Nice video Simply Railway, but I thought I'd just mention that it appears you got one of the few Circle Line trains from King's Cross St Pancras underground station that doesn't go to Hammersmith. As such you actually got off at Paddington Praed Street station, rather than Paddington Hammersmith & City station. Paddington actually has two underground stations, one being Praed Street & the other being Hammersmith & City, though both of which are sign posted simply as Paddington. Most Circle Line and all Hammersmith & City services from King's Cross St Pancras go to the Hammersmith & City station, with Hammersmith being their end destination. However a few Circle Line service do instead go back round the Circle Line back into central London, and as such stop at the Praed Street station, which is served by Circle Line & District Line services starting at Edgware Road as well as Bakerloo Line. The Hammersmith & City station is next to the main line station platforms on the northern side of the station. You do still have to exit the underground station and enter the mainline station at the northern end rather than entering from the southern end. I hope that makes sense, but in typical British fashion it isn't as straightforward as you'd hope! Really enjoying your videos from your travels in the UK, and look forward to seeing more of them. 👍
@@NarutoKing1520 For services towards Plymouth you will want the ‘mainline’ station in the original Brunel shed. The Hammersmith & City station adjoins this, & is a short walk between the two which is well signed. If you use the Praed Street station the follow Simply Railway’s video.
If you have a bank card that enables contactless payments, you can directly tap in at the ticket barriers in Underground stations: no need to buy an Oyster card and top up - time saved!
Of course, be aware that you may be charged fees for doing so (the transaction being overseas) but it may be more convenient to do so, and possibly cheaper if you're unlikely to return the Oyster card and just want to make a single journey.
@@fetchstixRHD I wondered. How does TFL charge the Bankcards? Does it instantly charge (or only reserve and charge at the end of the workday)? Instantly charge could mean conversion fees on each and every tap out
itm: It doesn’t charge you instantly, it does as you said make a note of each journey that you make and then (tries to!) charge(s) you at about 1-2am* for the total cost of all your day’s journeys. I think that means you only get one transaction fee if I’m not correct, it will come up as one transaction in your bank statement. (*Side note: while the charge comes through at 1-2am, the travel day ends at 4:29am, so there is an exception if you travel on overnight services but haven’t reached the daily fare cap by the time they send the charge. That said, that charge will get rolled into any charges for the next “day” (after 4:30) of travel, so it’s unlikely that it’ll raise a big issue if you’re a visitor.)

The fees / exchange rate for debit cards are usually better than any money exchange
You could also use your contactless bank card to tap in and out, it's actually cheaper than oyster (it's weekly capped too) and you avoid putting extra plastic in use
3:11 I'm sorry, but it was actually the Metropolitan line which was the first ever underground railway in the world, which did open in 1863. However, the circle line opened in 1990, with the extension to Hammersmith in 2009.
Why not do the other tube lines and even the London Overground, DLR, Tramlink, Emirates Cable Car, TfL Rail, River services and hopefully Elizabeth Line when it opens next year.
Great video. Is it okay if you could explain how to get to Liverpool Street from Paddington via the circle line? As I'm very confused by all the lines and all the stations at Paddington so would appreciate someone explaining where to go at Paddington and what to expect.
It's obvious what you mean but for future reference what you're calling an "automate" is called a "ticket machine" in English. Even if you are topping up an oyster card and not actually buying a ticket, it's still called that. Excellent video as always.
Hey Dude, thanks a lot for this wonderful trip in a wonderful stock ;-) Tips for the best way to travel in the underground are very interesting for newbies in London ^^ at 3:12 : the Circle line is not the 1st line of subway in the world. It's the Metropolitan line (and this is the first line of subsurface to change their stock ^^ to S Stock, if I'm not wrong ^^). No toilets in the LU stations ? :P (I'm kidding hahaha) See you soon for a new trip ;-)
Good evening, I’m going on a trip to St Neots train station for a prayer and worship retreat at Claretian Missionaries at 1st August 2024 and returning from there at 3rd August 2024 from St Neots train station by arriving at London St Pancreas by 16:14 to walk to London Paddington as from there I’m catching a train from 17:03. I don’t have an Oyster card so I was wondering do you have a video or can you tell me how to do this as I don’t have that much time. Please reply to me as quickly as possible.
Nice informative video showing the transfer between 2 major london terminus stations do you plan to do this again either in London or another city elsewhere?
Merci alors là je préfère de très loin le métro parisien je suis passionné du métro parisien et des rer tramway tout ça Mais ils font des cartes journalières à Londres aussi pour avoir le métro en illimité pour un jour ou une semaine?
Louis LE GRAND j’aime le métro parisien et les trains à roues pneumatiques, mais à mon avis, l’underground à Londres est moins sale et plus moderne. Cepandant, le métro parisien est moins cher et Paris est belle. Meilleurs voeux de cambridge, UK. ❤️🇬🇧🇪🇺🇫🇷
La fameuse Travelcard (ticket rose, si mes souvenirs sont bons et s'ils existent encore) pour voyager de façon illimitée sur tout le réseau pour une journée, une semaine...
La oyster, c'est comme les cartes IC japonaises, c'est ce qu'on devrait avoir pour nos réseaux de transports au lieu d'avoir 15 cartes avec 15 types de tickets différents :/
@TheRenaissanceman65 It was an S8 stock which has transverse seating (Those seats that face the train's direction and the rear of the train, rather than the sides) which only operate on Metropolitan line. Metropolitan line does not serve Paddington. So for some reason why is there an S8 stock rather than the normal S7 stock.
Du denkst voll in Deutsch. Station ist mehr der Bahnhof. 5 stops ist grammatisch besser. Ich könnte jedes mal mich aufregen wenn ein "dummer" Deutscher stations anstelle stops sagt.

