1
00:00:00,340 --> 00:00:02,020
GLOVESTRAINS: Hey, everyone!
GLovesTrains 'ere.

2
00:00:02,020 --> 00:00:03,860
Now today, I'm doing
one of the things

3
00:00:03,860 --> 00:00:06,380
that's been on my sort of
bucket list type of thing.

4
00:00:06,700 --> 00:00:08,860
And it is to ride with FlixBus.

5
00:00:09,060 --> 00:00:10,860
Now FlixBus,
contrary to the name,

6
00:00:11,140 --> 00:00:13,420
is a worldwide coach operator.

7
00:00:13,660 --> 00:00:16,180
It serves over 3,000 destinations

8
00:00:16,180 --> 00:00:18,140
across 39 countries.

9
00:00:18,460 --> 00:00:20,580
Today, I'm gonna be
travelling with FlixBus

10
00:00:21,060 --> 00:00:22,780
from Manchester to London.

11
00:00:23,020 --> 00:00:24,860
I am really excited for this, though.

12
00:00:25,060 --> 00:00:26,700
I'm just at Shudehill Interchange.

13
00:00:26,700 --> 00:00:28,380
In front of me is the tram stop

14
00:00:28,380 --> 00:00:30,020
and behind me is the bus station.

15
00:00:30,020 --> 00:00:31,660
However, I have got over an hour

16
00:00:31,660 --> 00:00:33,820
before I need to go
into the bus station, so

17
00:00:34,100 --> 00:00:35,740
I think I'm gonna go and...

18
00:00:35,740 --> 00:00:37,180
stock up on some snacks

19
00:00:37,500 --> 00:00:38,780
for this long journey ahead.

20
00:00:38,780 --> 00:00:40,180
(HAPPY MUSIC)

21
00:00:40,380 --> 00:00:42,300
Squishy boobies!

22
00:00:42,300 --> 00:00:43,980
(HAPPY MUSIC)

23
00:00:46,540 --> 00:00:48,260
Right, I've got some snacks now

24
00:00:48,260 --> 00:00:49,780
and I have picked up Lucy.

25
00:00:50,420 --> 00:00:51,820
We are at stand G.

26
00:00:51,820 --> 00:00:53,940
I guess it's my favourite stand.
(LAUGHS)

27
00:00:53,940 --> 00:00:55,940
And we are waiting...
I think we've got about

28
00:00:55,940 --> 00:00:57,300
half an hour to wait.

29
00:00:57,300 --> 00:00:59,180
But then again, the coach...

30
00:00:59,180 --> 00:01:00,620
I keep wanting to say "bus,"
honestly.

31
00:01:00,620 --> 00:01:02,780
The coach is probably gonna pull in
a little bit earlier,

32
00:01:02,780 --> 00:01:04,420
hopefully anyway,
so we can get onboard.

33
00:01:04,820 --> 00:01:06,900
But it is the 10:50 service

34
00:01:06,900 --> 00:01:08,100
which is the second service

35
00:01:08,100 --> 00:01:09,540
of the day on a Sunday,

36
00:01:09,540 --> 00:01:11,460
'cause yep, we are travelling down
on a Sunday,

37
00:01:11,780 --> 00:01:12,980
...down to London.

38
00:01:12,980 --> 00:01:15,060
So, we're just gonna sit 'ere

39
00:01:15,060 --> 00:01:16,340
and wait for the coach to come in.

40
00:01:16,340 --> 00:01:18,220
(HAPPY MUSIC)

41
00:01:18,220 --> 00:01:19,900
Well, that's gone melons up.

42
00:01:19,900 --> 00:01:22,220
Basically, our coach
has been cancelled.

43
00:01:22,220 --> 00:01:24,260
We were actually told
three days ago

44
00:01:24,260 --> 00:01:25,540
that it was cancelled, but

45
00:01:25,740 --> 00:01:27,540
Lucy didn't check her email.

46
00:01:28,340 --> 00:01:30,260
So we've had to reschedule it.

47
00:01:30,260 --> 00:01:31,540
But the next coach

48
00:01:31,820 --> 00:01:34,380
is only at 15:40.

