WEBVTT

00:00:00.340 --> 00:00:02.020
GLOVESTRAINS: Hey, everyone!
GLovesTrains 'ere.

00:00:02.020 --> 00:00:03.860
Now today, I'm doing
one of the things

00:00:03.860 --> 00:00:06.380
that's been on my sort of
bucket list type of thing.

00:00:06.700 --> 00:00:08.860
And it is to ride with FlixBus.

00:00:09.060 --> 00:00:10.860
Now FlixBus,
contrary to the name,

00:00:11.140 --> 00:00:13.420
is a worldwide coach operator.

00:00:13.660 --> 00:00:16.180
It serves over 3,000 destinations

00:00:16.180 --> 00:00:18.140
across 39 countries.

00:00:18.460 --> 00:00:20.580
Today, I'm gonna be
travelling with FlixBus

00:00:21.060 --> 00:00:22.780
from Manchester to London.

00:00:23.020 --> 00:00:24.860
I am really excited for this, though.

00:00:25.060 --> 00:00:26.700
I'm just at Shudehill Interchange.

00:00:26.700 --> 00:00:28.380
In front of me is the tram stop

00:00:28.380 --> 00:00:30.020
and behind me is the bus station.

00:00:30.020 --> 00:00:31.660
However, I have got over an hour

00:00:31.660 --> 00:00:33.820
before I need to go
into the bus station, so

00:00:34.100 --> 00:00:35.740
I think I'm gonna go and...

00:00:35.740 --> 00:00:37.180
stock up on some snacks

00:00:37.500 --> 00:00:38.780
for this long journey ahead.

00:00:38.780 --> 00:00:40.180
(HAPPY MUSIC)

00:00:40.380 --> 00:00:42.300
Squishy boobies!

00:00:42.300 --> 00:00:43.980
(HAPPY MUSIC)

00:00:46.540 --> 00:00:48.260
Right, I've got some snacks now

00:00:48.260 --> 00:00:49.780
and I have picked up Lucy.

00:00:50.420 --> 00:00:51.820
We are at stand G.

00:00:51.820 --> 00:00:53.940
I guess it's my favourite stand.
(LAUGHS)

00:00:53.940 --> 00:00:55.940
And we are waiting...
I think we've got about

00:00:55.940 --> 00:00:57.300
half an hour to wait.

00:00:57.300 --> 00:00:59.180
But then again, the coach...

00:00:59.180 --> 00:01:00.620
I keep wanting to say "bus,"
honestly.

00:01:00.620 --> 00:01:02.780
The coach is probably gonna pull in
a little bit earlier,

00:01:02.780 --> 00:01:04.420
hopefully anyway,
so we can get onboard.

00:01:04.820 --> 00:01:06.900
But it is the 10:50 service

00:01:06.900 --> 00:01:08.100
which is the second service

00:01:08.100 --> 00:01:09.540
of the day on a Sunday,

00:01:09.540 --> 00:01:11.460
'cause yep, we are travelling down
on a Sunday,

00:01:11.780 --> 00:01:12.980
...down to London.

00:01:12.980 --> 00:01:15.060
So, we're just gonna sit 'ere

00:01:15.060 --> 00:01:16.340
and wait for the coach to come in.

00:01:16.340 --> 00:01:18.220
(HAPPY MUSIC)

00:01:18.220 --> 00:01:19.900
Well, that's gone melons up.

00:01:19.900 --> 00:01:22.220
Basically, our coach
has been cancelled.

00:01:22.220 --> 00:01:24.260
We were actually told
three days ago

00:01:24.260 --> 00:01:25.540
that it was cancelled, but

00:01:25.740 --> 00:01:27.540
Lucy didn't check her email.

00:01:28.340 --> 00:01:30.260
So we've had to reschedule it.

00:01:30.260 --> 00:01:31.540
But the next coach

00:01:31.820 --> 00:01:34.380
is only at 15:40.

