Russia's Most Luxurious Train: The KRASNAYA STRELA Andrew: Your comments about the bugged hotel reminded me of Sebastian Coe's story about the Moscow Olympics in 1980. Arriving with his room mates in their apartment in the Olympic village, they all figured the room had to be bugged, and tore it apart looking for suspicious devices. They found nothing and finally the one thing they hadn't yet looked at was the TV. So, concluding that's where the bug must be, they pulled the TV to pieces, and only when every component of the TV was strewn all across the floor, they concluded, Okay. We were wrong. There are no bugs in this room.
Then the phone rang. It was the receptionist who asked, very politely and in perfect English, Would you like an engineer to put your television back together?

I've been on a travel video binge these days and I find that I keep coming back here because your videos put me in any seat you sit in.
I just mean you're a real kind of guy who gets excited by these beautiful places just as I would.
Other videos have so much of the vlogger staring off into the distance while sipping a cappuccino. The critiques sre are mainly food and aesthetics. Boring.
At least here you get a little history and anecdotes, a little aviation education and you show the good and bad of every aspect of your trips.
It's extremely well done, kudos to you!

39: 50 had me cackling in my room at a busy hotel XD
I'm watching this through the lens of mid-2022, and frantically learning what I can about eastern European geopolitics, little as that may be. I can only hope for a future where this train service is a realistic bucket list item for me, and for anyone else who's thinking about it.

That hotel in Moscow was insane! I loved the bathroom or the Loo as you call it. HA! That is so cool that you took a train to St. Petersberg. :) How posh are you! Amazing. I love to people watch. I could sit for hours and just watch people go by. That looks like a wonderful spot to do so at a train station!

You can tell that u didnt drink all that vodka if any at all and when u took the he shots it. Was like u gulped water. anyone taking suck a big gulp of vodka would have a different reaction after swallowing it. and youre the exact same from before ALL the vodka lol

Fun fact, caviar in soviet times was a staple food, it's only when it became a western fascination that it became a luxury.
Obviously there were always slightly more expensive kinds, in the same way there are cheap and expensive milk or bread.

Great video. I'm in. What did it cost? I missed it if you said, too much vodka. lol
Good bang for the buck. The hotel alone was fantastic. Bet there was no travel points. lol
Thank you. Good work comrade.

Hi Noel. Very informative video. Thamks for that. Im interested in the imperial romonov train. Does it still exist today? Or was it destroyed? Now that was a luxurious train,

Plot twist: this actually an apartment he got for the small apartment challenge.
BTW, the cost of that trip is insanely reasonable for the level of service you get.

When I first started working in the sleepers on Amtrak I avoided shaving but I got pretty adept at it over the years. Nice digs. That breakfast is huge.
reply

Loving the gold and maroon exterior on your train. BTW So glad you train travel as well
LMAO
Get rest, I'd have called the lad in to do it for me

As an Indian I still prefer travelling in Rajdhani Express Air Condition First Class any day. No food only wine and Liquor. PUTIN DRINKS ONLY LIQUOR

Pretty posh. How much is this hotel per night? I stayed in Hilton Leningradskaya in one of those famous Stalin skyscrapers but this one is amazing!
reply

The train did not provide you with an ivory spoon for the caviar? Thats why it didnt taste good. Caviar reacts to metal and makes it taste horrible
reply

The part at the beginning in the hotel LOL, Margaret Thatcher has sat on this toilet. actually that's not a thought I want going through my head xD
reply

I'm sure you were suppose to have the salmon etc with the pancakes. Like a filling. HaHaHaHa. Seems like an amazing trip dude. Well done.
reply

You royally got screwed on the caviar because it's supposed to come with a bunch of other stuff to make it more palatable
reply

I love those worthless People/Tourists who run to the KFC in every City and then talk about Culture in those Countries
reply

I bet you won't travel on any Russki bs train now you probably be arrested as your fellow spy baldy/ben.
