good morning this is how my day starts at the moment
it's 7:30 and my train is due in at about 7:45
I’m not going in every day and the way our trains work in our country means that means
I’ve got to get a small mortgage out to pay for the single ticket
it's about £30 into London and then I’ll get a reduced rail card fare for the way home
I must remember to get that ticket!
Made it onto the platform - time to get the train hello I’m Neil...
[TANNOY ANNOUNCEMENT] Guildford for the AirBus Hello I’m Neil, welcome back to the channel
if you're new here especially big welcome today is a bit of an unusual video usually
I help high achieving creators and performers just like you to get ideas out here onto YouTube
but I haven't been posting very much for the last few weeks and I wanted to make a video
about why why that is I thought I’d do that by making a video
about my daily routine at the moment I’m...
I’m doing some work in London so I thought I’d take you along with me for that journey
the first thing I’ve got to do is to get into London
so it's 7:45, the train's on time it's always a good thing
I like to go on the back carriage because it's usually quiet but I don't if you can
see the whole train is quiet anyway! you use my knuckles obviously
The government advice at the moment is to work from home for the next two weeks at least
uh till the 19th of July so we've got a really nice nice clean quiet train
[MUSIC] I do my morning pages every single day for
half an hour and there's no getting out of it even though I’m on the train
except thanks to the face mask when my glasses steam up!
[MUSIC] [TANNOY: See it, say it, sorted]
I still can't believe how empty these platforms are these are really major stations and usually
before the Rona, these platforms would be absolutely heaving with passengers
[MUSIC] After the writing, I’ve been reading typing
and tearing out 13 pages which is pretty good for this session but I’ve got to go through
all of these pages at some stage [MUSIC]
As we head into London I’m walking to the front of the train to get there just that
little bit quicker I guess it's my morning exercise and the trains
being held at some signals on the way into Waterloo station
[MUSIC] [TANNOY: Platform 15 on the left hand side]
Finally we get into the London Waterloo a little late some things never change and you
can see that in my eyes just how happy and grateful I look for this service
so it's 8:57 made it to Waterloo time to go on the tube now over to Camden
Town [MUSIC]
[TANNOY ANNOUNCEMENT]
I’m going to mention this a few times now so sorry about this
but when I was a school kid and 11 years old I used to make this same tube journey every
day until I was 16... except in the opposite direction
[MUSIC] And it's still really weird being back at
Camden Town station I remember bounding down the escalators three
stairs at a time to check the dot matrix indicator at the bottom there
[MUSIC] I’m still not used to it
This is Camden Town and this is where I grew up
just so happens I’m working here for the first time in the place where I grew up and
I used to do that journey every morning but the other way around
still not used to being here um it's been about 20 years since I’ve been here properly
and I’m still not used to it being so quiet as well look at it
I think it...
I think it gets a bit busier later on but even so this I’ve never seen it like this
at all down here is... to flip the camera... that's
my old infant school I made a whole video about this I put it on screen now and in the
description but oh my goodness it is so weird walking
past my old little infant school every morning to work
let's go down and have a look because I made that video about what's happening to it about
two years ago and... get run over what's happening is they're knocking it down
for the Camden town underground station so it will not look like this for much longer
I think it's probably going to take a couple of years to build a new underground entrance
and they're going to bulldoze this little Victorian infant school that taught me all
my nursery rhymes... taught me the colours the reason I can do this now right now is
because of that building and all my lovely teachers in it
Hawley infants it's moved - it's closed down they're not going to bulldoze the school with
the kids still in it that that would be wrong but it's been derelict now for about oh two
three years anyway that that video is a nice video if you if you've got some time on your
hands then I cross the bridge over there to get
to the building I work in which is just opposite Camden lock market
obviously I don't think my employers would be that happy about me filming in the office
so I’ll give you some shots from the window and some uh pictures that I took from the
roof the upside with filming here is that a lot
of people get their camera out so I don't I feel like I’m blending in by filming this
for you hello it's now about lunch time and I need
to go back to do my calls to the... the united states the... the America so a bit of a rush
because I’m trying to get the 1:30.
It's one o'clock now let's see if I can get from Camden to Waterloo in under 30 minutes
I don't think I’m gonna make it let's see if I can do this
[MUSIC] I love it - I’m against the clock and this
tube train could not go any slower if it tried this isn't my train!
[MUSIC] so I’m down...
I think this is the first train to Charing Cross
[MUSIC] I know that I am in a rush because that is
why the trains are running so slowly [MUSIC]
yeah that's that's not my train turns out this this footage right here isn't
slowed down!
[MUSIC] okay out of the tube station - now over to
a ticket machine to get my network railcard ticket
[MUSIC] okay we are on platform 14 which is just over
here [MUSIC]
wow you're bringing me luck because I have never been able to do that journey in under
25 minutes!
I’ve managed to get here for 1:25 ready for the 1:30 so we're good
we're good thank you London Underground - Northern Line you rock!
[MUSIC] [MUSIC]
[MUSIC] and we're home so that was quick
everything ran to time it's not always like that even in these uh
difficult times but uh yeah I’m very grateful to the train actually making it back bang
on the dot Can you please help my daddy get 10000 subscribers,
just click on his face thanks bye!
Alright this is going to be the proper one right