00:01:34.380 --> 00:01:35.820
So we've now got

00:01:36.180 --> 00:01:38.420
five hours to kill in Manchester,

00:01:38.820 --> 00:01:40.740
before we can actually
go down to London.

00:01:40.740 --> 00:01:42.580
Right, we've successfully...

00:01:42.580 --> 00:01:44.980
killed five hours.
It's actually flown by.

00:01:44.980 --> 00:01:47.660
Doing long waits with Lucy
is actually a great help.

00:01:47.660 --> 00:01:49.340
We're just at stand G again.

00:01:49.660 --> 00:01:52.420
And our FlixBus is about to pull in
any second.

00:01:52.420 --> 00:01:54.260
(HAPPY MUSIC)

00:01:56.020 --> 00:01:59.340
LUCY: Want the window?
G: Yeah, please. Thank you.

00:01:59.340 --> 00:02:01.020
(HAPPY MUSIC)

00:02:01.020 --> 00:02:02.380
All right, we're onboard now.

00:02:02.380 --> 00:02:04.900
When we booked the tickets online,
it did give an option

00:02:04.900 --> 00:02:06.780
whether you wanted
to reserve a seat.

00:02:06.780 --> 00:02:08.900
We tried to get the back seats,
but they were already taken.

00:02:09.180 --> 00:02:11.380
So we ended up reserving
the two in front of that.

00:02:11.740 --> 00:02:13.580
However, now that
we're on a different coach,

00:02:13.580 --> 00:02:15.380
we have been still given seats

00:02:15.580 --> 00:02:17.100
5C and 5D.

00:02:17.100 --> 00:02:20.620
We did have to pay
an extra £1.99, I think, each

00:02:20.980 --> 00:02:22.100
to reserve the seats.

00:02:22.900 --> 00:02:25.060
But because obviously
we're on a different coach now,

00:02:25.060 --> 00:02:27.020
they have refunded us that amount.

00:02:27.020 --> 00:02:29.180
DRIVER: 'Welcome aboard
this 030 service.

00:02:29.180 --> 00:02:30.900
'When you use the toilet
whilst the coach is in motion,

00:02:30.900 --> 00:02:33.020
'take extra care going down the stairs.

00:02:34.140 --> 00:02:36.420
'Also, strongly recommend
when you use the toilet,

00:02:37.140 --> 00:02:38.220
'lock the door behind you.

00:02:38.220 --> 00:02:40.620
'Saves any embarrassment
on someone walking in on you.

00:02:41.740 --> 00:02:42.860
'Also, please do not

00:02:42.860 --> 00:02:45.540
'flush any tissues,
paper towels, toilet rolls

00:02:46.740 --> 00:02:48.140
'down it.
It will only block it

00:02:48.140 --> 00:02:50.060
'and close it for the duration
of this service.'

00:02:50.060 --> 00:02:51.380
G: We have set off now.

00:02:51.380 --> 00:02:54.220
We're just making our way
through the centre of Manchester.

00:02:54.540 --> 00:02:57.620
Now, it is gonna take us
overall the journey,

00:02:57.620 --> 00:02:59.580
five hours thirty to get from

00:02:59.580 --> 00:03:00.940
Manchester to London.

00:03:01.380 --> 00:03:02.700
I have been going down to London

00:03:03.100 --> 00:03:04.780
a little bit more
this past year, actually.

00:03:04.780 --> 00:03:07.300
But obviously,
usually I take the train.

00:03:07.300 --> 00:03:09.700
It is a shorter journey
on the train, of course.

00:03:10.380 --> 00:03:12.540
But also, it's more expensive
on the train.

00:03:12.740 --> 00:03:15.740
The tickets per person for us
have ended up costing

00:03:15.740 --> 00:03:17.580
just £7.99.

00:03:17.820 --> 00:03:19.700
But you also might
remember me saying,

00:03:19.700 --> 00:03:21.020
once upon a time in a vlog,

00:03:21.020 --> 00:03:23.420
that coaches are the only
form of transport...

00:03:23.860 --> 00:03:25.180
well, that I know of,

00:03:25.540 --> 00:03:27.100
that give me travel sickness.

