From Troon to... Troon! 9hrs = 603 miles | No beaches and no golf courses at Troon #2

- Опубликовано: 12 сен 2024
- A real smorgasbord of transport, which included a train, metro, flight, bus and a coach. I travel for 9 hours from Troon, Ayrshire, to the other Troon, but I won't ruin the surprise. Needless to say the Scottish Troon is much better!
Filmed March 2023 | Troon, UK.

There is a Troon in Cornwall too
There is one everywhere these days.
@@AriverfishThey're even showing up in women's restrooms and kindergartens
This was awesome, I was expecting you'd found somewhere else in Scotland called Troon so was surprised when you ended up at the airport! Brilliant adventure! And 5:55 🤣
Thanks Steve. I met a few people along the way who recognised me, and when I mentioned I was travelling from Troon to Troon, I got some very strange looks! ... stranger than usual.
How about Montrose to Montrose (British Colombia) 🏴🇨🇦
@@Ian-Steele Haha it's been considered! But we were thinking the Colorado one, didn't even realise we had one in Canada to consider too! :)
@@PlanesTrainsEverything Hi Scott, great idea! What about Paris to Paris in Texas 😁
Campbelltown NSW to Campbell Town SA
Excellent thinking 'outside the box' for a trip. I was thinking you were going to Troon in Cornwall, a small village. Please keep these off-beat trips going.
Pleasure to meet you in, of all places, Security at Glasgow Airport! Never knew of the other Troon, and as always, fascinating to find new places via your travels - keep up the videos!
You could try Edinburgh to Dunedin all the way from Scotland to New Zealand but it'll take a lot more than 9 hours!
Or how about Perth to Perth!
It’d have to be Dundee, Edinburgh to Dunedin! 😀
There's an Oban on Stewart Island, off the southern tip of New Zealand's South Island. I think that would be the longest town-to-town journey I could do from Scotland. :-)
@@PlanesTrainsEverything South Shetland Islands off Antarctica and I believe that they have some kind of scientific base down there.
@@PlanesTrainsEverything I look forward to Oban to Oban with great anticipation 😃. I think you might have tapped into a rich stream of new videos here!
As a resident of Troon (the Scottish one) I was most surprised when you got off the plane at Charleroi as I was convinced you’d be going to Troon, a village near Camborne in Cornwall. I never knew there was a third Troon in Belgium. It might be worth doing a Troon Triangle! By the way, did you notice that half our railway station was missing? The buildings on the northbound platform were destroyed by fire a couple of years ago. They’ve got the go ahead to be rebuilt in a style sympathetic with what was there before but suitable for the accessibility we demand of the modern age.
Thanks for your comment. I did have a look at the poor Troon station. I'm glad you mentioned it will be sympathetic, as too many modern constructions are glass and steel and lacking any sort of warmth.
Hi I was half expecting Troon in Cornwall also imagine my disappointment when you didn’t arrive at Newquay airport 😢
@@PlanesTrainsEverything I’m looking forward to seeing how the rebuild turns out. The original was a design of James Miller who was responsible for muck of Glasgow Central and the magnificent Wemyss Bay stations amongst others.
@@kernowboy137 when I saw him board the Ryanair flight I was wondering as to what the routing would be to Newquay as I knew they didn’t fly direct. Charleroi cane as a big surprise!
Never even new there was another troon
Thanks, Scott, going to Charleroi airport, so we don't have to.
next time perhaps a trip from the Isles of Scilly to the Belgian town of Silly- or would that be too silly an idea?
Or the Scilly Isles, a series of roundabouts near Kingston on Thames.
It's, ehm, rural in Silly. And the station is more a parkway station than a proper town station, it was moved to its current location after the old line was closed. But you can spot Eurostars and Thalysses... (no access to the HSL, though)
Love this! I'm from both near Preston Lancs and Preston Dorset so I've done that journey in the past... Quite the trek
Another great video and thank you for talking those that can not travel on epic adventures... Your are a superstar!!
Take it from a local : ''troon'' is the Flemish word for ''throne''.
I think that town is pronounced to rhyme with throne as well - if Flemish is similar to Dutch, OO is pronounced like oh - OE is OO in Dutch!
Could make an interesting series on your channel - two similarly- named towns!
That's interesting, 2 different etymologies.
