Ian Payne Urban Transport

Real-time public transport journeys — exactly as they happen.

This channel documents full train rides, London Underground journeys, National Rail services, trams and other transport experiences across the UK and Europe. Videos are filmed silently in 8K 360° on an Insta360 X5 and reframed to 4K 16:9 for an immersive ultra-wide viewing experience.

My focus is on capturing the scenery and the natural flow of life onboard — no commentary, no music, no distractions. Using 360° filming, each journey shows both the interior atmosphere and outside views through both sides of the carriage.

Where possible, journeys begin with the train arriving at the platform, followed by boarding, the full journey, and disembarking at the destination.

🚇 Regular uploads feature London Underground, Overground and National Rail, with additional journeys from Berlin & Prague

Currently at East Grinstead, I’ve just come down here on the journey from hell, a relentless audio assault from multiple sources. It’s so peaceful here now during the dwell.

Made it as far as Newark right now on my way to King’s Cross from Leeds, as you can see the rig is back to front, that’s because I thought we were pulling out in the other direction, I quickly had to shift sides, but the footage will come out the same, apart from the first few seconds where I’m scrambling like my life depended on it, so I’ll zoom that bit to the window.

When I get back to London I should have time for a Victoria to East Grinstead and return before sunset

Stay tuned
