Not only did you prove the futility of this journey at the start by needing to go through the low level platform to get to the high level, but you proved it a second time at the end by getting off at the Southbound side of the low level, which you can only exit by going through the high level.
As someone who grew up in Tamworth, I'm happy to see my hometown featured! You also got to experience the single best thing about Tamworth - being able to leave that godforsaken town!
06:51 Hi Nick! LOL another great Pointless Journey but even Tamworth itself can be a maze but not as bad a Smethwick Galton Bridge. Also Avanti West Coast do stop at Tamworth as well but not as much. However once Avanti get a good kick up the backside there should hopefully be a hourly Liverpool to London service stopping here.
I was in Tamworth station last night, just after sunset. Couldn't bear the thought of a one hour wait for my next train, so I decamped to Wetherspoons.
For anyone wondering, Nick goes on a pointless journey. Epic video as always Nick! You never fail to impress! There's some interesting stations in the video, and nice to see a glimpse of the Centro 323!
I lived in Tamworth for the last 28 years. Quickest way from High level to low level would be to change at B New Street and get the train to Lichfield Trent Valley and then get the train to Tamworth Low Level. Another pointless journey is a return to Polesworth. 😁
The Hawthorns really comes into it's own on match days. I was also their last year for the Commonwealth Games and it's size came in handy. I wish more corridor ended 172's had been built for other franchises. Chiltern and GWR branches spring to mind. Why the NO for a 350/2? I'm a big fan of the Desiro EMU.
Hi Nick I guess you know but close to where I live ish is Shotton. They have a upper and lower section. Be interested to see around that area. Love your videos. I live in Wrexham. Keep up the great content.
Tamworth station that has both high level and low level platforms could of been renamed as “Tamworth Interchange” or “Tamworth Junction”. Still keep up with the amazing work Nick. 😊
I once did this journey, but not by choice. I was trying to get to Euston. Trained got cabcelled at BNS and the only way south was to go back to Tamworth and get a CrossCoubtry to Reading. What a faff.
Only just been shown your channel by the algorithm gods today. Glad to see my area on the channel. Curious: did you get a Network Daytripper to cover all these journeys plus a return from Tamworth? (Covers all West Midlands county buses, trains & trams)? Or a Plus Bus add on to a Tamworth - Birmingham New St return ticket? Or just individual tickets? Went to Tamworth from Brum for a pub crawl a few months ago, but by Arriva bus 110 in the end cos it was £2 government cap single each way vs about a tenner return on the train. Plus met some friends on the bus in Erdington snd Sutton Coldfield.
love your videos man. if youre ever up north, a good pointless journey would be something like platforms 1-5 at leeds to platforms 15-17 (higher/lower level i guess!)
So jealous of all these interconnections and how you can just show up and know that another train will be along soon (30 minutes was your longest wait!). We have a decent network on the island of Montreal with buses and metro, but the commuter trains are nowhere near as good as yours, and off-island? Forget it; super-low frequency buses, and that's about all you get except for a few commuter trains.
to be honest, I don't know Birmingham well enough to have come up with that convoluted a route for this journey... I'd have just done Tamworth- New Street- Rugby- Tamworth (or maybe swapped Rugby for Coventry and Nuneaton)
I used to have to get the train to the Hawthorns daily and can confirm, there is never anyone there. I think I encountered one, maybe two people at the station per week at peak hours
If you are back in London, I wonder about the (much lost high level/ low level lost names, eg Willesden Junction , and Stratford come to mind. But other good journeys must include Catford/Catford Bridge and maybe each end of the Emirates AirLine crossing from nearest station/s).
You should have gone via Lichfield. Tamworth to B'ham NS, to Lichfield TV, to Tamworth. [One of my local towns, Tamworth. The other ones are Lichfield, Rugeley, Burton, Sutton Coldfield].
A really good pointless journey you could do is Birmingham New Street - Birmingham Moor Street. A way to do this is to get a West Midlands Railway 350 service for Wolverhampton and get off at Smethwick Galton Bridge, then catch a 172 bound for Stratford, Dorridge or Whitlocks End and get off at Moor Street! Would love to see you do this!
