- I took a trip from Moreton (Dorset) to Moreton (Merseyside) via Moreton-in-Marsh. It was quite the endeavour.

The custom sounds were anazing😂
what does anazing mean?
How about Osterley (Piccadilly line) to Frosterley (Weardale steam railway)? Would make for a pretty varied journey!
Assuming this is done on a Saturday (because the Weardale's weekday timetable doesn't serve Bishop Auckland, this is very easy: Piccadilly line to King's Cross 1W16 12:00 - 14:22 Darlington Bank Top 2D31 :55 - 15:21 Bishop Auckland 16:15 - 17:02 Frosterley.
For a bit more bite, I'm going to make an arbitrary rule that we can only pass through stations that contain the letter O. This takes place over a weekend, starting at 5pm on Friday:
Osterley - Acton - Sudbury Town on the tube, Sudbury & Harrow Road 2R51 17:37 - 17:47 South Ruislip 114 :55 - 18:04 Ruislip Bus Station U1 :05 - :26 Uxbridge 724 :49 - :58 Denham village, walk to Golf Club 2W58 19:40 - :58 High Wycombe 1T59 20:16 - :25 Princes 2A61 21:08 - :11 Monks Risborough X9 :30 - 21:55 Aylesbury X6 06:00 - 7:17 Milton Keynes Central 1Y15 8:08 - :51 Long Buckby 96 9:13 - 10:09 Rugby 25X 11:20 - 12:13 Coventry 148 :17 - 13:06 Nuneaton 1N51 :16 - :31 Coleshill 1D64 :53 - 14:19 Burton-on-Trent X38 :40 - 15:13 Derby Cock Pit :30 - :36 Spondon 2A31 :55 - 16:26 Nottingham 90 :31 - 17:26 Newark 1F27 17:46 - 18:38 York NX436 4:15 - 5:20 Middlesbrough 2N03 8:32 - :43 Stockton X66 9:40 - 10:14 Darlington Bank Top 2D15 :55 - 11:21 Bishop Auckland 12:15 - 13:02 Frosterley
epic video, Nick! those sound recreations were funny AF
They where funny!
Yes lol
Fr lol
Tried my best!
Marvellous, indistinguishable from the real thing..
What a way to finish of your trip down south. Hope you come back again soon 🙂
Was a very very fun time! Would love to return!
Three Oaks to Four Oaks to Sevenoaks! Its a pointless journey/point to point, and a maths sum :)
I like that idea.
There are in fact *three* stations in the UK named "University", which would make for a particularly lengthy point to point to point (including a ferry).
I can think of a few more points to points, such as Ashford to Ashford, Mill Hill to Mill Hill and as you said University to University as well as Stratford to Stratford.
Mill Hill (Blackburn) to Mills Hill (Greater Manchester) to Mill Hill Broadway (North London) would be epic!
and mill hill east (northern line)
Northumberland Park to Northumberland Park will be possible when the Newcastle version eventually opens, only the Metro version exists at the moment.
Stratford to Stratford via Stafford
11:34 there's a point-to-point for a video Nick
10:45
The reason the platforms are so long, are to futureproof - Worcestershire Council wants some of the longer distance XC services to stop at parkway eventually, and in fact, during engineering works, they have before, including the HSTs and 10 car voyagers.
Great video as always Nick!
I was going say that. Glad you got in the extra detail
Ahhh of course!
@@stephenreardon2698 I remember seeing photos of one of the HST sets terminating there. It was the perfect length, barely any room at either end!
@@NickBadleyHi! Im from Evesham. The trains are always busy after Oxford which is really annoying.
Future proofing? On the UK rail network? I didn't think that was allowed
Those sounds at Morton-in-Marsh were brilliant LOL, great video and it felt like the boss of point to point
Lovely video nick! I live near there Moreton Mersey
same!
Same!
A point through point to point suggestion...
St Pancras Midland Mainline, then through St Pancras Thameslink, then SouthEastern High Speed to St Pancras HighSpeed platforms. It could also count as a Pointless Journey.
Of course if you want to really push the boat out (by not using a boat!) you could take the International train through the Tunnel.
Brian.
Charing Cross Glasgow to Charing Cross London, without using the East or West Coast Mainlines south of Carlisle and Berwick Upon Tweed. Could pave the way for some spectacular route planning!
Great video, Nick! That was quite an endeavour!
Always enjoy long rides to places with many different trains!
Why are there so many moreton stations? Great video Nick! Will miss the old merseyrail PEPs . Have a pointless journey suggestion too, Wigan wall gate to Wigan North western . Really like these videos 👍
For something more epic, do Prestonpans (Scotland) to Preston (Lancs) to Preston Park (Brighton). Funnily enough, I've done a point-to-point by accident last Saturday, as I've went past Mill Hill Broadway on my way to St Albans and just before returning home from London, I ended up going through Mill Hill (Blackburn) just before my local station. That reminds me, you should also try Mill Hill (Blackburn) to Mills Hill (Greater Manchester) to Mill Hill Broadway (North London).
