- A bit of Christmas fun: how many different classes of train can I ride in 3 hours? Bonus points for different families! Apologies, but I think the graphic design in this video might be my worst yet...

Walking from Marylebone to Baker Street when you meant to go to Edgware Road? You didn't overshoot you walked the complete wrong direction
Yes, that’s sort of what I meant.
GW saying good morning in the intro really threw me off
so real
In this video, you mentioned the seats on the class 700s not being to bad, which is clear evidence why to rank the passenger comfort on the ranking video a 3 and not 1.
Sounds like a massive challenge. So much fun as always. Merry Christmas.
That looks like a lot of fun. Merry Xmas if you celebrate and have a happy new year
Absolutely fantastic video, well done. We shall have to plan another trip for the near future!
Indeed the Underground has an unfair advantage - thank you for the video. Have a merry Christmas!
Your recordings have become a lot more smoother 👍
Haha yes.
When you arrive at a station and there's a crowd of people and a robo-announcement going "listen for further announcements" it's never an encouraging sign 🥴
Did something like this in Tokyo and although I was more travelling to ride certain lines/trains, I ended up with 13 individual train types by the end of about 5 hours
When I was in Tokyo in 07, I had figured out how to ride 12 of the 13 subway lines without ever going more than one stop. Thought I could do it in an hour but it took 1.5 hours. Set a personal record that day by riding 37 trains altogether.
@@saulschlapik6818 fucking hell that's mad. I prioritised riding new trains, hence quite long stubs in my journey, especially to places like Noborito and a 30+ min wait for the new Fukutoshin and Hanzomon line trains, but knowing there's potential for 37 and with new recent links to the sotetsu lines, I think I might have to retry...
Gasworks Tunnel does have signals halfway through. The 91 was likely just waiting at a red
I like to ride as many trains as possible in one hour, regardless of type, so it's mainly Subway/Metro/Tube. My record is 12 in Paris. I've also done 10 in an hour in London, New York & Shanghai (58 min).
It does surprise me how comfortable other train seats can be, back in September I went from Derby to Matlock and my god, the seats were great, I forget which class it was, but it was way better than the Class 800s.
That will probably have been an EMR Class 158, which have the IC3000 seats. They're widely regarded to be some of the most comfortable around.
Might try this myself!
attempting tomorrow, aiming for 21 points
Class 37 at the buffers at Liverpool St? Is that a regular Thunderbird now?
From Waterloo you could have gone straight to Wimbledon and jumped on a tram as well. Two families in fact Bombardier and Siemens. Then East Croydon and the full range of Southern EMUs and DMUs.
I'm not sure I would have had time for that.
@@GWVillager Fair enough I don't know where you are starting from.
i.e. Class 377s
My location wouldn't be any good for this, pretty much only get Variants of the sprinter and civitys
Great video, but the only thing is the northern line is a 1995 stock not a 1996 stock, the jubilee line is a 96’ stock
Ah, right.
Why count all Tube trains as one family tho? By getting the Bakerloo line from Marylebone you'd have saved a lot of running about and ticked off another type of stock
As I said in the video, it would have made the Tube far too overpowered, and the video would just be riding around on the Underground all day.
Could you not have done the Waterloo and City Line from Waterloo?
There would be no point - I'd already been on deep level trains so it wouldn't be a new family.
I’m going to start with why was Sunak on this video? I used to live in the Edgware Road area of Paddington!! Are you going north?
The news story with Sunak was an example of a negative development this year - but on reflection it was probably unnecessarily political.
[IC225] i think its a braketest or smth
disapointing year but ther were a few w such as new stations and expansins the biggest l of this year is the fact that they sold the hs2 land in my opionion they should have just left it for the fututre
The HS2 land hasn't actually been sold yet, that's just the plan. It can still be saved.
@GWVillager well hopefully they save it because sire they are not gonna use it now but in the future it will denetfely be used
