@darrellleverkuhn2204 Год назад

I’ve only recently subscribed. I think your videos are great and I love the pointless journeys, and the fact you come across as yourself and seem so comfortable on camera. Not sure what you’re studying in school (though I’m sure you’ll be quite successful at it) but I truly feel you have a great future doing videos.

Happy 1 year anniversary, Nick! Watching a pointless journey is always a peaceful and relaxing way to pass time, there's something very comforting about them. Looking forward to more years on the way.

@alloallie Год назад

I just subscribed. Congratulations on one year of awesome rail content. Here's to more ! I wouldn't say these Pointless Journeys really are pointless, though. It's more about exploring the interchanges between different rail systems/companies.

@TheShaunbaxtershow Год назад

Keep up the good work, I do enjoy the journey

@one42chrisp Год назад

Great vid Nick! A tip for 769s is that at one end of the train there's an ex first class bit with massive seats and 2 +1 seating!

@JBFlytography Год назад

I’m old enough to remember - and quite like - Scotrail 150s being 3 plus 2 transverse seating. Before they were to Wales. Congrats on the year. Not long subscribed but your videos are always entertaining and really well edited!

@nickmendes5458 Год назад

Happy anniversary! One of these days I'm going to bump into you somewhere on the Merseyrail network. If you ever find yourself pointlessly in Glasgow you'll find an abundance of pointless opportunities between Glasgow Central (High Level) and (Low Level), and Glasgow Queen Street (High Level) and (Low Level) plus several other stations in the city centre where walking is most likely quicker than catching a train.

@RoseRodent Год назад

Thought of you today when I nearly ended up on a macro pointless journey. Lift issue had me come up from London Kings Cross then immediately transfer to the London Euston train. Thankfully to get off almost immediately, but I'm weirdly tempted now!

@elisouille_buscarscamions Год назад

Happy 1 year of videos, I'm not here since the beginning but, yes... I really enjoy your videos and your concepts.

Hey Nick! I live in Burscough and well done for correcting the pronunciation. Glad you could stop by. Ps I say Meols Cop not Meals Cop.

@AndrewG1989 Год назад

Southport used to have a train that ran along the pier before it was taken out. Shame really because Southport Pier would attract more tourists if the pier train was still there.

Great videos on your channel - keep going. Have you ever considered a triple whammy, all three West Hampstead stations? Maybe this has been suggested, but, ...

@tommarshall1660 6 месяцев назад

Another good video Nick, as a matter of interest, what do your friends at Uni. think about your pointless journeys?

@markmonaghan3968 Год назад

Hi Nick....congratulations on your 1 year RU-vid milestone. I enjoy your pointless journeys series and how you present your videos. With regards to Meols Cop pronunciation, like most things there is no real wrong way to pronounce it. However, I grew up in Southport and lived near to Meols cop at one point. I remember it was always pronounced 'Meels' cop. I actually also lived on the Wirral and Meols on the Wirral was always pronounced 'Mells'. Meols cop in Southport gets its name from the old North Meols, which was actually a separate place from Southport. At that time Southport was known as South Hawes. Hawes is the old name for Sand dunes. I hope this information was helpful. Oh! Did you know, people from Southport are called 'Sandgrounders'. Look forward to seeing some more of you creations, Nick. All the best, Mark.

@TheTriumfAnt Год назад

As a former Sandgrounder, I always pronounced it "Meels" as well. I didn't know the info about Hawes, so thanks for that.

@the-real-iandavid Год назад

According to Wikipedia: Meols Cop is pronounced Meels, but Meols, Wirral is pronounced Mells.

@garybroadhurst3548 Месяц назад

Just to be different: my family are from Wigan going back a few generations and they always pronounced it Moles - like the animals. As Mark said above, I guess there's really no right and wrong and does it really matter anyway?

@markmonaghan3968 Месяц назад

@@garybroadhurst3548 Hi Gary, that's interesting. I am familiar with the Wigan accent so when I imagined hearing the pronunciation in that particular dialect, it made sense to me👍🏼

Brilliant video Nick and happy 1 year anniversary on RU-vid, I enjoy your videos and look forward to many more from you. Also I'd like my EMR Class 156's back lol.

