Personally I would have done
Euston - Glasgow
Glasgow-Edinburgh
Edinburgh - Kings Cross and then the tube
No Thameslink ? Think about the Thameslink!!!

How about doing a pointless journey between the two Hammersmith stations, one on the District and Picadilly Lines and the other on the Hammersmith and City Line. The stations are completely separate. In order to walk from one to the other you can either go up to the surface and cross the very busy Hammersmith Broadway or use a pedestrian tunnel. There are numerous ways to go from one to the other by train. If you start from the District/Piccadilly one you can start going west to either Ealing Broadway and change to the Central or all the way up to Rayners Lane and change to the Metropolitan Line, or go east and the possibilities are almost endless!
I find it baffling how you can get to your destinations in so many ways! It’s definitely unique! Another great video.
i want to do that too.
It can actually make sense to get the Overground from Harrow & Wealdstone even if you want the Bakerloo. From H&W there are (off-peak) only 4 Bakerloo Line trains per hour, while there are 16 from Queen's Park. So if you're at H&W it makes sense to take the Overground and change at QP if the Overground comes first.
So unfortunately, that bit of your journey wasn't pointless!
He could have just taken the overground to Queens Park from Euston
@@hesterclapp9717 that would be more useful so no
@@hesterclapp9717it’s either I have seen you a comedicly large amount of times or what is up with the trans rock?
You could do a journey from Tower Hill to Tower Gateway.
District to West Ham; change for the Jubilee to Canning Town and then the DLR?
Or Fenchurch Street as well
@@1234minecraftable Fenchurch Street to Tower Gateway? Change at Limehouse.
Tower Hill to Fenchurch Street? One change at West Ham.
tower gateway > fenchurch street via tower hill
@@Farleigh1050 Bruh one year later and I'm still here 😂
Was half expecting you to have done this entirely on the Underground! A hilarious and well thought out series!
It would be fairly short,northern via bank one stop to King’s Cross,then the sub surfaces which is also one stop
It would’ve been funny if on reaching Harrow & Wealdstone you had decided to walk one mile to the Metropolitan Line station at Harrow-on-the-Hill for a connection to Euston Square .. Ironically walking much further to do that transfer than if you had simply walked to Euston Square in the first place.
Could've changed to the met at Kenton/Northick park osi
@@Mkeallison Yea that's the way I’d do it too.
I guess the ultimate Pointless Journey is Catford to Catford Bridge - considering they're so close you couldn't buy a paper ticket between them 🤣
There are plenty of other stations you can't buy a ticket between, all, if not pretty much all these pointless journeys are the same
Going to Watford Jcn would've been more pointless
Pointless, as the London overground route there is currently closed for maintenance 😂
Or up to Finchley Road on jubilee then down to Euston sq on the met
😂😂😂
Or to Birmingham would be the most pointless.
@@gonffc you should have sent him the fare lol
Was not another pointless video, really enjoyed this one. There so many ways you could had done that route I think but guessing that the best one.
Suggestion: Edenbridge to Edenbridge Town or Dorking to Dorking Deepdene
Dorking To Dorking Deepdene would be hilarious 🤣
While not well known, would you consider doing a pointless journey from Enfield Town to Enfield Chase, in North London? It’s ordinarily a ~10m walk between the two.
10 hours by train lol
Agreed, its a good idea to chase Enfield lol
Hi Nick another excellent video and I really enjoy the pointless Journey series. Thank you for making this video.
Pointless journey by bus. Route 462 on the Limes Farm Estate in Chigwell. Drives round a big loop and comes back to same spot about 5 mins later.
Edgware Road To Edgware Road is another good one
i've just discovered your channel, it's great. love the pointless journies.
I enjoyed this video look forward to seen my more
The starting point of my commute is Kenton station on the Bakerloo Line, and the end point is Northwick Park station on the Metropolitan, the walking distance between the two is 500 yards; but to avoid walking the 500 yards between those two points, I get a southbound Bakerloo Line to Baker Street, and then a westbound Metropolitan Line to Northwick Park station 🤣
love this channel....just discovered it today........