Could Birmingham New Street To Birmingham Snow Hill Via Moor Street train from Birmingham to Banbury, Banbury to Moor Street Chiltern, WMR Moor Street to Snow Hill
That is actually pretty easy if you use the low-level platforms. Just change at Partick. High level to high level would be a bit more pointless: Central - Newton - Motherwell - Greenfaulds - Queen Street, or go via Edinburgh.
Falkirk has Falkirk High and Falkirk Grahamston (High and Low Stations) , both on different lines. One for another trip when you head north of the border
Up my neck of the woods try Newark and Retford. Retford is the funniest one as it's literally minutes to walk between the high level and low level platforms but hours by train. Newark has 2 stations perhaps 10 minutes on foot but got to be several hours by train. This video has to be the craziest one I have seen to date. Did you have to buy a ticket from Tamworth to Tamworth? Funny how you went to new street then back to new street - 2 pointless journeys in one.
Already done Retford as another episode! Newark is on my list of potential future ones! And no, I couldn't buy a single ticket, I split it up into singles that would need to get to each place whilst still having valid tickets.
If your journey is essentially platform to platform, you should do the journey without changing platforms at any of the intermediate stations. Maybe crossing from one side of a platform to the other is ok. You should avoid interchanges that are further than the distance between the original start and end points.
Seems like poor signage, don't think you need to go outside Walsall station to swap platforms? Yeah Smethwick Galton Bridge really is a maze. And could do with more and/or bigger lifts, so many stairs.
It irritates the hell out of me that LNR/WMT run refurbished 350s on the commuter route between Birmingham and Rugeley - but then the awful 3+2 configuration 350/2 on the long-distance Crewe - London route!
Have ypu done Retford they have one on ECML then low level, Also Wakefield Westgate and kirkgate, thwn Bradford Interchange and Bradford forster square
the smart alec in me will be saying this.... Easier trip... Tamworth to Bham, Bham - Nuneaton... Nuneaton - Tamworth... but ya know... Next time your in the area gives us a heads up! always love meeting rail fans!
These are pointless journeys, but frustratingly could have useful purpose because they are showing the extents you might have to go if the lifts are out of order and you require step free access (obviously not in this one as Rugeley Trent Valley was used)
This is brilliant. I've done Glasgow Queen Street Low Level to Glasgow Central Low Level, which isn't quite as pointless but probably is not too far off
@Nick Badley you could do a pointless journey video in The Netherlands from or Duivendrecht high level (where trains to Utrecht Centraal via Breukelen,Uitgeest and Rotterdam Centraal depart and the Amsterdam metrolines 54 and 50 to Gein and Isolatorweg(nearby sloterdijk) and Amsterdam Centraal depart and from the low level platforms the sprinter trains to Hoofddorp, Utrecht Centraal via Hilversum, Almere Centrum and Almere Oostvaarders and the Intercity trains to Enschede, Amersfoort Schothorst and Lelystad Centrum depart or from Amsterdam Sloterdijk low level platforms (where the sprinter trains to Uitgeest, Rotterdam Centraal, Hoorn,Zandvoort aan Zee ,Amsterdam Centraal and Driebergen Zeist(in rush hours) departs and the Intercity trains to Alkmaar, Den Helder,Nijmegen,Maastricht, Den Haag Centraal (rush hour) , Enkhuizen , Vlissingen, Heerlen and Amsterdam Centraal depart to Amsterdam Sloterdijk High level platforms where the sprinter trains to Zwolle,Hoofddorp (on Monday until Friday until 20:00 further to Den Haag Centraal) ,Amersfoort Vathorst ,Hoorn Kersenboogerd(also only from Monday to Friday until 20:00 further to Den Haag Centraal) and next to the highlevel platforms to Schiphol Airport and Amsterdam Centraal are departing the Amsterdam metrolines 50 from Isolatorweg to Gein and 51 from Isolatorweg to Amsterdam Centraal
Do Wigan North Western to Wigan Wallgate! Maybe Wallgate to Kirkby, Kirkby to Liverpool Central, Central to Lime Street, Lime Street to Wigan North Western
Euston to King's Cross via Edinburgh. Or Euston to King's Cross, only using First Class, and only a single change of trains. No declassified tickets allowed. Don't think there has been a comparisom video of the above!