As soon as I saw the title I thought it must be in Belgium or the Netherlands but it didn’t even occur to me until you were on the flight that it was a place I’ve been many times. This is the issue with bilingual places; I’ve only ever thought of it as Trône because I speak French and not Dutch.
I was literally in Charleroi and Brussels MIDI station a few days ago, would have been cool if I bumped into you.
Troon!!! 🥳 Grew up in Ayrshire my whole life! Remember always going to Troon as a kid! Love your videos! ❤❤❤
Ho ho! When I started watching the video, I thought, "I could comment that we have a metro station called "Troon" in Brussels. Then I discover that is exactly where you were headed to! (Though you pronounce it "Trone", like "Drone".)
Really enjoy your videos.
Brilliant video
Watching this a year on as only came across your excellent channel earlier in this year.
I wondered if you were going to Troon in Cornwall, but think it's further than this place!
This is a good idea for an ongoing series
I think most place names in Scotland have been used in Canada and the USA, so there are plenty of possibilities.
Nice. Enjoyed. Thanks Scott.
A double-o in the relevant local language is pronounced to rhyme with "dough", not "through", and "Troon" is a homophone for "Trône" in the other official language of that city. It means "throne", as the station is at the Place du Trône / Troonplein - the area being so named because it is next to the Royal Palace.
Cannot resist it Scott, but what a load of WAFFLE, or the lack of it. Long way to go for a snack. However seems like you enjoyed the trip. Along days outing cannot wait to see where we all end up next. Really enjoy the tag along. Stay safe and enjoy.
Wouldn’t it be something if the Belgian Troon had a Lonsdale Bar.🍺😂
I went from Perth to Perth once. Thats Perth in Scotland to Perth in Australia. Took best part of 2 days. Most Northern race course to most southerly race course.
Clever idea, and you packed in a lot of types of transportation!
A very good Sunday evening buddy from Alan in Lowestoft and a very happy Easter buddy
Well, your traveler’s luck is improving. Hope your travels are reasonably trouble free.😎
Troon to Troon, Arizona! That would have been an adventure. I've been there and it's very hot!
By the way I live in Troon, Ayrshire!
Great Channel Scott, love your videos! 😊
Hi Joanne, I discovered the 'other' Troon a few years ago. I was on the Brussels Metro with my son when I suddenly said... "Quick, get off!" He was confused, but being a North Ayrshire boy he sood realised why I spotted a photo opportunity.
@@PlanesTrainsEverything Great opportunity! Great video thanks Scott. Absolutely love all of your travels. You inspired me and I'm just back from a solo adventure, taking in 4 countries in Europe in a week! It was fabulous!
Troon to Troon ? I am sure it has never been done before. Brilliant.
I did a quick check and couldn't find anything like it. The station signs are bi-lingual, and only works with the Dutch ones. In French, Trône doesn't work, so you have to be a bit selective. :-)
Being from troon(ayrshire) myself I had heard of the other troon but have never been there. Such a shame that troon station burnt down. Hope when they rebuild it looks original....ish!
Neat to see that Qantas bird at Glasgow. I remember when I was in Glasgow last July I had to do a double take when I saw it.
Another excellent video scott always makes me smile when i see you done an upload. Now for the next trip Perth in Scotland to Perth down under 😜
Ha ha, don't tempt me!
Excellent, so right in so many ways! well done:)
If you ever make it to Florida, we have a Paisley, Dunedin, Inverness, Dundee, Aberdeen, Paxton, Milton and Campbeltown.
Coming up with some great ideas and that creates interest videos thanks Scott 🎉
I think I come up with some unusual content because a work colleague once described me as having a mind like a box full of frogs. It seems to work. :-)
Glad to see that you finally got to eat something at Brussels Midi. Great video Scott!
Hi Scott from Spain. Real day for chancing your luck, travelling by Paddy's planes. Hope you're going to show us what is outside the airport boundary and what food you managed to get there. I fancy a waffle with hot chocolate sauce and ice cream on the side.
Yeahhh! I guessed Belgium!
Well done Sir! It only works in Dutch, as the French name is Trône and that doesn't really work. The Metro signs are bi-lingual, so you have to be selective. :-)
Keeping with this theme .. your next 5 trips could be ..