49
00:01:34,380 --> 00:01:35,820
So we've now got

50
00:01:36,180 --> 00:01:38,420
five hours to kill in Manchester,

51
00:01:38,820 --> 00:01:40,740
before we can actually
go down to London.

52
00:01:40,740 --> 00:01:42,580
Right, we've successfully...

53
00:01:42,580 --> 00:01:44,980
killed five hours.
It's actually flown by.

54
00:01:44,980 --> 00:01:47,660
Doing long waits with Lucy
is actually a great help.

55
00:01:47,660 --> 00:01:49,340
We're just at stand G again.

56
00:01:49,660 --> 00:01:52,420
And our FlixBus is about to pull in
any second.

57
00:01:52,420 --> 00:01:54,260
(HAPPY MUSIC)

58
00:01:56,020 --> 00:01:59,340
LUCY: Want the window?
G: Yeah, please. Thank you.

59
00:01:59,340 --> 00:02:01,020
(HAPPY MUSIC)

60
00:02:01,020 --> 00:02:02,380
All right, we're onboard now.

61
00:02:02,380 --> 00:02:04,900
When we booked the tickets online,
it did give an option

62
00:02:04,900 --> 00:02:06,780
whether you wanted
to reserve a seat.

63
00:02:06,780 --> 00:02:08,900
We tried to get the back seats,
but they were already taken.

64
00:02:09,180 --> 00:02:11,380
So we ended up reserving
the two in front of that.

65
00:02:11,740 --> 00:02:13,580
However, now that
we're on a different coach,

66
00:02:13,580 --> 00:02:15,380
we have been still given seats

67
00:02:15,580 --> 00:02:17,100
5C and 5D.

68
00:02:17,100 --> 00:02:20,620
We did have to pay
an extra £1.99, I think, each

69
00:02:20,980 --> 00:02:22,100
to reserve the seats.

70
00:02:22,900 --> 00:02:25,060
But because obviously
we're on a different coach now,

71
00:02:25,060 --> 00:02:27,020
they have refunded us that amount.

72
00:02:27,020 --> 00:02:29,180
DRIVER: 'Welcome aboard
this 030 service.

73
00:02:29,180 --> 00:02:30,900
'When you use the toilet
whilst the coach is in motion,

74
00:02:30,900 --> 00:02:33,020
'take extra care going down the stairs.

75
00:02:34,140 --> 00:02:36,420
'Also, strongly recommend
when you use the toilet,

76
00:02:37,140 --> 00:02:38,220
'lock the door behind you.

77
00:02:38,220 --> 00:02:40,620
'Saves any embarrassment
on someone walking in on you.

78
00:02:41,740 --> 00:02:42,860
'Also, please do not

79
00:02:42,860 --> 00:02:45,540
'flush any tissues,
paper towels, toilet rolls

80
00:02:46,740 --> 00:02:48,140
'down it.
It will only block it

81
00:02:48,140 --> 00:02:50,060
'and close it for the duration
of this service.'

82
00:02:50,060 --> 00:02:51,380
G: We have set off now.

83
00:02:51,380 --> 00:02:54,220
We're just making our way
through the centre of Manchester.

84
00:02:54,540 --> 00:02:57,620
Now, it is gonna take us
overall the journey,

85
00:02:57,620 --> 00:02:59,580
five hours thirty to get from

86
00:02:59,580 --> 00:03:00,940
Manchester to London.

87
00:03:01,380 --> 00:03:02,700
I have been going down to London

88
00:03:03,100 --> 00:03:04,780
a little bit more
this past year, actually.

89
00:03:04,780 --> 00:03:07,300
But obviously,
usually I take the train.

90
00:03:07,300 --> 00:03:09,700
It is a shorter journey
on the train, of course.

91
00:03:10,380 --> 00:03:12,540
But also, it's more expensive
on the train.

92
00:03:12,740 --> 00:03:15,740
The tickets per person for us
have ended up costing

93
00:03:15,740 --> 00:03:17,580
just £7.99.

94
00:03:17,820 --> 00:03:19,700
But you also might
remember me saying,

95
00:03:19,700 --> 00:03:21,020
once upon a time in a vlog,

96
00:03:21,020 --> 00:03:23,420
that coaches are the only
form of transport...

