Fantastic video. Thank you.

Lovely video as always.

Again one of your videos has helped me with a related trip. 4 days walking from YHA Ambleside entirely using public transport. Used thee 555 every day, 599 for essential gingerbread shopping and X6 today get to Grange-over-Sands for the stunning view from Hampsfell.

Thank you for the inspiration, I watched this and decided to do my own trip with the new £2 cap. What a great day out it was! ua-cam.com/video/FbaUeSGlM7g/v-deo.htmlsi=4Oa2nhery19Jkt-w

I loved seeing the pantiles on here! I worked as an actor promoting the revitalised spring and the mineral water when it opened last year! nice to finally they've finally got the vending machine installed!

Really enjoying these, my daughter and I watched two back to back this evening even thought we're 100 miles apart. Armchair travel is a lot less fraught than the real thing. May I ask what app you use to follow the progress of the trains? Is it the DB one?

Another good one. We were at Viller-sur-Mer in Normandy last week and were surprised to see a sign for the Greenwich Meridian - there's even a Rue du Meridien! Surprised because EVERYBODY knows - well the French at least - that the Prime Meridian should go through Paris. 😄 As you pass under the Greenwich Meridian at Stratford International spare a thought for the missing Time Spiral clock. It used to stand on the Greenwich Meridian outside of Stratford Station and on a good night you would have seen the green laser light that shines out from the Observatory pass overhead. Sadly it was moved in order to make way for the entrance to Westfield shopping mall - I had the dubious responsibility for having it taken down when I worked at Newham BC. After a while languishing in a council depot it was found a new home outside Maryland tube station at 0° 0'23.08"E or thereabouts.

Very enjoyable - my daughter introduced me to this channel after an unfortunate experience we had with Deutsche Bahn . . . What is it they say? “If your life always goes according to plan, you rarely take Deutsche Bahn! “Läuft dein Leben stets nach Plan, fährst du selten Deutsche Bahn!”

Absolutely fantastic content, thank you so much! I came across it while researching on what the maximum number of European countries was, to visit in a single day.

Magnificent fun and. Intersting journey. I loved.the music choices too 😊😊😊😊😊

Magnificent well done 😊😊😊

Love your videos and great for watching multiple times 🙂 However..and this is very pedantic, so sorry. Northern Ireland isn't in Britain, so the bus you used your leap card on at 32:50 didn't leave Britain, it left the UK. Sorry again, why couldn't I just leave it! 😒😉😊

Love the 'helvetic version of Crewe' !

Some corrections The people taken by Barbary Pirates were not locals . They were English settlers , part of the Elizabethan plantation of Munster . The locals actually aided and abetted the pirates in this venture. Malin Head is , as you said, in Donegal . Donegal is not in " Northern Ireland " . It is in the Republic of Ireland . Nice video, though. Thank you .

Antother wonderful video of a beautiful Country ww aee really spoilt for epic scenery 😊

Wonderfully well thought out interesting journey. The history was fabulous. Having been born in Cardiff i was one of a couple of Barclay's Bank's first intrepid Relief cashier's in the swinging sixties. I travelled all over South and Mid Wales in my trusty VW 1300 ..What a fab time I had.Visiting branches where the Banking hall was warned by a coal fire lit every morning by the caretaker ! Now a still ardent traveller but without my driving licence - i love travelling by public transport both buses and trains.... This journey has wetted my appetite to make a similar more leisurely journey this autumn. Autumn being my favourite season for travelling .....Many thanks Jo for helping me with my route 😘

What an epic challange for you snd Ms Turtle! I can certainly relate to the feeling of cosches randomly disappearing and not turning up, it's happened to me many times. Looking forward to you two's next adventure :)

Ireland is such an amazing place! Thank you for taking us on this journey. Recently I took the bus from Clifden to Westport, which was already beautiful, but those first and last sections on your journey are just stunning.

1 word nagnifique....❤

Thank you for an inspirational video found whilst searching for ideas on how far I could get with my bus pass. Hoping to do something similar. Good idea + good video and edit = really interesting video. WELL DONE

Another amazing video, thank you. I love your intricate narrative sections, but please mind that people might 'get our of sync' rather quickly as you speak rather fast and the text is quite technical. It is this I love, but implementing some small pauzes every now and then gives the listener actually time to think/process what he just heard. Otherwise it requires alot of rewinding (me) but I see others just quitting. Thanks again!