00:03:27.100 --> 00:03:28.860
So, we'll see how I cope with that.

00:03:28.860 --> 00:03:30.260
But yeah, like I said before,

00:03:30.260 --> 00:03:32.900
this is just one of those things
that I've just always wanted to do.

00:03:32.900 --> 00:03:35.300
(HAPPY MUSIC)

00:03:45.860 --> 00:03:47.460
We are on the motorway now.

00:03:47.460 --> 00:03:50.340
And we are pretty much gonna be
travelling along motorways...

00:03:50.740 --> 00:03:52.140
the whole ride down to London.

00:03:52.140 --> 00:03:53.460
But when I first stepped on here,

00:03:53.460 --> 00:03:55.020
I was actually surprised
at the interior.

00:03:55.020 --> 00:03:56.460
Because obviously, the exterior

00:03:56.460 --> 00:03:58.860
is a bright lime green colour,
which I do love.

00:03:59.180 --> 00:04:00.580
I do also love the interior of this.

00:04:00.580 --> 00:04:03.420
But I almost thought,
there'll be green inside of here as well.

00:04:03.420 --> 00:04:05.660
But it is a black and red theme.

00:04:05.660 --> 00:04:07.420
LUCY: Simplified colours are used

00:04:07.580 --> 00:04:09.980
for easier transferring out of the fleet
in the future.

00:04:10.820 --> 00:04:11.940
G: Thank you, bus expert.

00:04:11.940 --> 00:04:14.180
Also down the coach,
obviously there's a lot of seats.

00:04:14.780 --> 00:04:16.500
There's also overhead luggage space.

00:04:16.500 --> 00:04:18.580
You are allowed to bring one...

00:04:18.580 --> 00:04:20.180
piece of hand luggage with you.

00:04:20.180 --> 00:04:23.140
Or you can pay extra
if you want to bring more.

00:04:23.140 --> 00:04:24.660
There's also air-con throughout

00:04:25.100 --> 00:04:27.220
and free Wi-fi which can be used.

00:04:27.220 --> 00:04:29.740
And also, just a little bit
further back behind us,

00:04:29.740 --> 00:04:31.740
there is a toilet,
which is great for me.

00:04:31.740 --> 00:04:33.260
And inevitably, I will be going

00:04:33.460 --> 00:04:34.900
checking that out at some point.

00:04:35.260 --> 00:04:37.100
Now, as for your suitcases,

00:04:37.100 --> 00:04:38.900
you're allowed to bring
one suitcase per person.

00:04:39.260 --> 00:04:42.580
And they do...take that
and put it below the seats

00:04:42.580 --> 00:04:43.980
in the luggage storage space,

00:04:43.980 --> 00:04:45.900
as you're boarding onto the coach.

00:04:46.260 --> 00:04:48.020
Now at your seat itself,

00:04:48.500 --> 00:04:50.580
you have got...
There is a USB port

00:04:50.580 --> 00:04:53.260
which is on the back
of the seat in front of you.

00:04:53.260 --> 00:04:54.660
However, mine isn't working.

00:04:54.660 --> 00:04:56.140
Lucy's is working though,

00:04:56.140 --> 00:04:58.540
so I shall be
using hers later on.

00:04:59.220 --> 00:05:01.620
We've got a seat tray
with two cup-holders.

00:05:01.620 --> 00:05:03.460
Handy for Lucy
'cause she drinks a lot.

00:05:03.700 --> 00:05:05.340
And we've also got this little

00:05:05.340 --> 00:05:06.820
slot thing
where you can put your phone

00:05:06.820 --> 00:05:07.820
and stand it up.

00:05:07.820 --> 00:05:09.180
(LAUGHS)
There's also a little flap,

00:05:09.180 --> 00:05:10.700
like what you find on aeroplanes,

00:05:10.700 --> 00:05:12.380
where you put like magazines and stuff.

00:05:12.940 --> 00:05:13.940
There's a curtain.

00:05:13.940 --> 00:05:15.540
Above you is where the air-con is.