97
00:03:23,860 --> 00:03:25,180
well, that I know of,

98
00:03:25,540 --> 00:03:27,100
that give me travel sickness.

99
00:03:27,100 --> 00:03:28,860
So, we'll see how I cope with that.

100
00:03:28,860 --> 00:03:30,260
But yeah, like I said before,

101
00:03:30,260 --> 00:03:32,900
this is just one of those things
that I've just always wanted to do.

102
00:03:32,900 --> 00:03:35,300
(HAPPY MUSIC)

103
00:03:45,860 --> 00:03:47,460
We are on the motorway now.

104
00:03:47,460 --> 00:03:50,340
And we are pretty much gonna be
travelling along motorways...

105
00:03:50,740 --> 00:03:52,140
the whole ride down to London.

106
00:03:52,140 --> 00:03:53,460
But when I first stepped on here,

107
00:03:53,460 --> 00:03:55,020
I was actually surprised
at the interior.

108
00:03:55,020 --> 00:03:56,460
Because obviously, the exterior

109
00:03:56,460 --> 00:03:58,860
is a bright lime green colour,
which I do love.

110
00:03:59,180 --> 00:04:00,580
I do also love the interior of this.

111
00:04:00,580 --> 00:04:03,420
But I almost thought,
there'll be green inside of here as well.

112
00:04:03,420 --> 00:04:05,660
But it is a black and red theme.

113
00:04:05,660 --> 00:04:07,420
LUCY: Simplified colours are used

114
00:04:07,580 --> 00:04:09,980
for easier transferring out of the fleet
in the future.

115
00:04:10,820 --> 00:04:11,940
G: Thank you, bus expert.

116
00:04:11,940 --> 00:04:14,180
Also down the coach,
obviously there's a lot of seats.

117
00:04:14,780 --> 00:04:16,500
There's also overhead luggage space.

118
00:04:16,500 --> 00:04:18,580
You are allowed to bring one...

119
00:04:18,580 --> 00:04:20,180
piece of hand luggage with you.

120
00:04:20,180 --> 00:04:23,140
Or you can pay extra
if you want to bring more.

121
00:04:23,140 --> 00:04:24,660
There's also air-con throughout

122
00:04:25,100 --> 00:04:27,220
and free Wi-fi which can be used.

123
00:04:27,220 --> 00:04:29,740
And also, just a little bit
further back behind us,

124
00:04:29,740 --> 00:04:31,740
there is a toilet,
which is great for me.

125
00:04:31,740 --> 00:04:33,260
And inevitably, I will be going

126
00:04:33,460 --> 00:04:34,900
checking that out at some point.

127
00:04:35,260 --> 00:04:37,100
Now, as for your suitcases,

128
00:04:37,100 --> 00:04:38,900
you're allowed to bring
one suitcase per person.

129
00:04:39,260 --> 00:04:42,580
And they do...take that
and put it below the seats

130
00:04:42,580 --> 00:04:43,980
in the luggage storage space,

131
00:04:43,980 --> 00:04:45,900
as you're boarding onto the coach.

132
00:04:46,260 --> 00:04:48,020
Now at your seat itself,

133
00:04:48,500 --> 00:04:50,580
you have got...
There is a USB port

134
00:04:50,580 --> 00:04:53,260
which is on the back
of the seat in front of you.

135
00:04:53,260 --> 00:04:54,660
However, mine isn't working.

136
00:04:54,660 --> 00:04:56,140
Lucy's is working though,

137
00:04:56,140 --> 00:04:58,540
so I shall be
using hers later on.

138
00:04:59,220 --> 00:05:01,620
We've got a seat tray
with two cup-holders.

139
00:05:01,620 --> 00:05:03,460
Handy for Lucy
'cause she drinks a lot.

140
00:05:03,700 --> 00:05:05,340
And we've also got this little

141
00:05:05,340 --> 00:05:06,820
slot thing
where you can put your phone

142
00:05:06,820 --> 00:05:07,820
and stand it up.

