Many thanks for making the video and posting it , it was very interesting

Point to Point or Pointless journey Pets Wood to Abby Wood. Just an idea for you Nick.

Hi, Nick. 0:46 2:08 2:15 5:31 7:00 7:09 7:49 7:59 9:24 9:42 10:01 Super-shaking shots are not recommended. They give me headache.

Next time, I’d probably start at London Bridge as you have much greater scope for travel.

fun idea: when you spin the wheel, screen record it, and then put it on screen so we can see it without all the reflections, and with the phone just for fun

would be cool if you included the tube, but interchange stations only

If you want to ensure you get to all parts of London you’d have to allow for tube travel because the only cross river connecting services are Overground or the hourly Southern service from East Croydon to Watford Junction. But you can randomise it by uploading the London termini and once you reach one of them, randomly choose which one your next journey on national rail begins from.

A random zone 1 to 6 only on the Elizabeth lines, seeing how many stations you can visit in 3 or 4 hours

Why not make one using ChatGPT or something?

What is the software you use to work out where you are going next?

Hello Nick! Just used a UK train for the first time yesterday! (And funnily enough got a GWR before this video) Got overbooked on the first train lol

No satisfying networker sounds :(

P.S. The Overground is part of TfL.

What was all that about Nick? I didn't get it.

Nick you could do random generated Trams in London that would be interesting.

Any individuality that stations may have had was lost during the early 1980s, Nick, when British Rail demolished just about every station building that ever was, other than at major terminals... While many were already semi-derelict, not a few still used their original ticket offices and windows, and had cheery, coal-fired waiting rooms to help raise your spirits as you as you arrived on cold winter mornings; and of course, everywhere had ladies and gents toilets available - including many stations on the Underground, in fact. What's more, many sported running in boards and totem signs in the relvant shades of the 1923 Groupings, while the busier ones had newspaper stalls and there were even a few station or sometimes, platform buffets! Alas, somebody seemed to have convinced them round about 1981 that we'd all prefer to give up all these facilities and stand like sardines in freeezing, basic glass and aluminium-sided bus shelters instead - or indeed outside if you arrived after it was full. If you needed the toilet - tough; and all signage was exchanged for the standard plain-white background with black-lettering corporate image that BR used at that time....

Maybe starting at a Thameslink station would have given more variance?

The platforms are letters to avoid confusion with Waterloo..

Probably the moat obvious type of randomised journey would be to combine tube and national rail, as well as tube, dlr, elizabeth line, overground and tram (probably not cable car, as that shouldnt be on the tube map). You could also do a system where the number of stops is identified before deciding a service, so services with a greater number of stops have a more likey chance of being chosen, thus preventing double backs into london terminals

Video ideas: 1 visit the Cambridge guided busway by train and get the bus B from Cambridge north towards hinchinbrook and get off in Huntington as the busway is really interesting. Second idea do a randomly generated journey of east anglia!

05:29 Waterloo. Couldn't escape it if you wanted to.

Amazing, fun, lovely video as always you two

The seating in the 707 is a declassified area. Glad to see you took advantage of that.

hi nick, since you spent the travelcard in the south of London, maybe you should do it again do it in ths north like on the ECML, WCML and MML as we had none of those operators

Have you done the three Victoria's yet, Southend to Manchester via London. If not it would make an interesting challenge if you tried to do it without using the underground.

Could maybe try this on southeastern starting at Gravesend heading towards thenKent coast or Paddock wood and trying to get to the other line so if it sends you towards Ramsgate or Dover you have to find a way to Paddock wood before getting back to Gravesend or London

I thought of doing a TfL random journey in London but now I different plans now I will add lines into my journey

Maybe a platform roulette kinda thing might be fun

Another interesting quirky trip. Day Rover/Ranger tickets in Manchester/Leeds/Birmingham could be a possibility depending on service frequency though.

Thanks Nick. I've had the same problem with staff not knowing how to issue a 2 or 3 zone version of the rover as you and others have had reading the comments. I've ended up stumping up the full £42 for an all zone ticket before. Whilst waiting for a train at Chester earlier this year, I asked how to get a 2 or 3 zone version and there is a written procedure on how to issue such tickets at the ticket office. Using the STAR ticketing system, choose anywhere to anywhere option, then enter the starting station in one of the zones and then the destination as a coded zone(s). The destination codes are: Zone A=J433, Zone C=J435, Zone D=J436, Zone F=J437, Zone G=J434, Zone M=J438, Zone W=J439. The zones correspond with the zones of the rover. For example, if you wanted a 2 zone rover to cover between Chester (zone W) and the Borderlands line (zone F), then it would Chester to J437.

Aah, New Eltham, takes me back. Within walking distance of one of the Greenwich university campuses, made the walk many a time to see my partner

fun fact syon lane station is the station u get off at if u work at sky studios (the pay tv company)

What if you disallowed using the same line / ToC / station?

This video kind of appeared as a suggestion for me and I clicked. Two of the most geeky people, clearly made for each other, took me on the most random journey for nearly 15 minutes and my tea went cold. Am I secret nerd? Should I be worried? Do I subscribe? Should I call my GP even? So many questions that need answers. I'll just watch a few more of their videos while I think about it all. Maybe you should too and use whatever excuse you like if you get caught 🙂

It occurs to me there's an all the platform As trip you need to do.

Next time you do this challenge, if you're at a terminus station in central London, make any Nation Rail station you can reach with one tube line a possibility.

Hey nick 4:58 do you know what 37 was on the dbso?

Just as I leave Clapham junction you appear, I wish I would’ve stayed longer

possibly start at K+ or StP as there are trains going NSEW from these....

Nick could U do this in Merseyside Liverpool

Brilliant video Nick, it's good you were both able to escape South West London. Shame you didn't get to North London though lol.

Great Video! I recommend starting at a place like London Paddington, (to not get stuck on SWR)

randon journey around kent

Syon lane usually gets 3 trains an hour in each direction so if you had to wait 1 hour for a train at that station it might be because of delays or the fact that your filming on a Sunday, im not a local to Syon lane but i do come there alot anyway nice video 👍👍👍👍

Point to point video: West Midlands using N Network starting at Birmingham New Street and using the random generator

Hi Nick! Nice video! By the way, did you ho to the Taylor Swift Eras Tour?

Been to Vauxhall and stayed at the Travelodge there. It was also our starting point when we went to join the mad crowd (which included a brief chat with Jen On The Move) for the Bond Street Elizabeth Line opening - we went via the back way and became the first passengers through onto the platform! That Travelodge was also where I first watched one of Nick's videos - again on the Bond Street opening.

brilliant vlog

Only SWR at Vauxhall? What about the Victoria Line?

I love this video its awsome keep it cup on these awesome video