I was at Harrow and Wealdstone last October attempting The Tube Challenge. This video brought back memories
It looks like you are having a good time, I wish I were there to join you. Keep up the interesting videos.
this is a great concept
Going a bit further afield Tattenham Corner to Epsom Downs. You can walk it in about 20 minutes but will take you over an hour by train
Nice! Paddington Elizabeth line station to Paddington District line station next please. Only because I had to walk it last month and took a good 15 mins (flew in from the US and had a ticket Heathrow T3 to Crewe. Elizabeth line terminated at Paddington that day and had to walk to the other Paddington to get to Euston Square and on to Euston - which was faster with a suitcase to walk than from Paddington to Paddington 😂).
brilliant pointless journey keep up the awesome work
am wondering, after this series could you do journeys between stations far apart with similar names e.g. Mills Hill Mcr to Mill Hill Lancs (which I sorta managed to do :0), Swinton Mcr to Swinton Yorks or even Chester to Chester-le-Street
I hope you did New Cross to New Cross Gate whilst you were in London
Quite a short journey though?
@@quintuscrinis8032 Only if you go the obvious way!! More pointless via East Croydon I think.
You could have taken the Bakerloo to Embankment and then go via the Western part of the Circle Line, just to pass through both Edgware Road stations.
Love your videos
Great Video! You should try the journey from Dorking to Dorking Deepdene, it's normally a 10min wall between the 2 stations, but they're not connected by any trains
That's a good hour via woking
3:27 LOL changing at Baker Street
Euston - Bletchley - Bedford - Farringdon - Tottenham Court Road - Embankment - Euston Square.
Checking RTT at Euston for your train's platform is so funny to me lol. I wish they just planned it out better haha
It's planned perfectly fine. They won't announce the platform until the train is ready, no point having hundreds of people crowding the train whilst they are still cleaning/emptying bins etc.
Are quite a lot of stations in London you could do these journeys at or to.
Another idea for a useless journey is Hounslow to Hounslow Central (8 minutes by the H20 Bus, 15 minute walk)
Hounslow Railway station to Richmond via the Hounslow Loop train
Richmond to Turnham Green via District Line
Given that I don't think most people want to do this at horrendous hours, Turnham Green to Acton Town via District Line
Acton Town to Hounslow Central via Piccadilly Line.
I estimate this journey (not including waiting times) will take 36 minutes, probably closer to 45 minutes with waiting for trains.
Don't know if they've already been suggested. All have short street level walking distances. Caledonian Road & Barnsbury to Caledonian Road. Hertford North to East. South Acton to Acton Town. Arnos Grove to New Southgate. Bounds Green to Bowes Park. Both of the Harringay stations. Walthamstow Central/Queens Road.
Brilliant pointles journey video Nick, I deffo agree that 350/1's are far superior to 350/2's. :)
Great video! Can you do Beckenham Junction train station to Beckenham Junction tram station?
Nice one mate
I like how the map kind of looks like a bow
I got hopelessly lost in London and accidentally did this route nearly identically to you to these two stations last week
you could try going from edgware road bakerloo line to edgware road sub surface
Amazing video man
How about Manchester Oxford Road to Deansgate Station?
There must be some good ones in Glasgow, between the high level and low level termini.
Brill video! Subscribed too
Never understood what mode of transportation London Overground nor the Elizabeth Line. Are they Subways? Commuter? Regional? Idk
Also there’s Deansgate rail to Deansgate Castlefield Metrolink in Manchester, again across a slightly wider road than the Wigan stations!)
Or the covered overpass
@@lukeedwards8599 That’s not been covered for years
I wonder if you're up for the mammoth task of Kirkby to Kirkby or Ormskirk to Ormskirk...! ;)
I'm on the wcml at Leighton Buzzard Bedfordshire
Another great video. On a similar vein, I have a challenge for you, Kings Cross to St Pancras but not using the joint Underground station. Difficult but I reckon it can be done. Good luck 😄👍
I was going to suggest similar, could do it via nottingham or leicester and Peterborough or grantham!
Disappointingly, you can just change at finsbury park..
Good video.
Could you do edgware road sub surface to edgware road bakerloo line?
Please do a London bus route at Golders Green, the H2 Bus Route which starts from Golders Green and ends at Golders Green. Would like to see it :)
What about fenchurch Street to Tower Hill?
Real question especially for this one, how much did it cost?