143
00:05:07,820 --> 00:05:09,180
(LAUGHS)
There's also a little flap,

144
00:05:09,180 --> 00:05:10,700
like what you find on aeroplanes,

145
00:05:10,700 --> 00:05:12,380
where you put like magazines and stuff.

146
00:05:12,940 --> 00:05:13,940
There's a curtain.

147
00:05:13,940 --> 00:05:15,540
Above you is where the air-con is.

148
00:05:15,540 --> 00:05:16,780
There's also a Stop button.

149
00:05:16,780 --> 00:05:18,700
However, you don't actually
need to use that,

150
00:05:18,700 --> 00:05:20,700
because all the coaches on FlixBus

151
00:05:20,700 --> 00:05:23,660
stop at all the calling points anyways.

152
00:05:24,100 --> 00:05:25,540
And then, of course,
you've got the seat.

153
00:05:25,540 --> 00:05:28,100
You have got a seatbelt.
You do have to wear your seatbelt, of course.

154
00:05:28,900 --> 00:05:30,220
And you've got a headrest on here.

155
00:05:30,220 --> 00:05:32,820
The seat itself,
I think it's pretty comfy.

156
00:05:32,820 --> 00:05:34,940
You can also recline it,
if you so wish to,

157
00:05:34,940 --> 00:05:36,500
you know,
go a little bit backwards.

158
00:05:36,500 --> 00:05:38,140
But I'm good sitting upright.

159
00:05:38,620 --> 00:05:40,980
And at the very bottom,
you do have a footrest.

160
00:05:40,980 --> 00:05:42,460
(HAPPY MUSIC)

161
00:06:00,340 --> 00:06:01,860
It's raining, it's pouring,

162
00:06:01,860 --> 00:06:03,060
Lucy's nearly snoring.

163
00:06:03,980 --> 00:06:05,620
But no, yeah, it is actually

164
00:06:05,620 --> 00:06:07,380
proper raining out there
at the minute.

165
00:06:07,380 --> 00:06:09,180
And it's been like really sunny

166
00:06:09,180 --> 00:06:10,460
over the past few days as well.

167
00:06:10,460 --> 00:06:12,940
So...I'm definitely we're inside
on this coach.

168
00:06:12,940 --> 00:06:15,260
As opposed to waiting around
out in the rain.

169
00:06:15,260 --> 00:06:17,140
But anyways,
we have just passed over

170
00:06:17,140 --> 00:06:18,700
the West Coast Main Line, actually.

171
00:06:18,700 --> 00:06:20,980
And we are now making our way
through Stafford.

172
00:06:21,260 --> 00:06:23,460
Which is where the Knicker Monster lives.

173
00:06:23,740 --> 00:06:25,100
So I am on the lookout.

174
00:06:25,420 --> 00:06:27,260
LUCY: Pretty sure it won't be out.
It's not Halloween.

175
00:06:27,820 --> 00:06:29,660
G: It might be Halloween
by the time this vlog goes out!

176
00:06:29,660 --> 00:06:30,980
(HAPPY MUSIC)

180
00:06:46,700 --> 00:06:49,780
G: We are on the approach
to our first stop now.

181
00:06:49,780 --> 00:06:53,020
Now this is the 030 route
we're travelling on,

182
00:06:53,020 --> 00:06:55,020
which goes from Glasgow...

183
00:06:55,580 --> 00:06:57,580
and it stops at Lancaster, Preston,

184
00:06:57,580 --> 00:06:59,900
and then Manchester,
which is obviously where we got on.

185
00:07:00,580 --> 00:07:02,820
We make two calling points en route

186
00:07:02,820 --> 00:07:05,540
at Birmingham and
London Finchley Road,

187
00:07:05,820 --> 00:07:09,020
before we reach the terminus
of London Victoria.

188
00:07:09,300 --> 00:07:11,860
Now the coach that we were
meant to get on this morning,

189
00:07:11,860 --> 00:07:14,500
that was on the 023 route,

190
00:07:14,980 --> 00:07:17,460
which runs from Manchester,
calls at the two stops,

191
00:07:17,660 --> 00:07:20,540
and then terminates
at London Victoria.

192
00:07:20,540 --> 00:07:22,660
(HAPPY MUSIC)

193
00:07:31,060 --> 00:07:32,420
DRIVER: 'Right, sorry about that.

