  • A bit of Christmas fun: how many different classes of train can I ride in 3 hours? Bonus points for different families! Apologies, but I think the graphic design in this video might be my worst yet...

    Walking from Marylebone to Baker Street when you meant to go to Edgware Road? You didn't overshoot you walked the complete wrong direction

      Yes, that’s sort of what I meant.

    In this video, you mentioned the seats on the class 700s not being to bad, which is clear evidence why to rank the passenger comfort on the ranking video a 3 and not 1.

    Did something like this in Tokyo and although I was more travelling to ride certain lines/trains, I ended up with 13 individual train types by the end of about 5 hours

      When I was in Tokyo in 07, I had figured out how to ride 12 of the 13 subway lines without ever going more than one stop. Thought I could do it in an hour but it took 1.5 hours. Set a personal record that day by riding 37 trains altogether.

      @@saulschlapik6818 fucking hell that's mad. I prioritised riding new trains, hence quite long stubs in my journey, especially to places like Noborito and a 30+ min wait for the new Fukutoshin and Hanzomon line trains, but knowing there's potential for 37 and with new recent links to the sotetsu lines, I think I might have to retry...

    It does surprise me how comfortable other train seats can be, back in September I went from Derby to Matlock and my god, the seats were great, I forget which class it was, but it was way better than the Class 800s.

    • @GWVillager
      @GWVillager  7 месяцев назад

      That will probably have been an EMR Class 158, which have the IC3000 seats. They're widely regarded to be some of the most comfortable around.

  • @saulschlapik6818
    @saulschlapik6818 7 месяцев назад

    I like to ride as many trains as possible in one hour, regardless of type, so it's mainly Subway/Metro/Tube. My record is 12 in Paris. I've also done 10 in an hour in London, New York & Shanghai (58 min).

    When you arrive at a station and there's a crowd of people and a robo-announcement going "listen for further announcements" it's never an encouraging sign 🥴

    From Waterloo you could have gone straight to Wimbledon and jumped on a tram as well. Two families in fact Bombardier and Siemens. Then East Croydon and the full range of Southern EMUs and DMUs.

      There would be no point - I'd already been on deep level trains so it wouldn't be a new family.

  • @AndreiTupolev
    @AndreiTupolev 7 месяцев назад

    Why count all Tube trains as one family tho? By getting the Bakerloo line from Marylebone you'd have saved a lot of running about and ticked off another type of stock

    • @GWVillager
      @GWVillager  7 месяцев назад

      As I said in the video, it would have made the Tube far too overpowered, and the video would just be riding around on the Underground all day.

      The news story with Sunak was an example of a negative development this year - but on reflection it was probably unnecessarily political.
