The largest roundel is at Brixton tube station, above the entrance!

We're not going to judge you Nick fir wanting more time on a Jubilee line train. In fact, we're all here for it. Thanks for the video 👍

I really love these pointless journeys, reminds me about myself who like to do similar pointless journeys.

Wonderfully pointless yet fun journey! BTW, the ‘FROM UNDER THE GLACIER’ thing is one of the three Darren Almond art pieces, in this case "Time Line", that was commissioned for the station. As for the meaning, as per the TFL Art site: "‘FROM UNDER THE GLACIER’ reminds us of a much slower passage of time: how our journey through this network of tunnels has literally cut through geological time itself." So now you know :)

Ealing Broadway Elizabeth line to Ealing Broadway Tube station will take an entertainingly long time depending on the route you take. One such example route: Ealing (Liz) to Paddington (Liz), Paddington (Praed Street) to Earl’s Court (district), Earl’s Court (Piccadilly) to Acton Town (or Ealing Common), and finally Ealing Broadway (District).

Actually this method is useful for escaping the extra fare due to exiting a national rail platform. For example, if you want to go to Canada Water (Zone 2) from Cheshunt (Zone 8), you could tap out at Liverpool Street and change between National Rail and London Underground at Liverpool Street directly, charging you £4.4. However, if you do this "pointless journey", you wouldn't need to tap out at Liverpool Street, and TfL would only charge you £3.6, as your journey would be regarded as "not via Zone 1".

Geoff Marshall - "Damn, why didn't I think of that ?"

Very good video! A pointless journey suggestion: Walton to Rice Line via Ormskirk, Preston, Bolton, Wigan Wallgate and Kirkby!

Good to see you back down in London! I really love how unique this series is

Nice to see you in my turf. If you are down this way again, try Southend Victoria to Southend Central. A 500 yard walk will take a couple of hours by train 😆. I might have a go myself. Great video by the way 👍

I so enjoyed the utter futility of your journey, keep up the good work

A brilliant pointless journey video, I like how you went the scenic route rather than doing that quick route you could of done, it always makes the journey more interesting. :)

I've been thinking that Geoffs getting near retirement. Good to know the succession is sorted.

Hi Nick what an excellent and very enjoyable video. I really enjoy you showing us the different trains and riding on them.

brilliant pointless Journey i really enjoyed this one heres a fee ideas for you for London how about from Paddington Mainline platforms to the Underground platforms Farrington Thameslink to Elizabeth Line or Elephant & castle national rail station to the underground station keep up the awesome work

another amazing video as always!

There’s 1 station with high and low level platforms that was opened recently and you could go form the low level to the high level without walking directly

Nice vid!! I was thinking of Farringdon Tube to Farringdon Elizabeth Line or Thameslink or West Hampstead Tube or Overground to West Hampstead Thameslink, you've got a pretty nice triangle to give a go. Cheers! 😁😁

Great videos buddy I liked and Subscribed for more and I have binged your whole channel

Here's another pointless journey in London: From Waterloo low-level to Waterloo mainline: 1. Take the Jubilee Line from Waterloo (low level) to Westminster (5 mins) 2. Take the River Bus from Westminster Pier to North Greenwich Pier (45 mins) 3. Take the Emirates Airline across the river to Royal Docks (20 mins) 4. Take the DLR from Royal Victoria to Stratford (10-15 mins) 5. Take the London Overground from Stratford to Richmond via Gospel Oak (1 hour) 6. Richmond to Waterloo (mainline) on Southwestern Trains (15-20 mins) Total journey time c. 3 hours but you get to see an awful lot of London and use 6 different modes of public transport!

The roundels on the Jubilee Line platforms at Canary Wharf are pretty big, but I think the biggest one has to be at the entrance to Brixton Station on the Victoria Line!!

If you're ever in Glasgow again, there's potential for pointless railway journeys there and it's not easy to pick one, as you have Glasgow Central, Glasgow Central (low level), Glasgow Queen Street, and Glasgow Queen Street (low level) all in rather close proximity to one another. Also, I will probably use this as inspiration for pointless journeys where I live.

Journey suggestion: St Pancras main Line to Kings Cross St Pancras via Paris 1: Get the Eurostar to Paris 2: Get the Eurostar back but get off at Ashford 3: Get a Javelin to Stratford International 4: Get the DLR to Stratford 5: Get the Overground to Euston (changing at Wilsden Junction) 6: Get the Victoria Line to Kings Cross St Pancras maybe one for the future once Eurostar start running services to Ashford again

So while the platform roundels are bigger at Canary Wharf, it's not the biggest roundels on the network. That'd be the big bugger above the main entrance of Brixton.

I enjoyed your pointless journey very much. Where I live in the US, we do not have rail transport, so I enjoy seeing yours. Keep up the good work.

Deffo agree about Canary wharf, to me the Jubilee line extension feels like the spiritual predecessor to Crossrail

Love these vlogs - something different

Oooooh yes, now this is exactly the kind of quirks I'm looking for! There's quite a few possible pointless journeys from where I'm from, and I've always wondered if I was the only one who was interested in these. Consider me a new subscriber

Love Nick in London. Great vid!