194
00:07:32,420 --> 00:07:33,780
'We had an alarm keep going off

195
00:07:33,780 --> 00:07:35,300
'for the last hour and a half.'
(CHILD CHEERS)

196
00:07:35,300 --> 00:07:38,220
DRIVER: 'It turns out
it was the wheelchair door.

197
00:07:38,700 --> 00:07:41,260
'Apologies for the young lady
that her bag fell out.

198
00:07:41,900 --> 00:07:44,180
'But...but we did
pick everything up for you.'

199
00:07:44,180 --> 00:07:47,140
PASSENGER: You really did.
G: (LAUGHS)

200
00:07:47,380 --> 00:07:49,180
We are leaving Scaremingham now.

201
00:07:49,460 --> 00:07:51,340
A lot of people did actually get off.

202
00:07:51,740 --> 00:07:53,700
So I think it is
one of the more popular stops

203
00:07:53,700 --> 00:07:55,020
along this route.

204
00:07:55,020 --> 00:07:57,380
But also, a lot of people did get on.

205
00:07:57,620 --> 00:07:59,100
We were sitting there
for a little while,

206
00:07:59,100 --> 00:08:00,540
because there was a problem

207
00:08:00,540 --> 00:08:03,300
with an alarm going off
on the coach.

208
00:08:03,300 --> 00:08:05,940
And...that was finally sorted out.

209
00:08:05,940 --> 00:08:08,260
It was some problem
with the disabled door.

210
00:08:08,700 --> 00:08:10,940
But we are now running
about twenty minutes late.

211
00:08:10,940 --> 00:08:12,580
Hopefully, we will make up...

212
00:08:13,220 --> 00:08:15,900
that time back
on the way down to London.

213
00:08:16,180 --> 00:08:17,500
And do you know what?

214
00:08:17,500 --> 00:08:21,340
I actually have not felt sick
at all, so far.

215
00:08:21,340 --> 00:08:23,060
I'm actually really enjoying this ride.

216
00:08:23,060 --> 00:08:25,260
(HAPPY MUSIC)

217
00:08:39,940 --> 00:08:42,140
(LOUD BUS NOISE)
Okay, the toilet is very small.

218
00:08:42,300 --> 00:08:44,340
And it's very loud and rattly.

219
00:08:44,980 --> 00:08:48,020
But you're not even allowed
to flush toilet paper.

220
00:08:48,540 --> 00:08:49,860
I use a lot of toilet paper!
(LAUGHS)

221
00:08:49,860 --> 00:08:51,660
(HAPPY MUSIC)

222
00:09:00,660 --> 00:09:02,100
Well, I was about to say it was

223
00:09:02,100 --> 00:09:03,900
absolutely just chucking it down

224
00:09:03,900 --> 00:09:05,340
and you could barely see
out the windows.

225
00:09:05,340 --> 00:09:06,500
But it's gone a little lighter now.

226
00:09:06,500 --> 00:09:08,300
And I think
the rain's calming down a bit.

227
00:09:08,500 --> 00:09:09,940
(LAUGHS)
As for the coach,

228
00:09:09,940 --> 00:09:11,260
we are on...

229
00:09:11,260 --> 00:09:12,900
I'm not supposed
to call them units,

230
00:09:12,900 --> 00:09:14,420
I know, Lucy keeps
telling me off for it.

231
00:09:14,660 --> 00:09:17,060
But we're on 0643 and this is

232
00:09:17,060 --> 00:09:19,700
a Volvo 9700

233
00:09:20,180 --> 00:09:22,420
which is actually a newer model.
(CHILD SHOUTS)

234
00:09:22,420 --> 00:09:25,100
I have been informed
that it's only a year old.

235
00:09:25,340 --> 00:09:28,340
We have got thereabouts
around two hours left, so...

236
00:09:28,540 --> 00:09:30,700
I think we're gonna just get
the snacks back out.

237
00:09:30,700 --> 00:09:33,180
I've actually bought
a beetroot sandwich.

238
00:09:33,180 --> 00:09:35,460
I saw it in Co-op, I mean.
(LAUGHS)

239
00:09:35,820 --> 00:09:38,140
That sounds like something
I would invent, to be fair.

