Another interesting well presented video Nick, Thanks. An idea for a journey that came to mind, a train journey on the National Rail Network that would require the most number of trains and changes to complete, That is using a recognised route that a 'normal' passenger would use, and the least number of trains to complete it, not sure what such a journey would be yet, are there any journeys that would require more than 5 trains to complete? I will have a look when time permits.

Excellent run, though I had visions of Geoguessr handing you a brutal 14 hour "Penzance" to "Inverness" combo. I think there is a single CrossCountry that gets you most of the way without changing, but I expect you'd need buttocks made of clouds to pull it off.
