Here's an idea for a Pointless Journey's Special Edition...From Clapham Junction, to as many of the other platforms at Clapham Junction as possible in one day!
Or in general Clapham Junction to Clapham Junction via all 3 serving operators
Overground to peckham rye, southern peckham rye to tulse Hill
TL tulse hill to Wimbledon and SWR back to Clapham or for a twist southern to east Croydon and the tram to Wimbledon
Excellent idea!
Yes
What about Clapham Junction (towards Stratford) to Clapham Junction (Towards Dalston)
London Waterloo?
Haha, I love that the dot-matrix indicators at Holborn (5:09) also still show Heathrow Terminal 1.
Yes, tfl certainly seem to be taking their time about making these changes, don't they?
And the pic onboard announcements say ‘This train is for Heathrow Terminals 1,2,3 and 5
Nick Badley is the perfect name for a thief who's really bad at stealing lmao
in all seriousness though, only seen a few of your videos so far but i'm really enjoying them, keep up the good work!
Personally, what I would have done is Crossrail from Terminals 2 & 3 to Ealing Broadway, District Line to Acton Town, then finally Piccadilly Line to Terminals 2 & 3
I just made it longer to add to the pointlessness. After all that’s the focus. 😉
@Hugh Hillier true, though the standout features for me on the arm of the Piccadilly Line are the old signal box at Boston Manor and the in tact platforms of the former Osterly Park and Spring Grove station
@@SiVlog1989 shame we didnt film them but ive always loved that section of the line
@@HillierHugh speaking of which, when I did 2 weeks of Work Experience at my local Tube Station, Morden, part of my experience involved going to the then Northern and Victoria line control centre at Coberg Street, Euston. Obviously with the massive works going on in the area, plus the modernisation of both lines means that it's gone now, I wish I could have taken a picture or two for posterity, but it was a cool experience nonetheless, seeing where every train was located on the Northern line :)
@Hugh Hillier me and my Dad had an idea for another pointless journey on the Tube, lol. Hammersmith (District and Piccadilly) to Hammersmith (H&C and Circle). The route we came up with was District Line to Tower Hill, then Circle Line to Hammersmith. It certainly goes a pretty long way round
The quality of you’re videos are amazing, you deserve way more subscribers Nick.
I would have gotten the purple train to Ealing Broadway, then a District line to Acton Town, before finally getting the Piccadilly line's Heathrow branch from there!
Yes, or maybe the Elizabeth line to Paddington, the circle line to Gloucester Road and the Piccadilly to Heathrow?
@@derekhorne8076 that's another option. 🙂
But that’s still a kinda short one. I wanted to emphasise the pointlessness of the video. Also nick has previously added unnecessary bits to these journeys
@@HillierHugh that makes sense. 🙂
@Hugh Hillier. Yeah that makes sense and wasn't meant as a criticism, just another (shorter) route. It was a great video and was equally great to see you on it
I love this series! Loved the cool facts and Hugh.
777!!!!!!
A really fun way to do this could have been Heathrow to Faringdon, take the Barbican exit, got the Circle, Met or H&C back to Faringdon, Thameslink to Elephant and Castle and then Bakerloo back to Piccadilly Circus then back to Heathrow
NICK! I HAVE GOT THE PERFECT POINTLESS JOURNEY! FARRINGDON ELIZABETH LINE AND THAMESLINK TO THE TUBE!
my mental health is restored when he uploads
Dorking in Surrey is a small town with about 10,000 people and 3 train stations (2 on the same line). Dorking deepdene is a station which is on a bridge across the main road about 100m from Dorking main (on a different line) and you can see the stations from each other. Trainline suggested route tells you to walk between the 2 stations so it would be a perfect pointless journeys
Here’s an idea for pointless journey… I done it back in 2020 before Covid.
Travel around London using every tube line, each of the different overground lines, everyone of the DLR branches , most commuter train operators that serves London (Southern, Southeastern, Thameslink, C2C, SWR, GWR, GA, GN, SE High Speed, LNWR, Chiltern) the trams but only once. Not as easy as you think but super fun 😂
what if you do Worcestor Foregate Street to Worcestor Foregate street? in case you didnt know, it has 2 platforms, but instead of the usual style of two tracks and one line, it is essentially two single-track lines next to each other lol, so you could do a journey from one platform to the other.
^^^^^^^^^^^^!!!!
I live near here, its a nice station too!
Shrub hill to forgate street
It is my fellow jammy guy
Cool to see you at the refurbished bank station, I visited it in February and can agree that it is fabulous!
The quintessential London tube shot (at 3:17): people casually strolling right past the No Exit sign into the corridor.
What I love about this one. Is there's so many ways of doing it
I love this series! 😊❤
Beautiful
One of the all time best TFL experiences u have had is the DLRdecending into bank
Good to seen other pointless journey.
