Warrington Bank Quay to Warrington Central - Pointless Journeys 

You silly boy! You could've walked it in 5 minutes. What a pointless journey!

Seems like you coulda done a double-header of pointless journeys here, doing the two Wigan stations as a pair. Maybe next time?

Love the Manchester delayed part in the video with the editing. Great Video Nick!

Train delays are just sooooo annoying. I’m really enjoying these pointless journeys - on my London transport trip in august I kept finding slower more complicated ways to get back to where I’d come from once I’d used the Elizabeth line (which I was trying out!) in one direction.

Ever been to capenhurst? You get to see merseyrail trains at speed and they always give tones even if u just give a wave

Mate - you are such a hoot! Thank you for taking us on another jolly journey. (When you are back at Uni, you might want to try the Nottingham to Lincoln line, and stop off at Bleasby for a little explore - nice village, near the Trent).

If you ever get bored, there's Wakefield Westgate & Wakefield Kirkgate, the normal route is a 15 minute walk, or go to leeds & back, but plenty of opportunities to add flare and make your own way there & back!

This series is amazing. Great video mate

I enjoyed the video Nick! Looking forward to your next journey! Happy New Year to you!

I'm thinking of a super-hard and probably impossible version of this - fastest time to go round all of the London Terminii without using the Tube (ie national rail, overground, DLR only)

Loving this series! Worcestershire Parkway High Level to Low Level would probably land you some delays and cancellations as well as long changes (via Cheltenham and Worcester or Birmingham and Worcester or Bristol and Didcot if you wanted to be ridiculous!) Smethwick Galton Bridge High Level to Low Level without leaving any stations and walking could also be quite a trip via Droitwich/Worcester and Birmingham. Shotton High Level to Low Level could also be done in several different ways (Bidston/Liverpool/Chester or Wrexham/Chester. There are near endless possibilities for this series, St. Pancras Thameslink to St. Pancras HS1 to St. Pancras EMR would probably take most of a day! I've done many long winded routes by train to avoid the OSI from Ash Vale to North Camp, including via Guildford/Woking/Aldershot and I'd imagine that Eridge to Tunbridge Wells by National Rail only (not using the Spa Valley Railway) would be quite a trek! Keep up the great content!

Another one would be Hartford to Greenbank, about a mile apart, but a train journey would require two changes (at Crewe and either Stockport or Chester)

Do Canterbury east to Canterbury west

4:49 at least you can get a refund 😂

i really enjoyed this one this was a brilliant pointless journey dispite the deleys in Manchester and hopefully one day youll get to ride Northern class 158 they are great units keep up the awesome work

Another top effort Nick. Another pointless yet fruitful journey!

Extend Blackpool trams to Preston Station NOW🎉

It may break you no correct stations rule, but Wakefield Westgate and Kirkgate might be fun. I think you might be able to do this by going up to Leeds and back down or maybe try going south to Doncaster. If I recall correct you can get to either from there but could just be somewhere in SY in general. Very interesting video, hope you got your money back from that delay. They really need to fix Piccadilly through services, like maybe another set of platforms/tracks at least.

you could do wigan north western to wigan walgate. WGN-LIV, LIV-LVC, LVC-SOP, SOP-WGW

Hope you claimed "delay repay" for the delay

I award you a (Virtual 😐) medal for patience and fortitude 🥇 I am a long ago veteran of 13/14 at Piccadilly and Oxford Road. Back then, there were occasional long delays, due to late arrival of the connecting ' Harwich Boat Train ' 🤔

New to your channel Nick. I’ve passed through the train at Warrington Ban Quay and never got out and never gone near Warrington Central. This was a great but funny pointless journey, shame about the delays from Manchester though. Would love to see more of these journeys in the future. Looking forward to more great content Nick!

Really enjoying this series. Keep it up

Scotrail has 158's - mainly run from Edinburgh to various destinations. Nice units too! The Borders line is a great ride!

Mate actually doing this for this ser8es, a legend

Ah 13 and 14 at Piccadilly, well known to those of us coming in from the badlands of Preston and it’s environs.

Another hugely enjoyable video in this series! If you want a couple of suggestions for Pointless Yorkshire journeys try Bradford Interchange to Bradford Forster Square (not too difficult) and Pontefract Baghill to Pontefract Monkhill or Pontefract Tanshelf (a bit more awkward as Baghill gets only 3 trains a day in each direction and was recently the least used station in West Yorkshire).

Another good variation you should try is you have to arrive at the station in the same direction of travel as you left it and you cant double back in any station that isnt a terminus and you must arrive at that terminus on the terminating platforms to be able to double back there. So Crewe can be a terminus if you arrive on a bay, if you dont you cant and you have to continue

Hi Nick that was another excellent and exciting video. It was so awesome and thanks for putting this video together.

absolutely shocking the state of trains in this country

Waheyyy warrington! I've seen a few of your videos and thought they were good and then see my town pop up!

Great video. I was going to do one of these on the 30th of December (Southend Victoria to Southend Central) but there were works on one of the lines so did a video on the DLR instead. I might have another go later in the year, track works and strikes not withstanding. Keep up the good work mate 👍👍

Please do Cannon Street to Bank (Cannon Street Exit) in London.

This is insane, there was one time I visited Manchester during the off peak time and the train was 2 158s doubled together to make 4 coaches in off peak time. In the evening rush hour they only gave us a single 158. I'm pretty sure the train was more packed than yours in Man pic. I also endured 1hr delays as well

You might have had more luck going to Manchester Oxford Road as that is where the Manchester - Warrington - Liverpool stopping service starts from. Just a thought in case you have another go at this.

