Video summary

Press to jump

0:19Chris and Connor meet at London's Euston Station for the overnight journey to Edinburgh.
3:30They test the compact cabin's bunk beds, fold-out sink and table.
5:08Connor tries the en-suite shower, sending water across the cabin floor.
12:15A Scottish breakfast in the dining car precedes their arrival in Edinburgh.
16:02On the drive toward Ayr, Connor reads from the signed book Chris gives him.
18:45The pair arrive at ruined Dalquharran Castle and prepare to explore its grounds and basement.

Can Connor get a comfortable night's sleep on Chris Broad's British itinerary? The bedding offers some hope. The shower, spraying water across the cabin floor and later delivering a cold, weak stream, is less cooperative.

Abroad in Japan's only upload this week, "I Survived Britain's Cheapest Sleeper Train | Ft. @CDawgVA", has passed a million views. It brings Wacky Weekend to the Caledonian Sleeper, with Chris and Connor Colquhoun testing the bunks, fold-out fittings and lounge car on the journey from London to Edinburgh. Connor's verdict while trying to squeeze inside is brief: "Chris, I can't get in."

The cramped compartment is only the opening accommodation. After a Scottish breakfast, the trip heads toward Ayr and the ruined Dalquharran Castle. Along the drive, Chris hands Connor a signed copy of Journey Across Japan, prompting an impromptu reading rather than a break from their usual back-and-forth.

In the comments, viewers keep returning to Connor's elusive luxury-train outing, joking that these less glamorous journeys are becoming a substitute. Others pick out the pair's Scottish accents or request an audiobook with Connor interrupting Chris's stories.

The new trip is comfortably the channel's busiest video right now. Older journeys retain a smaller current of viewing, including the Japanese town presented as frozen in the 1980s, with Natsuki and Pete Donaldson, and Chris and Connor's Wakayama road adventure.

Subscribers stayed level over the week, while daily views are running above their usual level. Among nearby travel channels, Simon Wilson is having a particularly busy week; Kara and Nate's daily viewing is quieter than usual. Abroad in Japan collected roughly 1.4 million views across the week, with its new British bunk-bed experiment supplying most of that total.
