Moreton to Moreton via Moreton-in-Marsh

I took a trip from Moreton (Dorset) to Moreton (Merseyside) via Moreton-in-Marsh. It was quite the endeavour.

I also said I'd link to where I talked about Moreton-in-Marsh so here's that!

How about Osterley (Piccadilly line) to Frosterley (Weardale steam railway)? Would make for a pretty varied journey!

The reason the platforms are so long, are to futureproof - Worcestershire Council wants some of the longer distance XC services to stop at parkway eventually, and in fact, during engineering works, they have before, including the HSTs and 10 car voyagers.

Great video as always Nick!

epic video, Nick! those sound recreations were funny AF

You should do Stratford-upon-Avon to Stratford (London), but without going through central London. (Doable by either arriving on Overground from Willesden Junction or by Greater Anglia from Bishop’s Stortford)

[leonfinnwoodpeck]

Just my guess: I recon the reason the platforms at Worcestershire parkway are so long because the land for the station and the construction of longer platforms was probably quite inexpensive, it is likely a future proofing method in case the area saw big development and cross-country wanted to call longer trains at the platform. I would love to hear an official reason though if someone has one.

If you would’ve went from Worcester to Hereford, and then Hereford to Shrewsbury you’d have passed through the control of Moreton on Lugg signal box!

[MichaelCampin]

I can think of a few more points to points, such as Ashford to Ashford, Mill Hill to Mill Hill and as you said University to University as well as Stratford to Stratford.

Lucky for You, Morton (Derbyshire, on Erewash Valley line) no longer has station.
But You still can go through this disused station via Norhern/EMR service from Nottingham to Sheffield

[JamesTGaming]

What a way to finish of your trip down south. Hope you come back again soon 🙂

[SWTR]

11:34 there's a point-to-point for a video Nick

[paultidd]

Well done! I thought we must be in for quite a ride seeing the runtime of the video. With XC I always find it useful having the unreserved coaches to hand:
4 car - Unreserved carriage is F
5 car - Unreserved carriages are B and F
8 car - Unreserved carriages are F and L
9 car - Unreserved carriages are B, F and L
10 car - Unreserved carriages are B, F, H and L

Great video as usual Nick! Maybe you could do a Point to Point between Liverpool Lime Street and Liverpool Street Station in London

[SeanMidlandstransporthub]

The platforms at Worcestershire Parkway are so long as double voyagers occasionally stop there during engineering works

[SimnTrains]

Those sounds at Morton-in-Marsh were brilliant LOL, great video and it felt like the boss of point to point

[richardhuss]

There are in fact *three* stations in the UK named "University", which would make for a particularly lengthy point to point to point (including a ferry).

[David__Raya]

I saw you filming at the station when I was heading to London

[Galaxy-X-cd]

Why are there so many moreton stations? Great video Nick! Will miss the old merseyrail PEPs . Have a pointless journey suggestion too, Wigan wall gate to Wigan North western . Really like these videos 👍

[TPtyla]

I nearly couldn’t tell when the sound recreations stopped, also great video

[pontefract_b]

Swinton (Manchester) to Swindon (via Swinton North Yorkshire) is one I've been waiting for

[eatransportnorthwest]

Lovely video nick! I live near there Moreton Mersey
