UK rail trip – 2022 Day 55 – 27th May, 2022 This evening, I’ll be flying back to Sydney. But I still had the bulk of the day to wander around. I checked out of the hostel, but was able to leave my belongings in the luggage room. I’ll be back in the afternoon for...
UK rail trip – 2022 Day 54 – 26th May, 2022 Today, I’ve decided to walk some of the Regent’s Canal. I could have caught the London Underground directly to somewhere like St. Pancras. Instead, I decided to take an around about way. I made my way to Aldgate London...
UK rail trip – 2022 Day 53 – 25th May, 2022 I was up much earlier than expected. But that’s ok. It would give me plenty of time to grab something to eat and make my way to Cardiff Central. Today, I’m making a return visit to Aldbourne (Devil’s End). I checked...

UK rail trip – 2022 Day 40 – 12th May, 2022 I woke up and checked out of the hostel. One of the first things I had to do this morning was to make a reservation for tonight’s Caledonian Sleeper to Fort William in Scotland. I caught the London Underground to King’s...
UK rail trip – 2022 Day 39 – 11th May, 2022 I was up by around 08:00 (or thereabouts) and my payslip was already in my email inbox. It usually takes a few hours more for my pay to appear in my bank account. Sometimes, though, it can take a little longer. This was one of those...
UK rail trip – 2022 Day 34 – 6th May, 2022 Today I’m off to Hull! I’ve never been to Hull before. With it being a little chilly and overcast, I wonder what it will have in store for me. I made the five minute walk to Adgate East station and caught a Hammersmith...
UK rail trip – 2022 Day 33 – 5th May, 2022 Today I’m off to Windsor. I checked out of Prime Backpackers Hostel and made my way to Angel station. Since I’ll be checking in to a different London hostel this evening, I’ll be dragging my suitcase around all day...