St Albans CIty to St Albans Abbey is a pointless one to add to the list.
Brian.
Glad you finally visited three stations with the same name. It's a shame Moretonhampstead in Devon doesn't have a train station.
Epic nick. You must be exhausted!
Wow that’s a long old journey, nice Job Nick!
Point to point via point! Great video Nick
Single TfW dogboxes are used on the Crewe-Shrewsbury service, i took it a few weeks ago, great fun
When you said Stafford my heart went happy cuz that’s my home town
brilliant video as always nick I saw you in crewe when you were recording so thought id stay away
that was an epic journey lots of veriety of trains & TOCs brilliant video
I film in the quiet carriage, keeping my voice down. Usually though I am not the loudest passenger in there, as somebody else has brought a toddler.
(At Crewe)
67 and MK4s in shot "there's an interesting train I saw while pulling in"
*Looks at a 153*
Moreton in Merseyside my home town I live literally a 3 minute walk away from the station, used to travel a lot on Merseyrail when I was in my teens (before I owned a car) and my dad worked as a train guard for Merseyrail back in the 90s so have very fond memories of the 507s and 508s!
Ahhh another amazing point to point, probably my favourite so far!
Heath High Level to Heath Low Level.
Cardiff Queen Street to Glasgow Queen Street
Every 'Parkway' as quick as possible
Great video! ~ Daniel
I really enjoyed watching this video. Thank you for uploading this 😊😊
My two pinches of salt: ¦ headnote: Moreton Dorn station serves a campsite, so my accommodation is to pack a tent.
1W54 Moreton Dorn 9:39 - 11:17 Winchester 1M42 :34 - 12:38 Oxford 1W02 :45 - 13:18 Moreton-in-Marsh
1W02 Moreton-in-Marsh 13:19 - 14:44 Hereford 1W60 15:00 - :57 Shrewsbury 1D15 16:25 - 17:02 Wrx General 2F90 :45 - 18:45 Bidston 2W47 :55 - :59 Moreton-on-the-Wirral
How about Seaford to Sleaford (Lincolnshire). From down south to Up north in Lincolnshire
always love seeing you at worcestershire, please visit the other stations soon!!!
Love it Nick. Have you done the Worcestershire Parkway Pointless yes??
Yes, 6 months ago on this channel. I don't think I can put the link here, but search for "Worcestershire Parkway High Level to Low Level"
Really excellent video! An impressive number of changes though im sure you could do it with 1 or 2 less
You do like the 'back of a seat' shot!
Have you considered doing "pwynt i bwynt" - Point to point but in Welsh?
You could do Pen-y-bont to Pen-y-bont or perhaps more fittingly Porth to Borth
there is a nonzero chance i boarded that exact train that went to liverpool lime street. also i got to board the 730s for the first time! its so prettyyy
Great vid!
Idea for a pointless journey, West Hampsted Underground to Overground to National Rail (or in the order you want)
Chichester (West Sussex) to Chichester (Tyne and Wear) and Blythe Bridge to Blyth Bebside would be a good idea after the Northumberland Line opens.
Berney Arms to Portsmouth Arms would be a challenge
Can you do Gillingham to Gillingham?
Excellent video as always!! Tuna and cucumber a good choice IMO 🤣
A point to point idea, and a journey that I've done myself (for actual travel purposes too!) is to go from Narberth (Pembrokeshire) to Narborough (Leicestershire), which is one of my locals!
Next challenge: Moreton to Moreton via Moreton-in-Marsh AND Moreton-on-Lugg
I could just sense the ambivalence / mild disappointment of 'oh it's a 777' hahah
I knew this would be fun point to point as soon as I saw the title.
Please do Rainham (Greater London) to Rainham (Kent)
11:34 is that a hint for another video nick
You should have done a 10-hour video off every train of every station
A more extreme version of this would be to take a trip from Brest in France to Brest in Belarus via Břest in the Czech Republic...
You're a great voice actor!
Such an interesting video ! you do it so I don't have to
Railway platforms always used to be really long, Nick - it's only been over the past 40 years that BR and its successors have been cutting them back and (often) leaving an outer end to return to nature...! If I'm not mistaken, they cater for all the train types that provide the services along line - or could do so in future; with a handful of places including Crewe, Preston and Carlisle having special dispensations for Caledonian Sleeper services, as these are in fact longer that any of their platforms, between London and Carstairs / Edinburgh Waverley! Small stations served only by local services may just be 3 - 8 cars long, depending on their age; Worcestershire Parkway on the other hand is likely to be looking ahead to when Cross Country eventually ditch the Voyager, and hopefully replace it with something less cramped! If you ever make it to Scotland's Parliamentary service between Dundee and Carnoustie, take a good look at Barry Links station, which doesn't just have closed platform sections stretching off to near-infinity; it also has extra-wide footbridges that allowed soldiers to march across them in their formations!! n Yet today it is served on weekdays only by one train in each direction - usually a 2-car class 158 or a 3-car class 170! And go to Perth, whose platform 4 is the longest in Scotland - long enough for trains of 23 Mk 1 coaches, no less! Perth must also be a contender for the most underused large stations too, with 7 of its original 9 platforms still in use - part of the two north-facing bays still visible, but long-since converted into a DMU servicing facility!