Now I’m really confused cause I need to go from Paddington to Plymouth but which Paddington do I go too?

@@MartinH_222 thank you so much Sir you’re a lifesaver!
@@NarutoKing1520 Your welcome! What tube line & station are you coming from to reach Paddington?
If you have a bank card that enables contactless payments, you can directly tap in at the ticket barriers in Underground stations: no need to buy an Oyster card and top up - time saved!
or a Phone/Watch with Google Pay or Apple Pay as well
Of course, be aware that you may be charged fees for doing so (the transaction being overseas) but it may be more convenient to do so, and possibly cheaper if you're unlikely to return the Oyster card and just want to make a single journey.

I am so glad found your video, going to travel this route to London Paddington to catch GWR to Moreton-In -Marsh. Thank you so much.

This brings back nostalgia from when I lived in London but now I live in Cumbria

the circle line opened in 1948
Woah, that is very helpful - thank you very much! Next year I want to go to England for the first time in my life: 10 days holiday in Dawlish! 😊
You’re an absolute life saver!!! Thank you
3:09 all circle metropolitan Hammersmith and City and District lines are the same with a yellow interior
Super Video
Mais malheureusement il ya pas de toilettes dans le métro alors pas de 'toilets time'
Imagine if he did a trip report from Leicester Square to Covent Garden
@Jasiah Korbin It works
Why not do the other tube lines and even the London Overground, DLR, Tramlink, Emirates Cable Car, TfL Rail, River services and hopefully Elizabeth Line when it opens next year.
It was called the metropolitan line when it first opened

Is it the same on the way back so Paddington to St Pancras

Les S7 stocks... rien de mieux pour les oreilles 😍
Et j’aime beaucoup le design pourquoi on a pas ça à la place des vieux MF 77 à Paris 😭😭😭
I love Saint Pancras International❤
Metropolitan actually. The circle line was something different.
A cause de la configuration des sièges ? :-)
Just a heads up it's St Pancras

ça tombe bien : le 12 juin dernier, la carte Navigo Easy est sortie. Elle fonctionne sur le même principe que la Oyster Card.
Walk it like I talk it
Perfect ;)
You've gone on the wrong train at King's Cross St. Pancras!

Pas de toilette time aujourd'hui😞😭
The met line was first
The Circle line is Not the oldest in the World, it’s the Metropolitan line in January 1963. The Circle line Developed later
1863 actually
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE we have the pound sign (£) in front of the amount e.g. £100.

Oyster cards are not refundable anymore. £5 lost for good, use your debit or credit card