Dundee to Dundee (South Africa)
Perth to Perth (Australia)
Aberdeen to Aberdeen (Hong Kong)
Paisley to Paisley (Canada)
Inverness to Inverness (Jamaica)
Hi Brian, there are countless possibilities. Just about every town in Scotland has been used by early settlers in Canada and the USA. I think the furthest apart would be Oban and Oban (New Zealand).
That was a good video showing some knowledge of other places with the same name. Maybe the triangle of Cornwall Troon would be interesting to see how fast you could get back. Or Richmond Yorkshire to Richmond SURREY. Keep them coming dude cheers.
Scott I love your videos you make me wish I could join you on your adventures. I actually thought on this video Troon to Troon you were going to do some around scotland trip and end back up in troon scotland again. Fantastic video again look forward to the next one.
I miss the ferry from northern Ireland going into troon
I am all agog to see where you are going - where is the other Troon, or is there another one? The mystery deepens..... PS Well that was a surprise! You kept us all wondering till the very end. Love your quirky commentary - "I'll save it for Ron - later on". Ha ha.
There is another troon here in Cornwall. We are a small village between the towns of Redruth and Camborne. Come and visit!
Coool
Very suspenseful video
Now this is exciting my friend
Like the comment earlier, I also expected you to be heading to Cornwall, but I have to say it is far from the best part of Cornwall, and the Troon you chose looked much nicer !
Nice one Scott 👍👍😀
There's a village in Cornwall called Troon as well, with quite a frequent bus service, the 49. Could be another trip worth making!
And will take 9 hrs to get there!
@@alanwllms5172 Well from Scotland obviously
ACKtually I think it's the 41
@@genericwhitemale9566 ACKtually -🤓
@@genericwhitemale9566it was the 41 but now the 48 operated by Transport for Cornwall (part of Go Cornwall Bus part of Plymouth and Citybus owned by Go Ahead)
You should try doing Washington Tyne and Wear to Washington USA! Another great video pal, cheers.
Roll up roll up for the magical mystery tour!!!!
Cool video Scott! I must admit I thought at first you were going to be flying to Ireland at first until I saw the airport code for Brussels Charolais on your paper. Ever fancied doing Christchurch to Christchurch (Dorset, England to New Zealand)?
Great vid
Troon in Cornwall..the stock broker belt of Camborne. Surely the most famous Troon.
Fra thu toon o Troon tay Troon ba troon!
Ryanair exit row hack works nearly every time for me.
Definitely Troon in AYRSHIRE😀
Hope there are more videos from Troon since you travelled from troon to troon 🤔
Great video Scott
Hastings (UK)to Hastings(NZ) by Boat, have a nice 8 week trip :)
Just a warning your card security number, full name and your signature were all in this video- I'm not a criminal but maybe you could be more aware..
Two things: first Troon in Brussels has 2 official names. Troon and Trône. Depending on the language you (want to) use, either Dutch or French.
Second, a Dutch RUclipsr has already made a similar video. He went to Borne, starting in Borne. (From NL to DE). And afterwards, he returned from Borne to Borne.
I like the idea though. From Essen to Essen, from Heide to Heide, or Halle to Halle.
I did notice the bi-lingual station signs, so I had to be selective, but it still worked. I think it's more difficult from the UK as we have next to no cross-border place names. Most of the UK names tend to be in the former colonies, named by early settlers.
I'm not too sure about places with the same name (maybe Gillingham, Dorset to Gillingham, Kent?), but a visit to the place that sounds like you've just been slugged in the stomach - Eu, France, at the bottom end of the Opal Coast, would be great!
I think the lady at 2:10 thought you were filming her and not happy haha
I hadn't noticed that when editing. You're right.. she didn't look impressed.
Enjoyed this one, have plans myself to go Knock-Knokke and Dublin-Lublin
I used to fly from London (YXU) to London (LHR) in my younger travelling days.
Back in the Lunn Poly travel agent days, I heard a story of someone booking a couple to Melbourne (MEL) but used Melbourne, Florida (MLB). You can just imagine their surprise when they were handed arrival forms as they approached the USA.
@@PlanesTrainsEverything i think i have read that somebody how did order airline ticket to Sydney, Australia did order ticket to Sydney, Nova Scotia instead
Would sooner have watched a video about Troon Ayrshire,far more interesting to me.
All aboard the troon to Troon!
See you in the next 1..