00:05:15.540 --> 00:05:16.780
There's also a Stop button.

00:05:16.780 --> 00:05:18.700
However, you don't actually
need to use that,

00:05:18.700 --> 00:05:20.700
because all the coaches on FlixBus

00:05:20.700 --> 00:05:23.660
stop at all the calling points anyways.

00:05:24.100 --> 00:05:25.540
And then, of course,
you've got the seat.

00:05:25.540 --> 00:05:28.100
You have got a seatbelt.
You do have to wear your seatbelt, of course.

00:05:28.900 --> 00:05:30.220
And you've got a headrest on here.

00:05:30.220 --> 00:05:32.820
The seat itself,
I think it's pretty comfy.

00:05:32.820 --> 00:05:34.940
You can also recline it,
if you so wish to,

00:05:34.940 --> 00:05:36.500
you know,
go a little bit backwards.

00:05:36.500 --> 00:05:38.140
But I'm good sitting upright.

00:05:38.620 --> 00:05:40.980
And at the very bottom,
you do have a footrest.

00:05:40.980 --> 00:05:42.460
(HAPPY MUSIC)

00:06:00.340 --> 00:06:01.860
It's raining, it's pouring,

00:06:01.860 --> 00:06:03.060
Lucy's nearly snoring.

00:06:03.980 --> 00:06:05.620
But no, yeah, it is actually

00:06:05.620 --> 00:06:07.380
proper raining out there
at the minute.

00:06:07.380 --> 00:06:09.180
And it's been like really sunny

00:06:09.180 --> 00:06:10.460
over the past few days as well.

00:06:10.460 --> 00:06:12.940
So...I'm definitely we're inside
on this coach.

00:06:12.940 --> 00:06:15.260
As opposed to waiting around
out in the rain.

00:06:15.260 --> 00:06:17.140
But anyways,
we have just passed over

00:06:17.140 --> 00:06:18.700
the West Coast Main Line, actually.

00:06:18.700 --> 00:06:20.980
And we are now making our way
through Stafford.

00:06:21.260 --> 00:06:23.460
Which is where the Knicker Monster lives.

00:06:23.740 --> 00:06:25.100
So I am on the lookout.

00:06:25.420 --> 00:06:27.260
LUCY: Pretty sure it won't be out.
It's not Halloween.

00:06:27.820 --> 00:06:29.660
G: It might be Halloween
by the time this vlog goes out!

00:06:29.660 --> 00:06:30.980
(HAPPY MUSIC)

00:06:33.620 --> 00:06:35.300
(BUS NOISE)

00:06:36.420 --> 00:06:38.260
(SLAPPING SOUND)
G AND LUCY: (LAUGH)

00:06:38.260 --> 00:06:40.460
(HAPPY MUSIC)

00:06:46.700 --> 00:06:49.780
G: We are on the approach
to our first stop now.

00:06:49.780 --> 00:06:53.020
Now this is the 030 route
we're travelling on,

00:06:53.020 --> 00:06:55.020
which goes from Glasgow...

00:06:55.580 --> 00:06:57.580
and it stops at Lancaster, Preston,

00:06:57.580 --> 00:06:59.900
and then Manchester,
which is obviously where we got on.

00:07:00.580 --> 00:07:02.820
We make two calling points en route

00:07:02.820 --> 00:07:05.540
at Birmingham and
London Finchley Road,

00:07:05.820 --> 00:07:09.020
before we reach the terminus
of London Victoria.

00:07:09.300 --> 00:07:11.860
Now the coach that we were
meant to get on this morning,

00:07:11.860 --> 00:07:14.500
that was on the 023 route,

00:07:14.980 --> 00:07:17.460
which runs from Manchester,
calls at the two stops,

00:07:17.660 --> 00:07:20.540
and then terminates
at London Victoria.

00:07:20.540 --> 00:07:22.660
(HAPPY MUSIC)

00:07:31.060 --> 00:07:32.420
DRIVER: 'Right, sorry about that.

