I Visited ALL Stations Starting with V in ONE DAY!

Today SimOnTrains plans to visit every single station on the national Rail Network that begins with the letter V, Virginia Water, Vauxhall and Valley and also visit these stations in a single day as well.
This over 7 hour journey takes SimOnTrains from the South Western Railway network to the Windy Angelsey in North Wales but how this journey was done wasn't done easy. as it involves a few TOCs and the London Underground.

It come to my attention that I might have left a Station that begins with V out but it is a debatable one.... London Victoria because it can be known as 'Victoria Station' So I do have a question to ask London Victoria Station or Victoria Station? Yes there is a Victoria on the London Underground but this video focuses on Railway Stations on the National Rail Network and not Stations or tram stops on the London Underground and any light rail systems Also quick correction! Did get the buildings wrong at Vauxhall Station, MI6 is next door to the Station and not MI5, that is across the river.

[@deltic1964]

@@Sim0nTrains well V for Victoria correct the sign says London Victoria visit it and say there u go lol

[@DanBen07]

I Checked on Wikipedia when watching and it's not listed on UK train stations beginning with V just the 3 you went to. A suggestion you could make a video where you go to the 3 train stations in london that officially say London on the train map: London Bridge,London City Airport and London Fields.

[@Sim0nTrains]

@@DanBen07 I did check on Wikipedia before the video was made and after it was uploaded. Having a quick look I'm guessing this is the Tube map that has London Bridge, London City Airport and London Fields?

[@kiles99]

I think you covered yourself by using the Victoria Line away from Vauxhall! Good tip about Warren Street as well - I shall remember that one!

[@DanBen07]

@Sim0nTrains well the two London train maps I look at can come from TFL or National Rail sites. It was just a fun suggestion for you to go to places names in.

[@NickBadley]

This is actually a great idea for a challenge!

[@Sim0nTrains]

It sure was. There is another one that only has five Stations that begin with the same Letter.... Six if you could one in Northern Ireland and it's a little tougher than V. Thanks for watching Nick.

[@marthaanderson2656]

all of us outlanders scrambling and discovering the official name is London Victoria. Thanks for the fun ride.

[@GLovesTrains]

That looked a great day out! So funny you booked the tickets for the wrong day tho 😂 great vlog Cyber 👍

[@Sim0nTrains]

@GLovesTrains it was but lucky I took advantage and spent the night in Holyhead 😂

[@HamishG199]

12:47 Simon you are correct! A few months ago I was staying in Ruswarp, on the Esk Valley Line, virtually all of the videos are on my other channel. Although it was not a far walk from Whitby to Ruswarp I decided to take the train as that morning I did the Whitby Park Run and I had already done a fairly distant walk that morning. Northern did not announce that the train’s doors would not open in the front unit!!! I missed my stop and arrived in Sleights. The Northern guard apologised and said that the announcements had failed in the unit. Luckily it was only a 3 mile walk back to Ruswarp.

[@Sim0nTrains]

The video I've filmed a few weeks after I Visited Bescar Lane, New Lane and Hoscar and I was in the wrong part of the train at Bescar Lane due to the short platform and couldn't get off so it kind of a dig at that. Even if the announcements have failed, he still should had walk up and down the train asking passengers.

[@HamishG199]

@ I suppose he should have but I am not sure if he was aware at the time 😂. He said it had played up on the way from Middlesbrough but thought it was working again. Anyhow was a fantastic video, I imagine you were tired after that!

[@thetflthree]

Fantastic video as always Simon! ~Hugh

[@Sim0nTrains]

Thank you TFL Three

[@TicTacTrolleyServiceTico]

Tough challenge indeed! Still you did it so congrats to you! Good variety of Sprinters as well as spotting your Beloved 170502 and the Immortal Pacer!

[@Thornaby37]

Great video of the three stations starting with V That blooper with the ticket for the wrong date highlights once again why we need to keep the ticket offices

[@TrainLifeGB]

The things you do simon...motivates me to want to do the same thing in my spare time.

[@Sim0nTrains]

Thank you and honestly it's great to hear, if you do the same thing, good luck and hopes it goes well

[@johnwayne2896]

Great video Simon

[@Sim0nTrains]

Thanks John

[@lovefive5733]

Thank you for uploading this video Simon, Merry Christmas 😊😊

[@Sim0nTrains]

Thank you and Merry Christmas

[@Andrewjg_89]

Nice to see the Class 458s being refurbished. South Western Railway should still introduce the Class 701 on other routes in 2025.

[@Desiro360]

Excellent video. Have a good Christmas. 😀

[@Sim0nTrains]

Thanks Desiro360 and Merry Christmas to you as well

[@rachelwalker7091]

Thanks for taking us on your epic trip. Over 7 hours! That’s dedication. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

[@Sim0nTrains]

Thank you Rachel, I honestly really did enjoyed it. Even know some parts were brutal like that London Northwestern Ride. There is another letter that has less Stations and it much harder than V so may do that next year in the Spring/Summer. Merry Christmas to you and a Happy New Year

[@rachelwalker7091]

@ Thanks Simon. I’ll look forward to that trip.

