In this video, you get to virtually experience England’s most luxurious train ride with the help of Trek Trendy, a YouTube channel that reviews luxury travel and unique worldwide destinations. The video starts with a short introduction about what will be covered. The narrator explains he will cover the best seats on board, a private first-class compartment, free champagne, and five-course Michelin star dining. This is an 11-car private train that feels like a step right into the 1920s. He starts off in London’s historic Victoria station, where he ventures off to the correct platform to ensure he’s taking the right train. There is a nice lounge at the station where he waits in anticipation of his journey. He explains this train has a lot of history, having carried the queen and having been part of Winston Churchill’s funeral procession. He hops into the Zena carriage, which was built in 1928. Today, it serves as a first-class transfer car. As he gets settled in, he introduces his girlfriend, Millie, and shows a shot of her enjoying a cup of tea in the luxurious setting as she looks out the window and prepares for departure. He goes on to give a full room tour, explaining the practices of the train, along with providing some guidance on some of the train’s functionality. For example, he shows off the door that elevates privacy but explains it’s not a practical feature during the lunch service. He goes on to show off the intricate polished woodwork, never failing to appreciate all the attention to detail that makes this train the most luxurious in England. After the room tour, he moves on to share the dinner offerings on the train—noting it’s quite a feat to cook such feasts in such a space. When they reach the halfway point, they explore the seaside with drinks in hand. They feature an impromptu live jazz performance and then have to make haste to get back to their carriage before it departs again. He goes on to explore other carriages and classes and discusses the price point for each different compartment. The final bits of the video document their trip back to London, showing how sometimes even the most elegant train ride gets a bit bumpy!