Would you be kind to tell if you think you will be able to do pointless journey from Windsor and Eton Central to Windsor and Eton Riverside?
Love a good Pointless Journey! Sooo many ways this one could have been done. I’d have plumped for something like Elizabeth to Tottenham Court Road, Northern to Kentish Town, Thameslink to Wimbledon, National Rail to Richmond, District to Turnham Green, another to Acton Town, then Piccadilly from there. It all depends how long you want to take!
And unlike your patron @JenOnTheMove, you _didn't_ get kicked out! Great video...
We were very careful when filming. I think nick had been told about it but ive had experience of it in the past. We also deliberately filmed outside in areas where there were no security guards
If you're adding guests to the pointless journeys series, then I think it would be cool to do a pointless journey with JenOnTheMove, but in the style of one of her races where you both take separate routes to get from the high level to low level platforms (or vice versa) and see who can make the pointless journey the fastest!
king’s cross intercity platforms to king’s cross commuter platforms or vice versa, could be interesting
Idea you should do Richmond(underground-overground) to Richmond(national rail).
Another fun one in London might be Dalston to Dalston in the East End - that is, Dalston Kingsland to Dalston Junction, which are on separate Overground lines. You could even ride the entire loop around the city, or do something wilder through the centre. Lots of interesting stuff to see.
Or Hackney Downs to Hackney Central via the Lea Valley, the Eurostar depots, the Olympic park and the Wick.
Or maybe Stratford to Stratford International. Stratford is complex, with everything from mainline to DLR trains - and you'd reach International using the High-Speed from St Pancras.
There must be endless possibilities for these in the vast London network!
I went on vacation last month from Heathrow
You can't possibly beat the Welcome to Luton guy on pointless journeys, can you xD
Nice pointless Journey wasn't too long ago I visit Holborn to get to Cockfosters but nice to see the Piccadilly Line. Also haven't been watching Hugh's video long, only last week and it's a channel that I do like. Defiantly Subscribe
This technically is more of a wander than a pointless journey, you should’ve instead taken the Lizzie to Totthenam Court Road, change to the Northern Line and go to Lesticer square and change for the Picadilly back to Heathrow Central for Terminals 2 & 3
If you are in that area again you could try Windsor and Eton Central to Windsor and Eton Riverside. There's a couple of routes: one via London and one avoiding London.
Here's a pointless journey suggestion: Camden Town (Northern line) to Camden Road (Overground).
I have to say that the Elizabeth Line is more efficient and can handle more passengers especially during rush hour. I have been on the Elizabeth Line many times and I do like the seats on the Class 345.
If you had done this today, I probably would've seen you! Great video :]
the guy watching the CCTV be like: whattt??
Good idea for a pointless journey, Windsor & Eton Riverside - Windsor & Eton Central. EXTRA CHALLENGE: Use more than 5 operaters (not incl; different LU lines).
You should do Shotton high to low
Did he do Shotton to Shotton because I said?
I'd have honestly gone with changing at Ealing Broadway and heading via the district line to either Acton Town or Hammersmith to change to the Pic.
at last he did it
Me: youre probably going to get the pic to acton town, get a connecting service to ealing broadway and get ELZ right?
Hugh Hillier: We will be getting the elizabeth line…
Me: oh right the opposite
Hugh Hillier: …to Liverpool Street
Me: wha?
Ever thought of doing Pembroke Dock to Milford Haven? Separated by a bit of water, would make a good video Nick!
Putney to East Putney. 5 minutes on foot but via Clapham Junction on teain
Brilliant pointless journeys video Nick, I still need to ride the Piccadilly line down to Heathrow at some point.
Ah yes, I have some ideas for pointless journeys...
Catford - Catford Bridge
Paddington (Mainline) - Paddington (Underground)
New Cross - New Cross Gate
Walthamstow Queens Road - Walthamstow Central
Canning Town high level - low level
I have more ideas but they're mostly the same idea.
I had another idea for a pointless Journey! How about going from the Moorgate End of the Elizabeth Line Platforms at Liverpool Street to the Liverpool Street End.
dude i attended most of hugh’s streams i miss them
Sooner or later you'll have to do Edgware Road (Circle Line) to Edgware Road (Circle Line), by taking the Circle Line.
Nick, you failed to include the iconic "MIND THE GAP" at Bank. I used to commute to school via this station, and change to Northern Line using the old spiral staircase .. when there was just the one staircase for both up and down passengers - much more fun than a travelator!
5:09 The train indicators still says Heathrow T1,2,3& T5
I got two good ideas:
Hertford East to Hertford North and Enfield Town to Enfeild chase
When are you going to be doing worcestershire parkway? I would pay for your tickets to do that one via the longest most ridicoulous route possible. This one has to be the maximum number of individual trains used to essentially go nowhere.
