Thanks. Very enthralling journey. What can I say. I did the journey to Lisbon, as a non flyer, several times on the Sud Express fifty years ago. Great fun but much more hit and miss in those days. Long before the tunnel. Brighton to Newhaven. The Paris to Hendaye/Irun. Then the Sud Express to Lisbon. Quite an experience. To get to the Algarve one had to cross the river by boat. Well done.

Wow, that sounds very nice!

58:02 it just connects with another line (Linha do Alentejo) to the city of Ourique, used to connect all the way to Beja

Just found your channel and absolutely love it. Really simple approach and you show the view out the window which is great. Thanks for sharing and I wish you all the success with it. Good luck and I will keep following you from the armchair.

Funny how the second you set foot in Spain, the ambient noise went up! 😁 Good video!

@seekingtravel День назад

Haha, didn't even notice (at first) :D - I love the noise though.

Sorry you did not know about the train from Badajoz to Entroncamento in Portugal ...

@seekingtravel 4 месяца назад

I did. But either it wasn't running in Oct 2023 or it wasn't fitting the schedule well. I honestly don't remember. The trip was already planned well in advance, by June 2023 I think I already purchased all tickets.

I did a similar trip in 2015. Plymouth to Lisbon and then on to Porto.. 1. Sleeper from Plymouth. 2. Eurostar to Paris. 3. Paris to Irun then crossed the platform and took the Train hotel to Lisbon. Left Plymouth at midnight and arrived in Lisbon 31 hrs later at 07.00. An excellant trip.

@seekingtravel 4 месяца назад

I always wanted to take the Tren Hotel :D Sadly it was discontinued before I ever arrived in Spain for the first time...

@michaelhegarty4475 4 месяца назад

We did that trip in reverse due to health issues from faro taxi to ( Seville to Madrid to Barcelona to a lovely place figueres Spain then to Paris , euro tunnel and finally Sheffield all trains ) and the Spanish and French trains are very impressive

@seekingtravel 4 месяца назад

Sorry to hear that. Hopefully nothing too serious

sorry you had to experience the sorrow state of what our government calls "trains" and "train stations" or "train lines". Quality evidently got worse crossing into Portugal. All the money was spent making pristine underused highways going everywhere. Thankfully your experience here will get much better next year: the Madrid-Lisbon connection is almost operational, with new high-speed lines between Plasencia and Évora. Between Madrid-Plasencia, and Évora-Lisbon the already existing lines run at 200km/h. This means by 2025 we should have a Madrid-Lisbon service up and running with a duration of 5h duration (switching trains in Évora until the new Évora-Lisbon line is built because of signalling system discrepancies.

To give Portugal credit. The dining car in the Portugese IC from Faro to Lisbon is definitely the coolest one i've ever been in and probably the most comfy in Europe.

@PAULOSOUSADIAS 4 месяца назад

Not sure about the dryer, but the water works by stepping on a button on the floor. Did you try that?

@seekingtravel 4 месяца назад

I actually didn't :D - Oh well...

@Michael-il8ls 4 месяца назад

they should make direct trains from paris or wien to all european capitals

@seekingtravel 4 месяца назад

And maybe Frankfurt as well. Agreed.

Interesting video. It's CET, not ECT when the UK is on GMT. It becomes CEST when the UK is on BST. Portugal is sometimes classified as being on WET in the Winter and WEST in the Summer.

@seekingtravel 4 месяца назад

Oups. Yep, my bad there. I did write GMT eventually but while in UK I wanted to be specific.

@jameslindelofpriest7361 4 месяца назад

For more comfort consider an Interrail 1st class .... on Eurostar you can sit in Standard Premier and be served a meal and drinks in the price of the ticket....did you consider London - to Lille and changing in Lille to a TGV for the south of France thus skipping Paris...it can workout well...otherwise a fine video.

@seekingtravel 4 месяца назад

Yep. I considered it all. But I wanted a video out of Eurostar as well, I will release a full London to Paris video on Eurostar with more footage and more info soon, and I didn't want to miss out on that. It is definitely in my plan to use an Interrail First Class sometime in the future :) I do have to raise a bit more money.

36:46 Why did you take metro line 9 to get to Sants from the north station? I am just curious, I am from Barcelona and I usually get the line 5 (also the line 3) to go to sants, even the commuter train in the nearest station of north statin "arc de triomf" takes you to Sants directly

@seekingtravel 3 месяца назад

I went to visit a friend in Barcelona. :)