I hope you did Waterloo to Waterloo for the return journey.
I like this link idea. If youhave more ambitious plans you could do some more long haul same name links. Such as Newcastle, Tyneside to Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia.
Brill ....
You should try Perth to Perth It is a wonderful journey, a tad longer and more expensive than troon to troon and also I left from from Perth Australia
When I lived in Sydney I lived in the suburb of Carlingford, which was named after the town/village in Ireland. One day I might do Paisley, Scotland to Paisley, Ontario.
Thanks scott
Great vid - not too complicated travel-wise, but still a quirky little bit of adventure. Shame the answer to the question "what is the second Troon like?" was always going to be "dark!", but it didn't look great either way.
I think the village of Troon in Cornwall looks much more inviting than the Brussels suburb
Hi Graham, I might do that Troon to Troon adventure next. The destination sounds far more inviting.
Thought he was heading to Troon in Cornwall.
Looks like the rebuild of Troon station Ayrshire is underway after the fire
Not yet it isn’t. It’s got the go ahead but work hasn’t started yet. The metal girders were made safe after the fire as they support the catenary but there’s still no actual building on the northbound platform. Hopefully it won’t be long before the work starts. There was public consultation and the decision was for a building in the style of the old one but to up modern standard with respect of accessibility.
@@egpx Thanks,for explaining about the girders.
what about troon in cornwall aswell
troon to troon via troon
Troon in Scottsdale USA
@@braveheart1846 all the troons
Someone suggested our very own 'Bermuda Triangle; joining up all three Troons. That would be a little more challenging.
You should try Dublin to Dublin in the US, i think there are a few of them, perhaps see how many Dublin's you could visit in one trip.
I haven’t watched more than a minute yet but I’m guessing Brussels... I have stayed in Brussels before and Trone was the second nearest metro to my hotel.
Edit: you flew over Margate and ramsgate too! Very close to me!
It is. I recognised the name plate in the thumbnail almost immediately. Of course, I should, I live here.
You could do Glasgow to Glasgow or Aberdeen to Aberdeen both in the US
I did something similar inadvertently. Beeston (Notts) to Beeston (Yorks) on a recent visit to Leeds
it rains 41% of the time there 🤔
There's a Glasgow in Canada, which oddly enough is in Durham.
The ads on RUclips are getting out of control, I settled down to watch this and the first ad started at 1min 19 seconds in. It does spoil the enjoyment of your excellent videos.
Scott why not try travelling from Flix, Spain to Bus, France?
Hi Peter... Love the idea. Flixbus seem to operate everywhere these days, so that's a definite possibility. I wonder if Flixbus would sponsor the video?
I forgot a Troon in Brussels, Belgium (I have been in that city several times, likely at that or went through that Metro station). I thought at first it was another one in the UK. If you have the time and saves you 100's of monetary units, why not do this.
The only logical next step is Perth to Perth.
Ha ha... don't tempt me! :-)
funnily, there is actually another Troon n the UK, (Trwn Ar Usk), however, that does have what could vaguely be called a beach.... mostly it is just a lighthouse though, albeit with a small bothy you can stay at attached... there was an RNLI station there up to 1995ish, gone today.... not bad of a place, but very windy and hard to get to!
last I remember, there was a small once a day weekend ferry from Wentlooge in summer (the amazing tides giving a very short window when either jetty was accessible)... most were birdwatchers who just took the round trip, but you had to stay in the tiny hut overnight if you wanted to remain on the island...
Great little video. Also like the Ayrshire Troon better, and didn't know the other one existed. Does Paisley have a twin town, not called that?
So funny, the other waffle for Ron 😅
Of course there are loads of waffle stands in Brussels, now you are here.
There's a Paisley in Ontario, Canada. One day you never know...
Ah I see so you went from Troon in Scotland to Troon in Cornwall. Troon in Cornwall isn’t too far from Truro. Still epic video with amazing views. 😄
Umm did you watch the video? He landed in Brussels.
Troon in Belgrade
Ok??
@@Andrewjg_89 he did not land in Troon in Cornwall as you stated in your comment. 🧐
For your next adventure Scott, what about California to California or even Moscow to Moscow. (maybe not at the moment).
Just after Covid lockdown I looked at walking to Califormia, but it just never happened. I made it to Moscow though. Who would have thought a wee bus went there from Ayr.