Moreton in mash reminds me of Wanbrough
What about Arlesford to Arlesford (Hampshire)?
Very interesting point.
How many other names have doubles or even trebles?
I'm sure you're well aware that there are place names which appear SEVERAL times across the country, but I dont know how many STATION names have copies.?
i love this video , very inspiring, you could do charing cross in London to Charing Cross in Glasgow
Brighton to New Brighton:
Brighton-London Victoria
London Victoria-Marylebone
Marylebone-Birmingham Moor St.
Birmingham-Crewe
Crewe-Liverpool Lime St.
Liverpool-New Brighton
(I put Marylebone instead of Euston for some added route)
Do bank(tube+DLR)-bank hall(Mersyside)-bank foot(Tyne and wear metro)
Great video
7:33 u should do East Kilbride to West Kilbride
you could have gone to shrub hill to get to smethwick galton bridge and get a service to crewe or lime street
got a suggestion for point to point Barton upon humber to marsh Barton
Do Clapham(Yorkshire) to Clapham Junction!
I wanted you to do moreton!
You should do NorWICH to IpsWICH but not direct (Via london)
bromley north to bromley south
thanks for shopping at tesco
Do Gillingham (Dorset) to Gillingham (Kent)
You should really go to Moreton Kebab House some day
never heard of moreton before and was checking the city line thinking it was like a hidden merseyrail station or something near st helens... before realising its in the wirral and thats why ive never heard of it cause i dont ever go on the wirral and im looking in the wrong place 😶
Pity you couldn't film much out of the window between Worcester and Birmingham - it would have been fitting to get a glimpse of Cadbury's at Bournville considering they celebrated their 200th birthday the day before you posted this
Quite supprised you bothered with Avanti from Birmingham to Crewe when the connecting Liverpool train (LNW) starts at Birmingham
Worcestershire parkway is my least favourite station and here is why. It is the most windiest enclosed station I have ever been to, my trains was cancelled 3 times and I was stuck and for a new station it is really dead, the most amount of people I’ve seen there is 8 including station staff (of which there was 3.) seriously annoys me that you are always cold and the only way to get warm is to leave the station.
Hove in England
to Hove in Belgium please Nick.
Newport IOW -> Newport Gwent -> Newport Essex go go go! \m/
Interesting route. Did you consider the alternative (shorter and, arguably prettier) routing:
Moreton- Dorchester- Bristol - Moreton (via W Parkway)- Hereford- Chester- Moreton?
Why are you leaving Bournemouth for the last time?
What about Radcliffe (Nottinghamshire) to Radcliffe (Greater Manchester)
maidstone west to maidstone barracks via maidstone east?
Point to Point idea.
Hexham - Wrexham
Hexham - Carsile (Northern)
Carsile - Wigan (Avanti West Coast)
Wigan - Liverpool Lime Street (Northern)
Liverpool Lime Street - Chester (Mersyrail)
Chester - Wrexham (Transport For Wales)
Would M in Marsh-Hereford-Chester-Birkenhead have been easier than Birmingham-Crewe-Lime St?
Does a point to point completely over two days strictly count? 🤣
Tuna and cucumber 😭
Burscough bridge to burscough junction
For pointless journeys do Stratford to Stratford International or Walthamstow Central to Walthamstow Queens Road
What abt Burneside to burnside?
9:58 series inside of a series??
You should do Dorking to Dorking Deepdene pointless journey.
Aylesbury to Aylesford
Love your channel mr so cheers me up when watching and if Your on XC in future unreserved carriages on your 5 car is F And B
And just F on the. 4 car
Now you are on a train to stations
Often wondered why it is Worcestershire Parkway and not Worcester Parkway ?
Because it was paid for by the county council & isn't in the city
@@stephenreardon2698 I thought Parkway Stations were generally outside of the town in their name , so using that logic Worcestershire Parkway should be in , say , Herefordshire
@@Battismore-Blue: The first Parkway Station was named after the local road, not because it is a park and ride sort of set up, but the name works for that and so it has been adopted all over the shop!
Brian.
an avanti train that was neither cancelled or late? whut?
Rainham to Rainham (Gillingham)
I saw the 67 and dvt you saw in your video
rare times when gwr is early 5:29
Be glad none of the 9 stations in Greenock have the name of local football club Morton in it. Otherwise, your Mega journey would have been even longer