240
00:09:38,140 --> 00:09:39,780
So, let's give that a try.

241
00:09:39,780 --> 00:09:41,140
(HAPPY MUSIC)

242
00:09:42,860 --> 00:09:44,100
It does taste all right, to be fair.

243
00:09:44,100 --> 00:09:45,460
I do actually love beetroot.

244
00:09:45,660 --> 00:09:48,300
It's crunchy and pickly. Do you want a taste?
(CHILD SHOUTS)

245
00:09:52,260 --> 00:09:53,420
LUCY: It's actually quite nice!

246
00:09:53,420 --> 00:09:55,340
G: Do you like that? I'm surprised you like that.
LUCY: But I don't like the tex...

247
00:09:55,340 --> 00:09:57,180
(HAPPY MUSIC)

248
00:10:06,620 --> 00:10:09,420
G: Oh look, we're going by
a diversionary route.

249
00:10:09,420 --> 00:10:11,140
Ooh, there's some flowing water there.

250
00:10:12,580 --> 00:10:14,900
But basically,
there is a major delay

251
00:10:14,900 --> 00:10:16,340
on the M1 at the moment.

252
00:10:16,540 --> 00:10:18,700
So, the drivers are taking us

253
00:10:18,700 --> 00:10:20,260
around through Milton Keynes

254
00:10:20,260 --> 00:10:21,820
and tryna avoid that.

255
00:10:21,820 --> 00:10:23,740
It will mean we're

256
00:10:23,740 --> 00:10:25,500
a little more delayed
going into London.

257
00:10:25,500 --> 00:10:28,140
(BUS RATTLES)
But if we were to stay on the M1,

258
00:10:28,140 --> 00:10:31,060
we'd be an hour further delayed
getting into London.

259
00:10:31,340 --> 00:10:32,860
There's also
nowhere near as many

260
00:10:32,860 --> 00:10:35,940
as in actual Roundabout Central,
Chorley, but...

261
00:10:35,940 --> 00:10:37,940
there are quite a few roundabouts
we're going around

262
00:10:38,300 --> 00:10:40,580
at the minute in Milton Keynes.

263
00:10:40,820 --> 00:10:42,100
Do you know what?
It's probably gonna be dark

264
00:10:42,100 --> 00:10:43,700
by the time we get into London
at this rate!

265
00:10:43,700 --> 00:10:45,620
(HAPPY MUSIC)

266
00:10:57,980 --> 00:10:59,740
We have just left the motorway now

267
00:10:59,740 --> 00:11:01,740
and that is us done

268
00:11:01,740 --> 00:11:04,020
with motorways
for the rest of the ride.

269
00:11:04,780 --> 00:11:06,900
Should be coming into
near Finchley Road

270
00:11:06,900 --> 00:11:08,620
in about ten, fifteen minutes.

271
00:11:08,620 --> 00:11:10,340
(HAPPY MUSIC)

272
00:11:18,700 --> 00:11:20,380
We've pulled in
to Finchley Road now.

273
00:11:20,380 --> 00:11:23,140
And it honestly felt like
the whole coach just emptied.

274
00:11:23,140 --> 00:11:24,580
There are still a few people on.

275
00:11:25,140 --> 00:11:26,980
But Lucy has just told me,
actually, that...

276
00:11:27,300 --> 00:11:29,220
'Cause I was wondering,
"I wonder if anybody would

277
00:11:29,740 --> 00:11:31,740
"actually get on here
to go to Victoria?"

278
00:11:31,740 --> 00:11:33,460
But you're not allowed to...

279
00:11:33,460 --> 00:11:35,100
to book between those two stops.

280
00:11:35,380 --> 00:11:37,620
And also, there's an Aldi Local

281
00:11:37,940 --> 00:11:39,460
across the road from this stop.

282
00:11:39,460 --> 00:11:41,460
I've never in my life seen an Aldi Lo...

283
00:11:41,460 --> 00:11:42,940
What is an Aldi Local?

