This change to YouTube view-counting irks me. My views are inflated by about 75% now! It doesn't feel like more success, it feels like view-botting almost..

After spending £96 on an external hard drive, and then spending a total of 12 hours downloading and extracting files from Google Takeout... I now have a complete collection of all my videos, should my channel ever be unexpectedly terminated, god forbid. 😬

Took me a while, but I FOUND IT! The original plan I physically wrote down on paper for my first ever video! (Riding the entire Merseyrail Network in one day) Can't believe I still have this!

The abandoned Frome - Radstock railway! A very interesting explore! Video on the way.. eventually.

I have a challenge. Try to create a realistic timetable out of the rail network in my Minecraft Hardcore world.. (Network map and geographically accurate maps provided!)

After 15 hours, 38,000 steps, and 20 miles of walking, that may have been the most packed day of station ticking I have done!

Andover! 4 seconds off a PB too! How gutting.

It is way too hot to do a parkrun

So, apparently this was recently voted the best place on Earth?

Maidenhead Parkrun! Except.. I didn't run today, due to a bad knee. So, instead I decided to get my first volunteer credit, as a Marshal!

Great Manchester 10K run? Done it mate.

How does this work? Basically everywhere online says that the single fare for a Thames Clipper is £6.20 regardless of payment method, i.e., online, Oyster, contactless. So how come this was £4.10 for me? I used Oyster, for reference. Either Oyster actually costs less, or Railcard works on the boats?

I'd say I'm somewhat overdue for a new, remastered profile picture!

First overseas Parkrun! Hasenheide, Berlin!

Oh right, yeah, so I've been in Germany for the last week!

After what may have been one of the most catastrophic MOT fails this garage has ever seen, it is time to say goodbye to my car. You served me well! 🫡

Yesterday we went to one of the supposed fastest Parkruns in the country! And it definitely lived up to the title.

Nick Badley @nickbadley.com · 07/04/2026

Some new stations opened in Birmingham, it seems!

I keep forgetting to post these! This week's Parkrun takes us to Burnley!

Seems like a good time to have a cup of tea in my new Willenhall mug

Well Well Welllllenhall!.... ok that doesn't work as good as I hoped

All over now, flying home this time. Not doing another 3 days of travel 🤣

Couldn't do Parkrun this week as my nearest is 323 miles away! Compensated by doing skiing of course!

The northernmost standard gauge railway station in the world! 🇳🇴

Oh my, amazing! I know I said this was a holiday not for filming.. but I may have to break this. 😮

Gothenburg! Quick stop while heading up north in Sweden to find lots of very old-looking trams! And some very nice pancakes were had too!

Nick Badley @nickbadley.com · 15/02/2026

Gribsø! A tiny request stop in the middle of the woods! This is more like it! Lots of skiers around here. Also got to stand in the middle of a frozen lake! That's an item ticked off the bucket list.

Feels bizarre seeing Rail Alphabet signs outside of Britain!

Helsingør! A nice little town. Had come very nice pancakes from a local cafe too!

And today it's time to explore some of Eastern Denmark! Starting with Copenhagen of course!

Currently on a holiday! (Not for filming, so I'll post stuff here instead!) Spent last night in Malmö! Very cool place.

Perhaps going to Germany on Friday the 13th wasn't so wise. The Most delayed train I've ever ridden, at 260 minutes late! I expected nothing less from Deutsche Bahn! 🤣