I’ve been to Warrington, and wondered if there was a way to get between the stations without walking. Now I know how 😂 (Excellent video and the production values and editing is greatly improving, like that moving map!)

Late to the party with this one. Another idea would be to do a Warrington to Widnes town center As of 1963, the low level platforms at Warrington closed (but still exist even today) however prior to this you could catch a train from Warrington B Q to Widnes South in only 7 minutes, even today you can pushbike it in less than half an hour... So if you wanted to avoid walking across Warrington (understandable) iirc you would have to WBQ to Crewe to Stockport to Widnes (north) which is nowhere near the town center so you'll have to walk the final bit. Oh and it roughly takes 2-2.5 hours, however you are at the mercy of Avanti WC, Transport for Wales and EMR 😂

How about Northwich to Hartford? Both in the same town, but not connected.

Wigan Wallgate to North Western should be a pointless journey in itself; and you should've gone to Oxford Road instead of Piccadilly, then you could've gotten a half-hourly Northern service

Brilliant video Nick, shame about that delay at Manchester though. And don't even get me started on Avanti lol.

Hahahah so... to avoid walking between the two Warrington stations... you get the train to Wigan and walk between stations and then change at Manchester and walk between stations!

one time i had a 130 minute delay for my avanti train so i caught another avanti train which was 40 minutes delayed

If you're ever in Scotland you should try do Glasgow Central to Glasgow queen st about as pointless as it gets

You should do new cross to new cross gate in South East London one day. Or kings cross to st Pancras

The joys of rail travel in the NW!!

Nice vid , here is another pointless journey idea: Windsor central to Windsor and eton riverside

lichfield trent valley high level to low level or if you find yourself in scotland try one of the glasgow stations low level to high level

North of the Border....Glasgow Central High Level to GLC Low Level or Glasgow Queen St High Level to GLQ low level

When it Opens you should do Bletchley Low Level to Bletchley High Level

Hey I’m a big fan of your videos ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Pointless journey Idea: Wigan Northwestern - Wigan Wallgate

Happy new year man

Maybe Manchester Picadilly to Manchester Victoria by something stupid in the midlands

So, this would require you to take Transport For Wales or Northern to Manchester or Transport For Wales to Liverpool and then take Northern, EMR or TransPennine Express to Warrington Central.

Great video as ever 🙂

You should do southend Central to southend Victoria if possible

If I take it well, you from the approximately 20 minute footpaths (you are 5 minute with a bus) made one almost 3 hours traveling by train? I live here in Warrington, but a trip like this would not have occurred to me under the 6 years. :D

and still we have late trains! don't know which is the worst in the North West trains or buses for being delayed or cancelled. we're hopeless !

you should do farnborough main to farnborough north one of these days. Minimum two changes!

Wigan, the home of The Verve.

Warrington West isn't a station in Warrington , I'm pretty sure it is one

0:35 Seeing as you don't allow just walking from Warrington Bank Quay to Warrington Central, it seems like cheating to walk between two stations in Wigan. If you had to stay railside of the gateline (ticket barriers) the whole time from going into Warrington Bank Quay to leaving Warrington Central, how would you do it?

Is the Wigan - Wigan Pointless Journey on the docket Nick?

I think going via Crewe would’ve been more interesting.

I was told once you can use your train ticket in zone 1 of the Manchester metrolink but maybe my mates just a grifter

It should be a rule that you cannot walk between two stations on the trip. Local transit like bus or Metrolink is fine though. Otherwise you could walk from start to finish as well. Can there be a pointless pointless journey (or point-pointless?) 😆

Burscough junction to burscough junction stations would be a good 1 same area but not rail connected abit like warrington stations

Can you do Catford-Catford bridge one day?

Now do Runcorn to Runcorn East..

What kind of tickets have you used for this journey?

hand stability : ♻️

Wonder how easy it is to travel from Tamworth High Level to Tamworth Low Level

⭐️

Wigan north wester to Wigan wallgate pointless journeys

Should do st helens Central to junction

I enjoyed watching mate. Considered yourself subbed from me 😁

How about Worcester parkway low level to high level without using Worcester, blackpool north to Blackpool south and if you are ever south of London edenbridge to edenbridge town.

I’m wondering if you still can get a train out of one London terminus to somewhere well away from London, and then a train back to London to a different terminus, no changes? You defo USED to be able to do this from Bristol Temple Meads, as there is the usual direct trains from Paddington, but weirdly South West Trains used to do one a day from there to Waterloo via bloody everywhere along the south coast, the most indirect London train going. But I don’t think they do that now, as it was just a Parliamentary type thing to get past certain rules I think…

London Euston to London Paddington on as many train models or lines you can think of, (PS: PLS CHILTERN)

Liverpool central northern line to Liverpool central Wirral line pointless journey but you can’t use moorfields

What you cloud done Warrington central to Warrington west

Runcorn to Runcorn east

Farnborough main to Farnborough North or North to main?

And how much did you get back via Delay Repay

Have ypu done wigan wallgate to wigan nw yet?

Of course all the 158 trains were not his but then the i gonna say 150? Was his train

What about London st pancras high level to London st pancras low level

Hello there

Could you not have gone to Oxford Road to get a stopper to Warrington Central, instead of waiting for over an hour at Piccadilly?

Railways Ran For Profit moments compilation...

#dalayrepay

Hate Avanti. Bring back Virgin!

Nope NOPE 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😠😠😠😠
