NEW video on the main channel.

It's a strange route but during a temporary relocation to Skegness I'd paid for unlimited travel within a certain area so I thought I might as well try.

Next week's should be a more normal for me route and a train company

Barton-Upon-Humber to Skegness by train

On my last '' journey '' the coach was cancelled while I was already on the way to my flixbus departure point.

I'd say Scotland is probably not far off.

The relentless traveller @gabrielstravels.bsky.social · 3h

As a Glaswegian, Scotlands figures are being screwed over by differing tastes south of the border.

I've not used them in ages.

I've had very limited success with them this year so once these vouchers are used, I'll largely be re allocating my time and finances

🚌 "Flixbus, the coach company with no coaches, eyes the No 1 slot.

Five years ago the firm was not even a competitor with National Express but now its services criss-cross Britain.
It says its tech-savvy approach helps hugely."

👍

Thanks

The relentless traveller @gabrielstravels.bsky.social · 7h

Caledonian sleeper? You might have difficulties booking that!

The relentless traveller @gabrielstravels.bsky.social · 7h

No idea. Someone who goes into shops, buys nearly all of the toilet paper supplies and relists it on ebay way over the original price??

The relentless traveller @gabrielstravels.bsky.social · 7h

I've not had those in years.

They're too time consuming and Sunday is probably the day of the week I'm mosy likely to be away

The relentless traveller @gabrielstravels.bsky.social · 8h

That's understandable

The relentless traveller @gabrielstravels.bsky.social · 8h

And it's the wrong side of the country for where I think you're based so you can't just squeeze it in somewhere quickly

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!

I scream for ice cream

Too much - the airport tax

And the views etc on all of the '' project Plymouth and Penzance '' didn't reach the views from London-Paris and Paris-London last year.

The relentless traveller @gabrielstravels.bsky.social · 1d

Same problem with Ullapool-Stornoway

Anywhere that involves going through Brussels. The views via Brussels don't justify the expenditure.

South West England - the turnaround times on the videos were slow, it costs me nearly as much Paris by Eurostar.

Is there anywhere I've not uploaded on the main channel that you'd like me to upload?

I've looked into these and they failed the return on investment test.
- Kennacraig - Islay
The ferry is cheap but I'd have to get accommodation and hotels in that part of the world are very limited and expensive.

It's wild for me - my time is in high demand so I recently took the rather controversial decision to adopt SNCF style compulsory reservations.

The relentless traveller @gabrielstravels.bsky.social · 1d

Effective 21:00 tonight, responses will be slower than usual and will cut out from time to time.

Disruption is expected of some kind until end of the day 10th of November at least

Made it to Zakopane, and 2 minutes early too! Just 30 minutes behind is another Pendolino, resulting in a rare opportunity to photograph the two side-by-side in a place they've otherwise never been.

What a great trip - now on to the festivities! 👀

I had nearly the same cake at IKEA recently - but no'' red and silver can''

I'm glad you enjoyed it.

But at such short notice?That seems wild to me