@macstyle2012 Год назад

I once did Whitby to Scarborough. Went to ticket office to buy ticket and was told that the line was closed down - had to explain that I wanted to go via York and Middlesbrough, got an odd look when the ticket was over £30 and trip took around 4 hours when I could have got the bus in 1 hour for £8. I got the bus back again from Whitby.

@Stettafire 2 месяца назад

My response to such a query would be: I don't like buses.

@haddockman30 Год назад

Well done on making it a year. May the next year be good for you also. :)

@rumblefish2536 Год назад

Here’s to many more years. Well done, buddy.

@neilcrawford8303 Год назад

At least Northern's 769s are still in service, unlike GWRs and TfWs 769s which are now at the Long Marston retirement home for bewildered rolling stock. I agree about the 3+2 seating. They reduce standing room and passenger flow due to the narrow aisle so increasing station dwell times at busy stations like Piccadilly. A good example was the difference between the SWT/R 455s and Southern's. Southern's (now scrapped) 455s had 3+2 seats and were cramped with poor passenger flow, plus the centre seat was often left vacant. The SWT/R units are 2+2 plus with less seats and more standing room at the vestibule area to aid flow. The station dwell times are impressive. The suburban lines out of Waterloo (via Wimbledon) can manage a train frequency of 3 minutes on the UKs busiest network.

@johnwebster3224 Год назад

I used to make "pointless" journeys around Ormskirk, Burscough Junction & Burscough Bridge when working for BR in the 1960's! Didn't seem pointless at the time but looking back - what was the point of it all!

@georgemaund4964 6 месяцев назад

Burscough Junction hasn't been a junction since the 1960s. One obvious development would be to extend the third rail north to BJc and onto a reinstated curve to Burscough Bridge, opening new journey opportunities: is the land/former track bed still available?Another would be third rail all the way to Preston using the south facing bays for recharge/reversal, or with battery being in vogue, use the new 777s on battery to Preston.

@Stettafire 2 месяца назад

Interestingly enough a former colleague who lives in Preston agrees with you. We discussed it many times

It shows how around Liverpool the rail network is well connected. It needs to be better like reintroduce the Burcough Curves, Wapping Tunnel, etc.

Fantastic Video Nick Got 2 Pointless Journeys you can do Eg Hunts Cross Merseyrail to Hunts Cross Northern and Manchester Piccadilly platforms 14 and. 13 to Manchester Piccadilly platforms 1-10 ❤

@blairleipst4508 Год назад

I’ve an idea for a pointless journey, trying to visit stations featuring the Cardinal Compass Points

@elliethebat4761 10 месяцев назад

The error of going to Wigan from burscough is amazing, but lobe the vid anyway

@AdamHinckley 3 месяца назад

2:11 you could done it through Burscough junction and Burscough bridge, where you get off at junction then walk to bridge and round, 3:49 you didn't need to go to wigan from bridge, you could go straight to southport from there

@shyguypromotions Год назад

A year already. A year of great content. Just a question, would you review the class 730s when they come into service later this year

@TheosTrainsWalesOfficial 4 месяца назад

Fingers crossed we'll see more Northern services on the Merseyrail network if they remove the buffers at Ormskirk.

@SiVlog1989 Год назад

I thought you'd go Southport to Sandhills, Sandhills to Kirkby, Kirkby to Wigan Wallgate, Wigan Wallgate to Southport to be honest. Though, it looks more interesting the way you did it

@neilcrawford8303 Год назад

With the bonus of the rail replacement bus service between Kirkby and Rainford (until Headbolt Lane is opened)

@Steggs Год назад

We all have a different approach to RU-vid despite similar interests in whatever the topic may be, well done and keep going! I know I won't get far with my content but it keeps me something to do happily :)

Happy anniversary 🎉 Best video yet as it started and ended in Southport my original home town being born and living/working there for the first 30 years of my life. And living near Meols Cop Railway Station I can safely say it is pronounced ‘meals’ Cop, as in dinners! Also, in Southport we would say more ‘burs-cer’ for Burscough. Here’s to your next year.