You could have gotten of the Jubilee Line at Westminster for the District line to Ealing Broadway and then either Liz-line to Liverpool Street or Central Line to Bond Street to add a little pointlessness :) Or with the Jubilee line to Green Park, Piccadilly Line to Acton Town/ Ealing Common and then District line to Ealing Broadway and continuing as mentioned.

You can always do it more pointless than just this, eg Liverpool high level -> GA train to Stratford -> DLR to Canning Town -> Jubilee line to Canary Wharf -> Elizabeth line to Whitechapel -> District/H&C to Mile End -> Central line to Liverpool Street 7 lines and zero displacement 😂😂😂

Idea: London Waterloo (main) to London Waterloo East SWR to Reading (change if necessary) Elizabeth Line to Custom House DLR to Poplar DLR to Lewisham SouthEastern to London Waterloo East

The editing is amazing

That just reminds me of when I some similar in Glasgow back in August last were I went from Glasgow Central to Glasgow Queen Street via the 2 low levels , which was really fun. Were I only used Scotrail off course .

Great series!! Definitely need to try wigan north western to wigan wallgate and of course, Kirkby to Kirkby!

I love these videos, they’re quite entertaining! Couple of suggestions, Glasgow Queen Street to Central. A pointless journey I’ve done plenty times😂 Edinburgh Park/Gateway/Haymarket to Waverley. Newcastle Central to Newcastle Central - Metro to National Rail.

great video, subscribed! in the next pointless journey maybe it would be a fun idea to time how long it would take to travel the "normal way" from high to low level, and then compare it with the other time!

I see this as my sign to go absolutely and completely random around London during my lunch break 😂 maybe it will do me good to be completely off schedule and just hop on and off whenever and whatever

Enjoyed the London edition of Pointless Journeys, any excuse to head to Bond Street lol

Didyou record corresponding Paddington addition when you were in London? You can do the same at St Pancras of course and Moorgate.

I'll go on that journey nick Great channel .

Love these types of videos. One suggestion I have could be Runcorn to Runcorn East? They’re my hometown train stations and I travel to them frequently as I’m a university student.

Very good, Canning Town is a mad station. How about Manchester Piccadilly using Metrolink, Birmingham New Street using Midlands Metro and Reading Southern lines to Reading Western lines potential via Windsor.

I totally agree with you Nick. But very good video. 👍😂

Love the video, I would love to see Smethwick Galton bridge Lower over to higher level

I go Liverpool Street all the time awesome video

From The Glossary magazine: Almond’s other two pieces - ‘Shadow Line’ and ‘Time Line’ - are based around the tradition of naming early British locomotives with cast bronze nameplates, though these ones bear the poetic phrases ‘Reflect from your shadow’ and ‘From under the glacier’. All three abstract works, say Crossrail, serve to remind the passenger about the mechanics of time and place, and the daily rhythm of the station: descent, ascent, arrival and departure.

Pointless journeys suggestions: * Heath High Level to Heath Low Level * Worcestershire Parkway high level platform to Worcestershire Parkway low level platforms

This was joyous! I love this concept so much. Why take the escalator when you can take MORE TRAINS instead?

Yes I agree, Canary Wharf JL has some resemblance to Paddington EL.

Nick, try Ealing Broadway to Ealing Broadway vi Hatton Cross & Southall, or Hatton Cross to Hatton Cross via the Healthrow loop, or even (the other end of London) Leytonstone to Leytonstone via Hainault. Perhaps Forest Gate to Forest Gate via Romford & Upmister. Final suggestion is to take a ride on the Glasgow Underground, you'll be going round in circles all day.

An issue with the Aventra's is the Electric-Only. I'd probably personally go for some Class 755's with the Bi-mode and dropped doors for accessibility

it also shows the transit choices that London offers you. i wish Boston was like London.

Of course, there are all sorts of permutations for Liverpool street high level to low level- including the intercity route via Cambridge and Ipswich

you should do the Farringdon to Barbican loop by train and then Elizabeth line platforms, and then add in some extra pointless loop to somewhere else

Great video. An idea would be to go from Catford to Catford Bridge Stations, as next door to each other

How about a Glasgow episode? Partick to Partick, using various permutations of Scotrail and the Subway (a unique underground railway!)

Great vlog Nick I have an idea of 2 pointless journeys you could do, Tamworth High Level to Tamworth Low Level & SmethwickGaltonBridge High Level to SmethwickGaltonBridge Low Level.

How about doing a pointless journey from Cheshunt to Cheshunt, on the Greater Anglia line from Cambridge and on the Overground line by Seven Sisters.

Portsmouth and Southsea high to Portsmouth and Southsea low would be quite good - if you did it soon you could feature a class 313 before they get retired later this month.

Southend Central to Southend Victoria would be a great one!

