I totally agree with you about the now misnamed Circle line, as do millions of Londoners. Also you're spot on with the visual effect created by the yellow and pink colours next to each other. Little did you know but the yellow used to have a thin black border to avoid this. Despite my somewhat gruff first comment, you haven't done half bad sir. Returning to the Paddington/Edgware Road station confusion and listening again to your comments about lots of construction hoardings, I have a horrible feeling that someone sent you a good mile out of your way above ground to Edgware Road tube station instead of the simple five metres walk from the departure boards at Paddington down to its tube station. That would explain the wrong footage I got high~handed about. Bon voyage!
Thank you so much JP for your thoughtful comments and taking time to fact-check my video as a local! You were absolutely right about the mixing up of Paddington and Edgeware stations. I thought something was wrong with the Edgware footage when editing, but could not quite place it. After you pointing it out, I remembered that I rode the Circle line from Paddington for only one stop and frantically switched to Hammersmith at Edgware. I think I was confused with the T-junction of Circle Line at Edgware and thought the training was going in the opposite direction of King's Cross. I will never find out what I was seeing or thinking at that point. My video camera was off during the short Circle line ride in the haze and confusion of the travel. That was the fun of the travel, wasn't it? I will made a note of correction in the video description to for the future viewers.
All you needed to do was jump on the Piccadilly Line tube that goes directly to Kings Cross. Runs every 10 minutes, which makes up for other links where you need to change. Also Eurostar uses St Pancras which is the station next door.
Great video! You did well to navigate the system & get to King's Cross. As for Heathrow airport getting to the tube station is a lot simpler and quicker if a passenger arrives at Terminal 3 rather than Terminal 2. Heathrow airport like to say the tube station is shared but in reality it means people have to walk from T2 to T3.😂
Hi and good on you for intending to make a helpful video. As a Londoner I have been biting my tongue more and more until this point 3:22 where I felt that I had to pause it and say my piece. Presumably the first time visitor is not going to use this video frame by frame but, I don't think that it's fair that the footage you show starts repeating and now at "Paddington" you actually give us film of some stairs down to the tube platforms at a completely different station, namely Edgware Road (as can be seen on the signs here 3:18). I don't think that I am being controversial when I say that if you're setting yourself out as a guide for first time visitors, your first concern should be that _everything_ is correct. Perhaps it got mixed up in the editing. All you have to do to correct it is remove the (slightly incomprehensible to me) rant about adverts at 3mins and replace it with sthg like "To the left of these departure boards you'll find the steps and escalators down to the tube to King's Cross Saint Pancras."