Pointless Journeys idea- St Albans Abbey to St Albans City
Reading to Reading (up to Bath, down to Westbury and across to Reading)
Wouldn’t it be faster to take the Elizabeth Line to Ealing Broadway, take the District Line to Acton Town and then take the Piccadilly Line to Heathrow?
Great pointless journey. Shame Hugh didn't create a more convoluted route for you. Definitely could see more Tube lines and even the Overground for your journey. Could've made an entire day out of it. 😆
had to keep it simple but not insanely short 😉
@Hugh Hillier and still pointless. 🙃
Hence why I made it longer to add to the pointlessness 😉
Very Nice
Pointless journey idea
Southport Merseyrail to Southport Northern
Nick, can you do runcorn to runcorn east for a pointless journey?
Pointless Journey idea: London Bridge to...London Bridge (via Northern line and Southern Rail)
have a great summer
You could just go to Tottenham Court Road wallk to Russell Square and Piccadilly line from there
How about Tyndrum Upper to Tyndrum Lower as a Pointless journey??
Another route could have been Elizabeth line to Paddington, Paddington to Earls Court on the District then Piccadilly to Heathrow.
A triple pointless one for you, Maidstone East to Maidstone West Via Maidstone Barracks
Great video Nick. You remind me so much of the BBC political editor, Chris Mason!😊😊
Can't wait for yer channel to blow up
I love the video it's class
Ok, Leeds City to Leeds City, must go out one way and in the other.
Easily done.
Leeds to York via Harrogate, the back via Garforth.
For a harder West Yorks based pointless journey, try Pontefract Monkhill to Pontefract Baghill. I am planning on doing this one soon.
Please may you do Canterbury west to Canterbury west
can you do pointless journeys from Bradford Interchange-Bradford Forster Square
No Heathrow express at terminal 4
Hi nick I watch your channel at school
Here is an idea: Liverpool Central (Wirral or northern line first you choose), to Liverpool Central (Wirral or northern line you choose)
I would have done Liz Line to Canary Wharf, DLR to LCY airport, Fly BA to Edinburgh, tram to Edinburgh Waverley, LNER to Newcastle, T&W Metro to Newcastle Airport, fly BA to LHR T5 then Piccadilly line back to T1,2 & 3...
Could do southport merseyrail to southport northern
Do st Pancras to kings cross. And waterloo to waterloo east
How About doing Catford to Catford Bridge??
would be interesting to see the oyster charge
Unfortunately, rather boringly, I only used a Zone 1-6 day travelcard with a railcard discount! £10!
@@NickBadley I could imagine it would be kind of a penalty
Also I was using a 16+ zip card where fares are discounted
you should do bedford to bedford st johns! bedford to kettering, kettering to leicester, leicester to nuneaton, nuneaton to coventry, coventry to bletchley, bletchley to bedford st johns. :) i should point out that bedford st johns is like 2 minutes away from bedford main.
Maybe Litchfield TV to Litchfield TV. Up to lower?
Now try Manchester Piccadilly P1-12 (main shed) to Manchester Piccadilly P13-14 (through platforms) using the most interesting route you could do (not just going to Stockport or the Airport then straight back, cos wheres the fun in that?)
A pointless journey you can do is Glasgow central to Glasgow queen street or Glasgow central high level to Glasgow central low level
3 pointless journeys I can think of
1. Gainsborough lea Rd to Gainsborough Central
2. Bradford Foster Square to Bradford interchange
3. Meadowhall platform 1and 2 to Meadowhall platform 3 and 4 but u can not use Sheffield Station
Day 1 of asking nick to do pointless journey of kilburn to brondesbury
Have you been in Lincoln for a while? I keep seeing people who make train content at Lincoln and I'm starting uni this year so I'm learning not only the trains there but pointless journeys I can take from Lincoln I guess😃👍
My question is: how did the payment work for this journey? Did you use a contactless card to check in and out at the same station?
Could you do Mainline stations for example Waterloo to Waterloo underground stations? That is pointless right?
dude! you could have just caught the central line to holborn from liverpool street instead of northern then central!
4:15 The curvy platform or kirkby platform?
If you living in east london elizabeth line is best bet but no one going to use Heathrow express pay more. If you living in North London use underground piccdilly line it make sense i say ?
Catford Bridge to Catford???
Am wondering what fare you were charged for this journey ?
I think east to west Croydon would be a good video?
You didn't get chucked out of Heathrow like @jentravels
hehe here in less than a minute
Niceeeee where is this
wigan wallgate to wigan north western
geoguessr 😳
Hey, shame you didn’t do the Heathrow Express just to show how to do it in comfort, style and speed! They are posh trains, or they were, feeling like first class throughout even though there is a first class. The Elizabeth Line is good compared to the Piccadilly Line and proving popular and busy but there’s no toilets on those trains or comfy seats!!
We didn't use HX because it is ££££££££
The 5 of may is my birthday 🎆🎂😂😊🙂😀