284
00:11:42,940 --> 00:11:44,180

G: It will have been half an hour since

286
00:11:54,380 --> 00:11:56,060
we left Finchley Road,
by the time

287
00:11:56,060 --> 00:11:58,820
we do pull very shortly
into Victoria.

288
00:11:58,820 --> 00:12:00,780
As for the light late evenings...

289
00:12:00,780 --> 00:12:02,180
it certainly is going dark now.

290
00:12:02,180 --> 00:12:04,100
Hence why they did put the lights on

291
00:12:04,340 --> 00:12:05,420
a little while back.

292
00:12:05,420 --> 00:12:07,340
And do you know what?
I'm so relaxed right now.

293
00:12:07,340 --> 00:12:08,620
I mean I could do with

294
00:12:08,620 --> 00:12:10,500
stretching my legs a little bit,
not gonna lie.

295
00:12:10,900 --> 00:12:13,300
But...yeah, I kinda don't wanna
get off here, really!

296
00:12:13,300 --> 00:12:14,500
Could actually fall asleep.

297
00:12:14,500 --> 00:12:15,940
I was initially tempted

298
00:12:15,940 --> 00:12:18,060
to do the night coach
down to London.

299
00:12:18,060 --> 00:12:19,580
But...in the end,

300
00:12:19,580 --> 00:12:21,260
it just turned out
handier for us

301
00:12:21,620 --> 00:12:22,740
to get the day one down.

302
00:12:22,740 --> 00:12:24,140
(HAPPY MUSIC)

303
00:12:35,020 --> 00:12:36,420
All right, we're off the coach now.

304
00:12:36,420 --> 00:12:37,740
We've just picked up our suitcase.

305
00:12:37,740 --> 00:12:40,340
We were supposed to arrive
at ten past nine,

306
00:12:40,340 --> 00:12:43,380
but we were about
twenty minutes delayed, to be fair.

307
00:12:43,380 --> 00:12:45,060
I thought it was gonna be
a little bit later.

308
00:12:45,660 --> 00:12:47,540
But yeah, we're here at half nine.

309
00:12:47,540 --> 00:12:48,940
And I have been forewarned

310
00:12:49,140 --> 00:12:51,380
that Victoria Coach Station
(LUGGAGE WHEELS RATTLE)

311
00:12:51,380 --> 00:12:53,500
is absolutely humungous.

312
00:12:53,740 --> 00:12:56,220
Apparently, it's split
into several buildings.

313
00:12:56,420 --> 00:12:58,820
We've just come out of
the arrivals building.

314
00:12:59,060 --> 00:13:01,180
It is only like
a five, ten minute walk

315
00:13:01,420 --> 00:13:03,020
to Victoria railway station.

G: Well, I have really enjoyed that.

320
00:13:09,740 --> 00:13:11,820
What an experience
riding FlixBus

321
00:13:11,820 --> 00:13:13,180
for the first time.

322
00:13:13,740 --> 00:13:15,980
Even with the...
kid in front of us

323
00:13:16,180 --> 00:13:18,380
pretending to be half-duck
the whole way,

324
00:13:18,380 --> 00:13:19,820
throwing cake at my shoes!
(LAUGHS)

325
00:13:19,980 --> 00:13:21,420
But anyways, I tell you what,

326
00:13:21,420 --> 00:13:24,100
I didn't get a single bit
of travel sickness

327
00:13:24,100 --> 00:13:25,940
the whole way down just then.
I mean,

328
00:13:25,940 --> 00:13:28,580
I don't think I've ever had that
on a coach before.

329
00:13:28,580 --> 00:13:30,260
I think the newer modern seats

330
00:13:30,260 --> 00:13:31,820
really did help with that as well.

331
00:13:31,820 --> 00:13:34,220
And I have been left wondering,
actually like,

332
00:13:34,380 --> 00:13:35,820
what happens if you need a poo?

333
00:13:36,020 --> 00:13:38,300
Because you literally had to
put the toilet paper

334
00:13:38,500 --> 00:13:40,980
in an open bin
at the side of the toilet.

335
00:13:41,260 --> 00:13:43,380
Anyways, let's leave that one
to imagination.

336
00:13:43,660 --> 00:13:45,300
Thank you very much
for watching, everyone!