00:07:32.420 --> 00:07:33.780
'We had an alarm keep going off

00:07:33.780 --> 00:07:35.300
'for the last hour and a half.'
(CHILD CHEERS)

00:07:35.300 --> 00:07:38.220
DRIVER: 'It turns out
it was the wheelchair door.

00:07:38.700 --> 00:07:41.260
'Apologies for the young lady
that her bag fell out.

00:07:41.900 --> 00:07:44.180
'But...but we did
pick everything up for you.'

00:07:44.180 --> 00:07:47.140
PASSENGER: You really did.
G: (LAUGHS)

00:07:47.380 --> 00:07:49.180
We are leaving Scaremingham now.

00:07:49.460 --> 00:07:51.340
A lot of people did actually get off.

00:07:51.740 --> 00:07:53.700
So I think it is
one of the more popular stops

00:07:53.700 --> 00:07:55.020
along this route.

00:07:55.020 --> 00:07:57.380
But also, a lot of people did get on.

00:07:57.620 --> 00:07:59.100
We were sitting there
for a little while,

00:07:59.100 --> 00:08:00.540
because there was a problem

00:08:00.540 --> 00:08:03.300
with an alarm going off
on the coach.

00:08:03.300 --> 00:08:05.940
And...that was finally sorted out.

00:08:05.940 --> 00:08:08.260
It was some problem
with the disabled door.

00:08:08.700 --> 00:08:10.940
But we are now running
about twenty minutes late.

00:08:10.940 --> 00:08:12.580
Hopefully, we will make up...

00:08:13.220 --> 00:08:15.900
that time back
on the way down to London.

00:08:16.180 --> 00:08:17.500
And do you know what?

00:08:17.500 --> 00:08:21.340
I actually have not felt sick
at all, so far.

00:08:21.340 --> 00:08:23.060
I'm actually really enjoying this ride.

00:08:23.060 --> 00:08:25.260
(HAPPY MUSIC)

00:08:39.940 --> 00:08:42.140
(LOUD BUS NOISE)
Okay, the toilet is very small.

00:08:42.300 --> 00:08:44.340
And it's very loud and rattly.

00:08:44.980 --> 00:08:48.020
But you're not even allowed
to flush toilet paper.

00:08:48.540 --> 00:08:49.860
I use a lot of toilet paper!
(LAUGHS)

00:08:49.860 --> 00:08:51.660
(HAPPY MUSIC)

00:09:00.660 --> 00:09:02.100
Well, I was about to say it was

00:09:02.100 --> 00:09:03.900
absolutely just chucking it down

00:09:03.900 --> 00:09:05.340
and you could barely see
out the windows.

00:09:05.340 --> 00:09:06.500
But it's gone a little lighter now.

00:09:06.500 --> 00:09:08.300
And I think
the rain's calming down a bit.

00:09:08.500 --> 00:09:09.940
(LAUGHS)
As for the coach,

00:09:09.940 --> 00:09:11.260
we are on...

00:09:11.260 --> 00:09:12.900
I'm not supposed
to call them units,

00:09:12.900 --> 00:09:14.420
I know, Lucy keeps
telling me off for it.

00:09:14.660 --> 00:09:17.060
But we're on 0643 and this is

00:09:17.060 --> 00:09:19.700
a Volvo 9700

00:09:20.180 --> 00:09:22.420
which is actually a newer model.
(CHILD SHOUTS)

00:09:22.420 --> 00:09:25.100
I have been informed
that it's only a year old.

00:09:25.340 --> 00:09:28.340
We have got thereabouts
around two hours left, so...

00:09:28.540 --> 00:09:30.700
I think we're gonna just get
the snacks back out.

00:09:30.700 --> 00:09:33.180
I've actually bought
a beetroot sandwich.

00:09:33.180 --> 00:09:35.460
I saw it in Co-op, I mean.
(LAUGHS)

00:09:35.820 --> 00:09:38.140
That sounds like something
I would invent, to be fair.

00:09:38.140 --> 00:09:39.780
So, let's give that a try.

