Impressions of Belfast

Northern Ireland Railways Belfast to Bangor.A short but nice trip from Belfast with some nice views.The trains are nice for commuter trains.
Stena ferry Liverpool to Belfast in a 4 Berth outside cabin.I think this is the best way to Northern Ireland as the ship has high-quality interiors including a comfy bed and a big sky light in the bar and the breakfast was also great.
Avanti Evero from London to Liverpool in Standard Premium.I like these trains as they are an improvement over other class 800s as the interiors are better
On the way home on the pride train
Impressions of Newcastle
LNER Azuma Aberdeen to Newcastle in 1st class.A great journey with amazing food and great scenery. Some people hate these trains, but I find them to be ok as I find the 1st class seats comfortable and the ride ok.
On the way back to Aberdeen and I got an executive twin cabin.Unfortunately, it was so rough that I couldn't do much.
The Shetland Isles are such a beautiful place.It rained most of the day I visited but I will come back again at some point and hopefully the weather will be better and I can stay for longer
Northlink Aberdeen to Lerwick in an outside twin cabin.A great journey to the Shetland Isles in a nice cabin with a comfy bed and hot shower.The restaurant has great food and reasonable prices. This sailing was smooth and the views coming into Shetland were great.