Next should be Lichfield Trent Valley low to high! LTV to Rugeley TV, Rugeley TV to Birmingham New Street (via my hometown - again!), then New Street to Lichfield TV via West Midlands Rail. If you were feeling really up for it, you could go LTV to EUS, then EUS to New Street then the local service to Lichfield!
If I were doing this, I'd probably have gone via Nottingham or Derby as some other commenters have said... But my main question is: how the hell did you ticket this? I know for a fact that the CoC/RG precludes Tamworth HL to Tamworth LL as a route and you certainly seemed to be flying by the seat of your pants this entire time :P
You should've got on the 323 at Birmingham along the cross city line to Lichfield, then one stop on the WCML. I appreciate it's a more boring route, but it's a chance to ride the 323s before they all disappear up north.
Another route you could have done is Tamworth to Birmingham on the high level, then Birmingham to Lichfield Trent Valley, then Lichfield Trent Valley to Tamworth. You would have passed through LTV anyway from RTV.
The Hawthorns would be quiet on a Weekday or Weekend sometimes as there isn't really anything that way there is a few house's down Halfords Lane but they could walk to Smethwick Galton Bridge at the end of Halfords Lane walk the other way and get the every 5 minutes 74 to Birmingham or Drive and use the A41, A457 or the M5 that is at the end of Halfords Lane then take a left that merges onto the M6. But on a Matchday when the A41 and M5 are screwed it is rammed. The Tram is used most often as Away fans get it to get New Street, they may use the Train to but they would have to walk across Brum alright going there for Pre Match Drinks, Albion fans use it to. The Albion fans would mostly use the Trains to Kidderminster, Worcester and Stourbridge where a lot of them live. The tram might be used as far as Wednesday the outer edges of Sandwell and West Brom fan area or West Bromwich Central for Pubs and so, Where they could get the bus to places like Tipton or alight the train at SGB, Great Bridge and Dudley. After Wednesbury unless we are playing Wolves it is empty of Footie Fans mostly. Also interesting idea Pointless Journey from Birmingham Moor Street to Birmingham Snow Hill via New Street, cavat is you can't use the direct train from Moor Street to Snow Hill. So you could do Moor Street to Leamington Spa or Banbury, CrossCountry back to Birmingham New Street, then you could get the Tram as far as the Hawthorns or West Birmingham Central to get a bus to Snow Hill, the Tram takes you to St Chads outside Snow Hill, the bus I think stops outside

I love how you did two pointless journeys in this one. The main one, Tamworth to Tamworth and also Birmingham New Street to Birmingham New Street!
U mean to Moor St?
@@georgedowns4034 no. I mean New Street to New Street. He went from Tamworth-New Street-Hawthorns-Smethwick-New Street-Walsall-Tamworth
@@lonmar0612 oh soz. I should've probs watched video 1st lol
Double your pleasure, double your fun, eh? 😎
😂
The geography of this episode just hurts my head, and I'm from Birmingham
AYYY JEN ON THE MOVE IS HERE!

Literally a POINTLESS Pointless Journey
As someone who grew up in Tamworth, I'm happy to see my hometown featured!
You also got to experience the single best thing about Tamworth - being able to leave that godforsaken town!
Are there ticket barriers in the station?
@@woneezy No barriers at Tamworth.

This was indeed a great pointless journey. Great vlog Nick! Tamworth I do like that station, this is home territory for me being in the West Midlands.
For anyone wondering, Nick goes on a pointless journey. Epic video as always Nick! You never fail to impress! There's some interesting stations in the video, and nice to see a glimpse of the Centro 323!
Nice video Nick. Can you do another pointless journey at Litchfield Trent Valley on the high and low level platforms
I lived in Tamworth for the last 28 years. Quickest way from High level to low level would be to change at B New Street and get the train to Lichfield Trent Valley and then get the train to Tamworth Low Level.
