      Well, that would mean Avanti West Coast from Warrington to Birmingham, CrossCountry from Birmingham to Bournemouth, South Western Railway from Bournemouth to London Waterloo, London Underground from London Waterloo to Warren Street and then London Underground from Warren Street to King’s Cross.

    It’s about time you could get a direct train from Ebbw Vale to Newport instead of having to go all the way to Cardiff! It might even be quicker to jump off at Pye Corner and get a bus, or even walk!
    If I’d done this journey I think I’d have stayed with the XC turbostar to Nottingham and then gone via Newark Castle and Lincoln. Good video! 👍🏻

    Another interesting well presented video Nick, Thanks.
    An idea for a journey that came to mind, a train journey on the National Rail Network that would require the most number of trains and changes to complete, That is using a recognised route that a 'normal' passenger would use, and the least number of trains to complete it, not sure what such a journey would be yet, are there any journeys that would require more than 5 trains to complete? I will have a look when time permits.

  • @kr46428
    @kr46428 Год назад +2

    Excellent run, though I had visions of Geoguessr handing you a brutal 14 hour "Penzance" to "Inverness" combo. I think there is a single CrossCountry that gets you most of the way without changing, but I expect you'd need buttocks made of clouds to pull it off.

  • @AngelWedge

    Llanhilleth is just down the road from me. I pass that station all the time. I'm surprised they put a nice train on for you - it's always a real surprise what train type they're runner each day!