00:09:39.780 --> 00:09:41.140
(HAPPY MUSIC)

00:09:42.860 --> 00:09:44.100
It does taste all right, to be fair.

00:09:44.100 --> 00:09:45.460
I do actually love beetroot.

00:09:45.660 --> 00:09:48.300
It's crunchy and pickly. Do you want a taste?
(CHILD SHOUTS)

00:09:52.260 --> 00:09:53.420
LUCY: It's actually quite nice!

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...

00:09:55.340 --> 00:09:57.180
(HAPPY MUSIC)

00:10:06.620 --> 00:10:09.420
G: Oh look, we're going by
a diversionary route.

00:10:09.420 --> 00:10:11.140
Ooh, there's some flowing water there.

00:10:12.580 --> 00:10:14.900
But basically,
there is a major delay

00:10:14.900 --> 00:10:16.340
on the M1 at the moment.

00:10:16.540 --> 00:10:18.700
So, the drivers are taking us

00:10:18.700 --> 00:10:20.260
around through Milton Keynes

00:10:20.260 --> 00:10:21.820
and tryna avoid that.

00:10:21.820 --> 00:10:23.740
It will mean we're

00:10:23.740 --> 00:10:25.500
a little more delayed
going into London.

00:10:25.500 --> 00:10:28.140
(BUS RATTLES)
But if we were to stay on the M1,

00:10:28.140 --> 00:10:31.060
we'd be an hour further delayed
getting into London.

00:10:31.340 --> 00:10:32.860
There's also
nowhere near as many

00:10:32.860 --> 00:10:35.940
as in actual Roundabout Central,
Chorley, but...

00:10:35.940 --> 00:10:37.940
there are quite a few roundabouts
we're going around

00:10:38.300 --> 00:10:40.580
at the minute in Milton Keynes.

00:10:40.820 --> 00:10:42.100
Do you know what?
It's probably gonna be dark

00:10:42.100 --> 00:10:43.700
by the time we get into London
at this rate!

00:10:43.700 --> 00:10:45.620
(HAPPY MUSIC)

00:10:57.980 --> 00:10:59.740
We have just left the motorway now

00:10:59.740 --> 00:11:01.740
and that is us done

00:11:01.740 --> 00:11:04.020
with motorways
for the rest of the ride.

00:11:04.780 --> 00:11:06.900
Should be coming into
near Finchley Road

00:11:06.900 --> 00:11:08.620
in about ten, fifteen minutes.

00:11:08.620 --> 00:11:10.340
(HAPPY MUSIC)

00:11:18.700 --> 00:11:20.380
We've pulled in
to Finchley Road now.

00:11:20.380 --> 00:11:23.140
And it honestly felt like
the whole coach just emptied.

00:11:23.140 --> 00:11:24.580
There are still a few people on.

00:11:25.140 --> 00:11:26.980
But Lucy has just told me,
actually, that...

00:11:27.300 --> 00:11:29.220
'Cause I was wondering,
"I wonder if anybody would

00:11:29.740 --> 00:11:31.740
"actually get on here
to go to Victoria?"

00:11:31.740 --> 00:11:33.460
But you're not allowed to...

00:11:33.460 --> 00:11:35.100
to book between those two stops.

00:11:35.380 --> 00:11:37.620
And also, there's an Aldi Local

00:11:37.940 --> 00:11:39.460
across the road from this stop.

00:11:39.460 --> 00:11:41.460
I've never in my life seen an Aldi Lo...

00:11:41.460 --> 00:11:42.940
What is an Aldi Local?

00:11:42.940 --> 00:11:44.180
(HAPPY MUSIC)

00:11:52.340 --> 00:11:54.380
(BACKGROUND CHATTER)
G: It will have been half an hour since

00:11:54.380 --> 00:11:56.060
we left Finchley Road,
by the time

00:11:56.060 --> 00:11:58.820
we do pull very shortly
into Victoria.

00:11:58.820 --> 00:12:00.780
As for the light late evenings...