Another pointless journey is a return to Polesworth. 😁
Litchfield Trent Valley has high and low level platforms so Litchfield Trent valley high level to low level could be a pointless journey
The Hawthorns really comes into it's own on match days. I was also their last year for the Commonwealth Games and it's size came in handy.
I wish more corridor ended 172's had been built for other franchises. Chiltern and GWR branches spring to mind.
Why the NO for a 350/2? I'm a big fan of the Desiro EMU.
i really enjoyed this one brilliant pointless journey i cant wait for the next one
Great vid as usual
Would be interesting if you did New Street to Moor Street via like Coventry or leamington spa
Hi Nick I guess you know but close to where I live ish is Shotton. They have a upper and lower section. Be interested to see around that area. Love your videos. I live in Wrexham. Keep up the great content.
Yes you did it! Got another suggestion - Upminster to Upminster Bridge in London will involve Elizabeth line - Overground - Underground.
Tamworth station that has both high level and low level platforms could of been renamed as “Tamworth Interchange” or “Tamworth Junction”. Still keep up with the amazing work Nick. 😊
You should really do Portsmouth and Southsea high level to low level
I once did this journey, but not by choice.
I was trying to get to Euston. Trained got cabcelled at BNS and the only way south was to go back to Tamworth and get a CrossCoubtry to Reading. What a faff.
I tried to simplify a railway map and spotted the tram line, but I lost track at Snow Hill.
Only just been shown your channel by the algorithm gods today.
Glad to see my area on the channel.
Curious: did you get a Network Daytripper to cover all these journeys plus a return from Tamworth? (Covers all West Midlands county buses, trains & trams)?

I love these videos.
heres a suggestion - Worcestershire Parkway High level to Low Level
3 to 4 hours via birmingham and Oxford. I did it last summer! Of course 20 mins via Worcester but that's way too easy.
So jealous of all these interconnections and how you can just show up and know that another train will be along soon (30 minutes was your longest wait!). We have a decent network on the island of Montreal with buses and metro, but the commuter trains are nowhere near as good as yours, and off-island? Forget it; super-low frequency buses, and that's about all you get except for a few commuter trains.
Have you ever done Liverpool South Parkway High-Low level?
Another way to do this journey is to go from the high level up to Derby, Derby to Leicester, Leicester to Nuneaton and Nuneaton to Tamworth.
Do this even faster by going Tamworth to New Street
New Street to Nuneaton
Nuneaton to Tamworth
Or:
Tamworth HL - Birmingham New Street
Birmingham New Street - Stafford
Stafford - Tamworth LL
to be honest, I don't know Birmingham well enough to have come up with that convoluted a route for this journey... I'd have just done Tamworth- New Street- Rugby- Tamworth (or maybe swapped Rugby for Coventry and Nuneaton)
I would of done the same
Or Tamworth, New Street, Stafford, Tamworth !!
I used to have to get the train to the Hawthorns daily and can confirm, there is never anyone there. I think I encountered one, maybe two people at the station per week at peak hours
Except on matchdays of course.

Nick, what about Catford to Catford Bridge ? You cannot buy a ticket between them but you can use oyster or contactless
A brilliant pointless journey video Nick, Tamworth is a station I quite like. Also I feel for you having to ride these 350/2's lol.
A really good pointless journey you could do is Birmingham New Street - Birmingham Moor Street. A way to do this is to get a West Midlands Railway 350 service for Wolverhampton and get off at Smethwick Galton Bridge, then catch a 172 bound for Stratford, Dorridge or Whitlocks End and get off at Moor Street!

Could Birmingham New Street To Birmingham Snow Hill Via Moor Street train from Birmingham to Banbury, Banbury to Moor Street Chiltern, WMR Moor Street to Snow Hill
Requesting: Southend Central to Southend Victoria..
changing lines at Barking, then Gospel Oak, then Stratford
I think I mentioned that one on a previous video.
You'd use the Romford - Upminster branch as the U turn point.
@@lewis72 True, but to make the journey even more pointless by going a long way around via Barking or West Ham🤭
You could do Glasgow Central to Glasgow Queen Street.
That is actually pretty easy if you use the low-level platforms. Just change at Partick.