[@ianr]

Great video Simon! Have a great Christmas and New Year. 👍🙂

[@Sim0nTrains]

Thanks Ian and Merry Christmas to you as well

[@jackchapman5052]

Good vlog cyber the SWR and transport for Wales stations are valley, Vauxhall and Virginia water including Verney Junction in Buckinghamshire

[@onesandzeros]

Great video Simon, a very Merry Christmas to you!

[@ElijahsTransport]

Great video simon! Enjoyed!

[@Sim0nTrains]

Thank you

[@neilflood6508]

Warren Street to Euston is probably quicker walking at street level rather than going down to the Victoria Line and going back up into the station at Euston.

[@Sim0nTrains]

I think it is 10 minute walk, I did it once as the train that I was on wasn't going to stop at Euston so I have to get off at Warren Street but I had time to kill so I didn't mind but think your right, walking is quicker

[@MichaelSebastianTodd]

ive used Virginia Water a few times & its an ok station not the best station for filming trains & last time i used that station i had a ride on a SWR class 458/4 & they are ok & i have used Vauxhall a few times before not to train spot as ive heard they are very strict on that section & Valley looks like a lovely station brilliant vlog

[@Sim0nTrains]

I heard they're strict with Vauxhall because of MI6 across the street. It one of those Stations that if you ask permission the should be okay with it. Thanks Michael

[@TravelJackJourneys158]

I did something similar when booking tickets only booked it a mouth later. So I did the journey a mouth later.

[@Sim0nTrains]

The pricing wasn't good to make this journey but when checking advance tickets. It could had been done for half the price so went with it.

[@SamsVlogstrainsmore]

Great Vlog Visiting the stations beginning with V Simon. I’ve never actually been to any of these stations before.

[@JoshHodginsTrains]

Thanks give shoddy 127 a sub

[@Sim0nTrains]

Thanks for the Super Chat Josh, I had a look and notice he got some interesting videos so yep, I subscribed

“So we’ve now made it to our next stop on this journey, this is Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch” Good Christ I’m looking forward to that 😂😂😂

[@Sim0nTrains]

That next week video lol

[@ReubenAshwell]

Brilliant video Cyber, mad to think there's only 3 stations beginnging with V. Shame you saw 170 502 at Crewe though lol.

[@Sim0nTrains]

Thanks Reuben and yeah, sadly I did see my Stalker Unit lol

[@jacobporrett]

Thank you for sharing Simon

[@LyntreeTown20132]

Excellent Video Simon

[@Sim0nTrains]

Thanks Lyndon

[@MrGreatplum]

That was a long trip between Surrey and Anglesey! I note everyone going on about London Victoria - but if you had to use that one, you’d have to go to Manchester Victoria, surely?

[@harryelliott4310]

Trains Station 🚉

[@networkerfan]

you missed Victoria the terminus for the Brighton mainline

[@Sim0nTrains]

This is what I've mentioned in the pin comment as it came to my attention this morning on discord because it is known as Victoria but also known as London Victoria. Signs do say London Victoria but makes me wonder if it local London thing by calling it Victoria.

[@deltic1964]

lol at pacer

[@Sim0nTrains]

Couldn't resist the Pacer Train lol

[@deltic1964]

@Sim0nTrains love the music that goes with it 🤣🤣🤣

[@daddylive9920]

Always makes me laugh

[@SteamboatWilley]

I would have just waited until I got to Euston to buy food.

[@Sim0nTrains]

Would had been Sainsburys... to be fair I did go into Sainsburys to buy lunch but it was 50/50 for Breakfast but it just is just what I felt like having at the time.

[@Roblilley999]

First thing I thought, Virgina Water, Vauxhall and Victoria, will be easy.... forgot about Valley

[@philipgay4878]

How about all the stations with a 'z' in their name?

[@Sim0nTrains]

There none on the National Rail Network that begins with Z

[@philipgay4878]

@Sim0nTrains I was suggesting a 'z' anywhere in their name.

[@Sim0nTrains]

@@philipgay4878 Sorry, I see where your coming from now like Hazel Grove

[@Vanmanyo]

When are you doing every station beginning with S in one day Si? 😅

[@Sim0nTrains]

Too Many LOL! Especially since you got Sugar Loaf and Stranear as well

[@Anonymoususer_8823]

Are there other railway stations that have the letter V that you probably haven’t been to. I have been to Vauxhall and I definitely haven’t been to Virginia Waters.

[@Sim0nTrains]

There are only 3 stations that begin with V, not counting Light Rail Systems

[@joshtrains-qr8ie]

What about Victoria?? (London) 😕

[@Sim0nTrains]

@joshtrains-qr8ie Station offical name is London Victoria even know some people do call it Victoria and maps say Victoria, I mentioned this in the pinned comment

[@bfapple]

Not even an honorary shoutout for London Victoria?

[@Sim0nTrains]

@bfapple This is what I've mentioned in the pin comment as it came to my attention this morning on discord because it is known as Victoria but also known as London Victoria. Signs do say London Victoria but makes me wonder if it local London thing by calling it Victoria, officially the name is London Victoria and doesn't start with V