Hahaha I use these London Northwestern Trains fairly regularly and they often split like this… I always choose the superior one!
I hate the 3 / 2 seat layout and no tables!
You should do Farringdon Tube station to National Rail and Elizabeth Line station
Next time, try flying London Heathrow to London Gatwich, via Australia :P
That's cool, but if you do it again, maybe do the Northern line via Bank from Euston to King's Cross and then change for Circle/H&C/Metropolitan and take it one stop westbound.
Nice video! What program do you use to make your animations?
After Effects!
Northern line from Euston to Kings Cross then Circle back to Euston Square, still probably quicker to walk.
I often thought Euston Square station is closer to Warren Street station.
Kan you do kings cross to st pancras or London Waterloo to the underground station
Pointless journey idea for you....
Catford to Catford Bridge! :D
In the same area you can also do Great Portland street station to Regents Park station. Otherwise in London also you can do Queensway station to Bayswater station, Wood Lane station to White city station and few others also
Warren Street to Euston Square - via Tottenham Court Road and Paddington
Yep
Are there any rules to the pointless journey (if that doesn’t sound oxymoronic, lol).. I live in boxmoor, Hemel Hempstead on the Euston line , so know all these stations well. Cool vlog
just thought , why dont you do one between Canary wharf (jubilee line) to Canary wharf (Elizabeth line) haha
Apparently, if the HS2 gets a connection to Euston then they will knock through a pedestrian tunnel to connect the Euston Northern-Victoria tube station to Euston Square which will then become 'Euston-Circle /Met / H&C Line Platforms'
This one made me laugh as Euston square IS the London underground station for Euston station and both are just a short walk apart.
No, Euston's underground station is the London Underground station for Euston not Euston Square.
If you are going to travel to London at lease use an Overground from Euston .
2:42 there is a c2c aventra
you should do Waterloo to Waterloo east
It’s like how to London overground
I recon you should do Catford to Catford Bridge next if you can.
Geoff Marshall has done that before
@@squagwag2808 yh ik
Love the videos. How about Lichfield Trent Valley High Level to LTV Low Level as a pointless journey if you are ever in the midlands, and/or indeed Tamworth High Level and Tamworth Low Level. A West Midlands Dayranger could make it affordable.
Can you let us know the journey duration next time ?
you should do the Heathrow terminals
Can you do a video seeing if lime street to chester is faster on merseyrail or tfw
compare like prices, ride experience etc and see which is better
That was done recently by TicoSprinter when he raced PEP EMU FAN from Chester to Liverpool
I’ve walked from Euston Square to Euston and yeah it does seem pointless.
Aldgate to Aldgate East can be another one to do
Do great Portland street to regent's park
You could have added a Thameslink leg
Only a pointless journey if you're a member of the public just going from A to B, but actually an interesting little outing for a railway enthusiast who is exploring some of the lines in London
Do St Albans abbey to at Albans city
2:43 Is my new class 720’s
Please do Waterloo east to Waterloo. No particular reason other than It's probably the most pointless journey you could ever do 😅
you should do dagenham heathway to dagenham dock
Now do Hammersmith (Hammersmith and City Line) to Hammersmith (District/Piccadilly Line).
Did that cost you extra on your card?
could have got the bank branch of the northen line from euston to kingscross or moorgate then got the met line
Bethnal Green OG to Bethnal Green Central line would be good.
Try Catford to Catford Bridge
Do Paddington to Paddington to Paddington next (yes there's 3 of them)
Or there are five stations at Kings Cross / St Pancras. I guess to travel from St Pancras International to one of the other ones, you would need a passport and a ferry ticket.
I'm going to be That Person, and point out that the interchange platforms between Overground and Bakerloo at Queens Park is actually on the north side of the West Coast Main Line, and not as your maps show it.
He could also go from Euston to kings x St Pancras and from there to Euston Square. But I guess that’s not London Euston. He could have also just got the overground to queens pk. But it was still a good vid keep up the good work.👏👏👏👍👍👍
Plz do King’s Cross to St Pancras
Why not just take a Northern or Victoria Line train from Euston to Kings Cross St Pancras and change there for the Circle Line to Euston Square?
Euston-Kings X St Pan. Int-Euston Sq OR walk:am I a joke?