High level to high level would be a bit more pointless:
Central - Newton - Motherwell - Greenfaulds - Queen Street, or go via Edinburgh.
Paisley Gilmour St to Paisley Canal. They even sell a ticket for it 🤣
Do Shotton Low Level To Shotton High Leven Next😊
Tamworth also has a Limited Avanti West Coast Service
Another awesome vlog
Hello, I'm new around here. I enjoyed your pointless journey video. Never thought of this idea before. Good job buddy 👍🏻
Falkirk has Falkirk High and Falkirk Grahamston (High and Low Stations) , both on different lines. One for another trip when you head north of the border

@@NickBadley worcestershire parkway high level to worcestershire parkway low level via oxford and birmingham lol
Come for the video, stay for Emily Chomicz
Nice, I'm not familiar with the lines around Birmingham
I first thought of Tamworth -> Birmingham New Street -> Rugby -> Tamworth
If your journey is essentially platform to platform, you should do the journey without changing platforms at any of the intermediate stations. Maybe crossing from one side of a platform to the other is ok. You should avoid interchanges that are further than the distance between the original start and end points.
How about a pointless journeys for Farringdon Thameslink and Elizabeth Line station to the Tube station?
Might I suggest Newark Castle to Newark Northgate? 👀
Newark Castle to Carlton, walk round to Netherfield. From there to Grantham and from Grantham to Newark Northgate
Very good, Nick. I like this sensible stupidity!
Great stuff Nick. 👍
Seems like poor signage, don't think you need to go outside Walsall station to swap platforms?
Yeah Smethwick Galton Bridge really is a maze.
And could do with more and/or bigger lifts, so many stairs.
imagine going between st pancras thameslink and st pancras international
Easy ;) Thameslink to Luton and back with EMR trains.
Are there ticket barriers in Tamworth station?
It irritates the hell out of me that LNR/WMT run refurbished 350s on the commuter route between Birmingham and Rugeley - but then the awful 3+2 configuration 350/2 on the long-distance Crewe - London route!

These are pointless journeys, but frustratingly could have useful purpose because they are showing the extents you might have to go if the lifts are out of order and you require step free access (obviously not in this one as Rugeley Trent Valley was used)
Will you do Catford Bridge to Catford?
Geoff's already done that one :)
This is brilliant. I've done Glasgow Queen Street Low Level to Glasgow Central Low Level, which isn't quite as pointless but probably is not too far off
Did you change at Partick?
@@joblesswideo-fb7nj i changed at exhibition centre.
Nicely done 🙂
whats so bad about a 350/2?
also do heathrow terminals
@Nick Badley you could do a pointless journey video in The Netherlands from or Duivendrecht high level (where trains to Utrecht Centraal via Breukelen,Uitgeest and Rotterdam Centraal depart and the Amsterdam metrolines 54 and 50 to Gein and Isolatorweg(nearby sloterdijk) and Amsterdam Centraal depart and from the low level platforms the sprinter trains to Hoofddorp, Utrecht Centraal via Hilversum, Almere Centrum and Almere Oostvaarders and the Intercity trains to Enschede, Amersfoort Schothorst and Lelystad Centrum depart or from Amsterdam Sloterdijk low level platforms (where the sprinter trains to Uitgeest, Rotterdam Centraal, Hoorn,Zandvoort aan Zee ,Amsterdam Centraal and Driebergen Zeist(in rush hours) departs and the Intercity trains to Alkmaar, Den Helder,Nijmegen,Maastricht, Den Haag Centraal (rush hour) , Enkhuizen , Vlissingen, Heerlen and Amsterdam Centraal depart to Amsterdam Sloterdijk High level platforms where the sprinter trains to Zwolle,Hoofddorp (on Monday until Friday until 20:00 further to Den Haag Centraal) ,Amersfoort Vathorst ,Hoorn Kersenboogerd(also only from Monday to Friday until 20:00 further to Den Haag Centraal) and next to the highlevel platforms to Schiphol Airport and Amsterdam Centraal are departing the Amsterdam metrolines 50 from Isolatorweg to Gein and 51 from Isolatorweg to Amsterdam Centraal
Have a go at Mitcham Junction to Mitcham Junction
Now do Lichfield Trent Valley, without going to New Street.