You should do Lichfield Trent valley. It’ll take quite a while considering there’s no connections on the cross city line until Aston

Waterloo to Waterloo East has various possiblities

Canning Town (Low Level) to Canning Town (High Level) would make an excellent Pointless Journey to try. You could do: Jubilee Line to Stratford, Central Line to Bank and DLR back to Canning Town.

At 3.47, that was a lie. The largest roundel is at Brixton for Underground (confirmed) & i believe, for overground its Dalston Junction but i may be incorrect.

Based, I think you should find the most convoluted one in London. I'm sure by using a mega hub like paddington, baker street or kings cross st pancras you can do some wild and whacky ones

Could always do Kenton to Northwick Park or vice versa

Hey Nick, I have a pointless journey for you 😀 and it's in London. Its between New Southgate (National Rail) and Arnos Grove (Underground). The route would consist of New Southgate to Arnos Grove with a change at Finsbury Park I am a subscriber and watched many of the pointless journey videos

You speak for us ALL when you ask for aventras up north!

could have just done Stratford to Liverpool Street low level, on an ex-Shenfield service, but this is much more fun

Can you do it with platform crossing only?

Can you do from platform to platform and if you go one the same plat as earlier you are ou

Have you done Paddington to Paddington on the circle line yet?

Follow the step free Liverpool Street (Elizabeth line) to Liverpool Street Circle line takes you out at Moorgate and back by train!

You could do St Pancras/King's Cross Higher to lower level

If you're ever on tyneside I've got a pointless journey for you. Monument to Monument on the metro system. It has 4 platforms, all within a 1-minute walk, but you can go to South shields from the lower platform, walk to the ferry, ferry to North shields, shuttle bus back to the metro station, then metro to Monument and arrive on the upper platform. All on one ticket.

Isn't the roundel that's above the entrance to Brixton station much bigger than that one?

so when do we get Waterloo to Waterloo east?

Loving the pointless journeys. How's about. Man Vic to Piccadilly but can only leave eastwards and arrive from the West. Wallgate to Northwestern Shotton high level to Low level. Forester Square to Interchange without going through Leeds The ultimate would be Waverley to Haymarket but not direct.

I am sure that the idea, like Euston and Euston square is that patrons are supposed to walk between the two stations but if you insist going the long way round. Next do worcestershire parkway high level to low level.

I really thought u were going to walk to Moorgate through the Elizabeth line station and take the train back or something

3:47 largest roundel is at Brixton entrance

Relax Nick Aventuras are coming to LNWR. (Class 730/1 & 730/2) serving Crewe, Liverpool and Stoke on Trent. If that's considered North? (Coming from Kernow the North starts at Tiverton Parkway where my Railcard runs out) I love this journey which I call confuse TfL contactless. Is Canary Wharf Jubilee the opposite of Hanwell the Most Great Western Railway station on the Elizabeth Line.

Do Paddington District to Slammersmith and Pity (Hammersmith and City)

Didn't expect these lengths of pointlessness before clickling. Have you considered Preston Park - London Road (Brighton) via Wivelsfield and Lewes?

How about Chester to Chester Nick? Chester-Liverpool Lime Street via Merseyrail, then Liverpool Lime Street-Chester via TFW).

Was quietly hoping that you would shoe-horn in moorgate given that it is now connected to Liverpool St

Have you ever done New Street to Moor Street in Birmingham?

Should have started by taking the Stansted Express to Tottenham Hale then back to Stratford.

Isn’t the largest roundel at Brixton?

Can you do this without climbing any stairs or using any escalators or lifts? Just changing lines and exiting/entering stations would be sufficient, thank you very much.

I'm going to suggest some journeys forgive me if the list is long or incorrect or you've already done any of them. Kent: Edenbridge to Edenbridge Town. Maidstone West to Maidstone East. Canterbury East to Canterbury West. Other places: Bromley South to Bromley North. East Croydon to West Croydon. Southend Victoria to Southend Central. St. Albans city to st. Albans Abbey. Birmingham New Street to Birmingham Moor Street. Dorchester West to Dorchester South. Yeovil pen Mill to Yeovil Junction. Hertford East to Hertford North. Coulsdon South to Coulsdon Town. Ewell West to Ewell East. Watford tube stop to Watford Junction train station. Whyteleafe to Upper Whyteleafe. Catford to catford Bridge.

Have you done a P J from Catford to Catford Bridge......?

You could have gone: Elizabeth Line (low level) to Forest Gate Out of station interchange to Wanstead Park Overground to Walthamstow Queens Road Out of station interchange to Walthamstow Central London overground Liverpool Street ('upper level')

How far did you walk?

maidenhead to Twyford is a pointless journey and Twyford to Reading is appointments journey and Walgrave to Twyford it is also a pointless journey

"DLR to Canning Town and change from the Jubilee line from there" HAHAHA! I've done this, both by force and for fun! either way it's always ridiculous, makes you wonder why they even bother having both. Just make the Jubilee's terminus Straford International already!

canary warth is on the elizabeth line

You should do a pointless journey between Farnborough Main and Farnborough North.

Walthamstow central to Walthamstow queen's Rd, might be an easy challenge, but definitely pointless
