as you say Geoff, it is about progress. Until then we have cars !!
So sorry I never met you on the Hidden London tours – have been on just about all of them, would have loved your take on them !

As someone who used to subscribe to this channel years ago, but hasn't watched for some time, my question would be "Where's Vicky?"…

That's great 👍 😊
Oh shoot you had me convinced those were the numbers in pi 😀
I went on one of your Aldwych tours with my dad!
timing of trains comming is expensive sensors and computers system's.
Used to use Aldwich back in the 60's
Geoff – of course HS2 is about additional capacity, living close to GWR at Reading you easily forget this.
No way it’s Frank Pick

The seconds counter is in Barcelona, but time goes up sometimes, so not really that useful
Thanks!
Is the number after the Class 318 and the pendolino? If so, why those 2?
Geoff the TPE nova 3 will be fully withdrawn in December
So after December the TPE fleet would be class 802, 185,397
Geoff any news from avanti west coast