Do Wigan North Western to Wigan Wallgate!
Maybe Wallgate to Kirkby, Kirkby to Liverpool Central, Central to Lime Street, Lime Street to Wigan North Western
Maybe you could do Euston to King's Cross and/or St Pancras...without the tube
Euston to King's Cross via Edinburgh.
Or Euston to King's Cross, only using First Class, and only a single change of trains. No declassified tickets allowed.
Don't think there has been a comparisom video of the above!
Youll soon be able to do Wolverhampton to Wolverhampton via train and then tram.
Why not go from New St to Walsall? Saves the faffing about at Smethwick?
How about bank to monument by train on London Underground?
You should make a pointless journeys video where you just go to slough
Next should be Lichfield Trent Valley low to high! LTV to Rugeley TV, Rugeley TV to Birmingham New Street (via my hometown - again!), then New Street to Lichfield TV via West Midlands Rail.
If you were feeling really up for it, you could go LTV to EUS, then EUS to New Street then the local service to Lichfield!
Should do st helens juction to st helens central no direct train link between them
You should do Birmingham Moor Street to Birmingham New Street.
I went to London and we stopped at Tamworth
Good one
If I were doing this, I'd probably have gone via Nottingham or Derby as some other commenters have said...
But my main question is: how the hell did you ticket this? I know for a fact that the CoC/RG precludes Tamworth HL to Tamworth LL as a route and you certainly seemed to be flying by the seat of your pants this entire time :P
Tamorth to Tamworth via Nottingham...amazing
What about Smethwick to Smethwick?
You should've got on the 323 at Birmingham along the cross city line to Lichfield, then one stop on the WCML. I appreciate it's a more boring route, but it's a chance to ride the 323s before they all disappear up north.
Here are two ambitious ones for you:
Vienna Hauptbahnhof - Vienna Westbahnhof.
Budapest Nyugati - Budapest Keleti
You need to do Worcestershire parkway (GWR high level) to Worcestershire parkway (cross country low level)
Another route you could have done is Tamworth to Birmingham on the high level, then Birmingham to Lichfield Trent Valley, then Lichfield Trent Valley to Tamworth. You would have passed through LTV anyway from RTV.
Do Cardiff Central - Cardiff Queen Street Via Llandudno & Holyhead

Also interesting idea Pointless Journey from Birmingham Moor Street to Birmingham Snow Hill via New Street, cavat is you can't use the direct train from Moor Street to Snow Hill. So you could do Moor Street to Leamington Spa or Banbury, CrossCountry back to Birmingham New Street, then you could get the Tram as far as the Hawthorns or West Birmingham Central to get a bus to Snow Hill, the Tram takes you to St Chads outside Snow Hill, the bus I think stops outside
Had to use Tamworth High Level at night a couple of years back. Not very pleasant, it's appallingly badly lit.
go on C2C from fencurch street or liverpoll street to shoeburyness
If you want a challenge, Nick, how about Shotton High Level to Shotton Low Level
Welcome to Benton
my guy you cou;d've just gone tamworth>new street>stafford>tamworth
still fun to watch tho tbf
Mabye a smethwick pointless journey could be an idea
cool video i like it😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Nice, been here before
Birmingham to Nuneaton then Nuneaton to Tamworth? Your butt must be numb, those trains seats are hard.
My eye’s opened wide seing that old 323
I got one for ypu Leicester to Derby to Nuneaton and back to Leicester
LNWR / LMR Only has 350s in that area they are getting the 730 soon
Could have got the tram to Wolverhampton and then change trains at Stafford :) I'd prefer the scenery that way
Pointless Journey: Ormskirk Platform 1 to Ormskirk Platform 2 (or vice versa).
Shorter suggestion: Tamworth - Birmingham New Street then Birmingham New Street - Nuneaton and Nuneaton - Tamworth.
But can you buy a a single ticket from Tamworth high level to Tamworth low level?
About Walsall i thought you're gonna go to warsaw in poland bruh
