| BRITAIN’S BEST TRAIN: The GWR Pullman service “Royal Duchy” - London to Cornwall 363,673 views Wingin’ It!

Thanks for finding my video and pressing play! This is, in my opinion, Britain’s best public train. With a full service Pullman restaurant, a first class carriage, classic HST diesel haulage and a trip into England’s riviera county, Cornwall, this is the real deal. This one’s called the Royal Duchy after the Duchy of Cornwall (the Duke himself is Prince Charles). The only thing that could make this trip better was the weather! We start at Paddington and wend our way down the Great Western Main Line, past Exeter, the Dawlish sea wall, and Plymouth, and crossing the most iconic railway bridge in England - Brunel’s magnificent Royal Albert Bridge. My journey took me to Newquay so I alighted here at Par for the branch line to take me there. The cost of the ticket? £38.00 in first class. The meal in the Pullman car? Well that was more than the ticket! Well worth it though and I STRONGLY recommend you take this train or another of GWR’s Pullmans (all the Pullman trains are here: https://www.gwr.com/plan-journey/jour...) if you can manage it. Enjoy the report. Oh, here’s the Realtimetrains link (it’s free to use and totally awesome): http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk PS: as a couple of you have pointed out, that's not the Dart river, but the Plym. My mistake! Do you have any ideas for future trip reports? Something you've never seen on YouTube before? Why not suggest it to me in the comments? I read every single one! 👍🏻 Enjoy the video, and thanks for watching. If you subscribe, then thanks for being part of the channel!