Fascinating stuff! I used all the routes that radiated out of Welshpool in the four years that I lived there until the summer of 2023 and loved the variety of places that it was possible to visit by bus. Mostly they ran every two hours and not evenings or Sundays but they gave a good alternative when the railways were often disrupted for all kinds of reasons. A particular gem was Montgomery (very easily reached on the T12) and Rhayader, taking the X75 to Llangurig and changing there onto the X47 before walking along an old construction railway trackbed to the dams of the Elan Valley. I could tolerate and even enjoy the T4 route from Newtown as far as Brecon but never ventured further. Now I live near Preston in Lancashire which has services to seemingly all points of the compass from its 39 stands in its iconic city centre bus station. Keep up the good work.

great video! you should do a challenge where you visit every london airport by plane within 24 hours, i had this idea on my mind for a long time now and im not even sure if its possible

I was in Lisbon and Madrid in nov 2019

I LOVE these videos, I love how calm and scenic and lo-fi they are. It's almost like I'm in the trains and busses myself. Coincidently, I love traveling through Europe by public transport so they also act as a great source of inspiration for my own adventures. I would happily pay for these. Do you have a Patreon or maybe an Amazon wishlist or something like that?

These videos, aside from being highly entertaining, are a glorious celebration of Europe and Europeanness. Really fine work indeed.

19:14 SBB schedules international trains such that they replace domestic trains scheduled at the timeslot. The reason they do this is that their network is at capacity, they can't squeeze in more trains. The upside is you can take a TGV with a Swiss domestic ticket and without a reservation, and that more Swiss cities have international connections. The downside is that the Swiss railway system is very precise, and if your international train is late, domestic travellers may miss a tight connection later. So they have mostly stopped doing this with German trains since DB is too unreliable, so now most ICEs end in Basel SBB.

Google does give a route with fewer coaches. There are trains from Hendaye to Salamanca, then coach to pick up Portuguese train. Not 24 hrs though.

Just came back from France, so it's a great time to watch a travel video.

I believe I've seen you filming this at St Pancras in late April? I didn't even recognise you initially, but you looked oddly familiar and everything clicked as soon as I watched this video

Learn how how to pronounce the welsh places correctly.

I think possibly you got your beaches wrong .. The Canadians targeted a beach further east towards Criel sur mer which had intense concrete gun emplacements which effectively blew them out if the water . The Canadians were billeted in Tilgate forest near Crawley at the the time in Nissan huts... The grapes at Peas pottage was where they went to drink but it was not big enough for those rowdy Canucks so they built an extension to the pub .. If you had walked over the swing bridge in Newhaven you could have visited the Canadian war memorial .....

I thought you lost the Turtle in Wales?

Thank you for another great video superb as usual

Going to Sylt on the 49€ ticket has become a bit of a meme in Germany in recent years, since Sylt is otherwise known as the island of the rich and powerful. It now features a punk camp. I did that journey last year and it's fun to see so many familiar places. Not sure if you did, but dipping into the sea next to the Northernmost Point Sign is quite nice

> Our Iberian friends seem a bit allergic to running trains across national borders This is so sad. I wanted to go to Lisbon by train last year, and you just can't. I ended up flying instead because unfortunately they don't pay you to spend two days on busses.

Will we see a spin off video about the Belsize Dog Walking Group? 😊

I see you have a Navigo Easy card, which definitely helps speeding up the entrance to the metro station, if you had to get a ticket from the ticket machine during rush hour, you might well have missed your connection. And I have a feeling that less and less Eurostars sell RATP tickets... Totally agree with the bunker remarkts and especially the lacking connectivity at Montparnasse, however, if you ever find yourself again in Montparnasse, there's a fairly fun rooftop garden on top of the station, a haven for the weary commuters and office workers alike. Love Vitoria-Gasteiz, stayed there for a night a few months ago, and I agree, it's a charming station which really could use some more trains (and a tram connection to the station itself, instead of a few blocks away...)

Excellent as always!

Your videos inspire me to travel further away from my corner. of France / Germany 🙂

Another fabulous video, beautifully described due to a lot of research I imagine. Perfect viewing in the morning with a cup of tea. Looking forward to your next trip.

Great video, always a delight to watch! I suspect the southernmost mainland EU point, in Cadiz Spain, is also possibly accessible in about 24 hours from London. Maybe there could be a part 2 of this journey

This is a challenge now, i have to get to Scotland in 24 hours!

Do you think you'll ever do a north-south UK bus journey from Lizard Point to Dunnet Head? (I imagine you get this question a lot!) I would think it would be challenging, as I can't imagine that bus services in the rural Highlands have great timetables (but maybe I'd be pleasantly surprised).

Another wonderful video. Full of interesting facts, great scenery, well chosen music...and Jo ably supported by Mrs. Turtle.

Interesting. I hadn't realised that Iberian long-distance passenger rail was so inadequate! There clearly ought to be a direct high-speed service between Madrid and Lisbon.

Orangina is such a great choice. It totally reminds me of holidays to France as a kid a quarter of a century ago. I never really was prepared for the little bits that float around in it, but still I drank it. Now I feel like drinking it, haha!

Brilliant video. Did you consider making a Hail Mary for the Punta de Tarifa from Madrid within the 24 hour period?

Another great idea. A shame it didn't quite work out. A very interesting and enjoyable video anyways.