00:12:00.780 --> 00:12:02.180
it certainly is going dark now.

00:12:02.180 --> 00:12:04.100
Hence why they did put the lights on

00:12:04.340 --> 00:12:05.420
a little while back.

00:12:05.420 --> 00:12:07.340
And do you know what?
I'm so relaxed right now.

00:12:07.340 --> 00:12:08.620
I mean I could do with

00:12:08.620 --> 00:12:10.500
stretching my legs a little bit,
not gonna lie.

00:12:10.900 --> 00:12:13.300
But...yeah, I kinda don't wanna
get off here, really!

00:12:13.300 --> 00:12:14.500
Could actually fall asleep.

00:12:14.500 --> 00:12:15.940
I was initially tempted

00:12:15.940 --> 00:12:18.060
to do the night coach
down to London.

00:12:18.060 --> 00:12:19.580
But...in the end,

00:12:19.580 --> 00:12:21.260
it just turned out
handier for us

00:12:21.620 --> 00:12:22.740
to get the day one down.

00:12:22.740 --> 00:12:24.140
(HAPPY MUSIC)

00:12:35.020 --> 00:12:36.420
All right, we're off the coach now.

00:12:36.420 --> 00:12:37.740
We've just picked up our suitcase.

00:12:37.740 --> 00:12:40.340
We were supposed to arrive
at ten past nine,

00:12:40.340 --> 00:12:43.380
but we were about
twenty minutes delayed, to be fair.

00:12:43.380 --> 00:12:45.060
I thought it was gonna be
a little bit later.

00:12:45.660 --> 00:12:47.540
But yeah, we're here at half nine.

00:12:47.540 --> 00:12:48.940
And I have been forewarned

00:12:49.140 --> 00:12:51.380
that Victoria Coach Station
(LUGGAGE WHEELS RATTLE)

00:12:51.380 --> 00:12:53.500
is absolutely humungous.

00:12:53.740 --> 00:12:56.220
Apparently, it's split
into several buildings.

00:12:56.420 --> 00:12:58.820
We've just come out of
the arrivals building.

00:12:59.060 --> 00:13:01.180
It is only like
a five, ten minute walk

00:13:01.420 --> 00:13:03.020
to Victoria railway station.

00:13:03.020 --> 00:13:04.260
(HAPPY MUSIC)

00:13:05.460 --> 00:13:07.100
(MUSIC ENDS)

00:13:07.100 --> 00:13:07.940
(TRAFFIC NOISE)

00:13:07.940 --> 00:13:09.740
G: Well, I have really enjoyed that.

00:13:09.740 --> 00:13:11.820
What an experience
riding FlixBus

00:13:11.820 --> 00:13:13.180
for the first time.

00:13:13.740 --> 00:13:15.980
Even with the...
kid in front of us

00:13:16.180 --> 00:13:18.380
pretending to be half-duck
the whole way,

00:13:18.380 --> 00:13:19.820
throwing cake at my shoes!
(LAUGHS)

00:13:19.980 --> 00:13:21.420
But anyways, I tell you what,

00:13:21.420 --> 00:13:24.100
I didn't get a single bit
of travel sickness

00:13:24.100 --> 00:13:25.940
the whole way down just then.
I mean,

00:13:25.940 --> 00:13:28.580
I don't think I've ever had that
on a coach before.

00:13:28.580 --> 00:13:30.260
I think the newer modern seats

00:13:30.260 --> 00:13:31.820
really did help with that as well.

00:13:31.820 --> 00:13:34.220
And I have been left wondering,
actually like,

00:13:34.380 --> 00:13:35.820
what happens if you need a poo?

00:13:36.020 --> 00:13:38.300
Because you literally had to
put the toilet paper

00:13:38.500 --> 00:13:40.980
in an open bin
at the side of the toilet.

00:13:41.260 --> 00:13:43.380
Anyways, let's leave that one
to imagination.

00:13:43.660 --> 00:13:45.300
Thank you very much
for watching, everyone!

00:13:45.580 --> 00:13:47.060
Byesie byes!
