SPEAKER_02:

Hi everybody and welcome to this special Best of 2025 episode of the UK Travel Planner Podcast. I'm here this week again with Doug.

SPEAKER_01:

Hello there. We are so excited to sit down together and look back at an amazing year of helping you plan your UK adventure.

SPEAKER_02:

We certainly are. Now it has been the biggest year yet on the podcast. We released 51 episodes. We only had last week off. And we passed a total of 500 and 555,650 downloads. And that was actually, I took that number at the beginning of December. So it's actually going to be a lot more than that now. And then more than 200,000 of those downloads have come from 2026, uh 2025 alone.

SPEAKER_01:

Wow. So thank you for listening wherever you are in the world. We've had listens from 195 countries and territories. Just think about that. I know that's crazy. Most of you are tuning in from the United States, Australia, the UK, Canada, and New Zealand. So thank you.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah, and of course, everybody else as well from all other different countries and territories around the world. It's absolutely incredible. I can't believe that we have people listening to us every week talking about beautiful places to visit in the UK, lots of tips about where to visit in the UK, trip reports in the UK, everything UK basically.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah, and listen to me talk about trains, which I do quite a bit.

SPEAKER_02:

Yes, you do talk a lot about trains, but that is that is part of the beauty of what you can offer on the podcast. So anyway, not only have we reached that many 195 countries and territories, but that's over 13,000 cities around the world. So that blows my mind. Um I mean 13,000 cities.

SPEAKER_01:

I didn't know there's that many.

SPEAKER_02:

Well, there are, and we seem to be um listened to in quite a few, quite a few cities uh on every continent in the world, except I'm sure Antarctica, unless somebody in one of those um research stations listens to penguins. You never know. You'd never never know. Um, yeah, so basically, I thought in this episode we would just um go through some of the most popular episodes that we've had this year. So have a little chat, just have a little bit of a chat about the travels that Doug and I did in the UK in 2025, talk a little bit about what's coming in 2026, um, really just end the year, um, and wish you all you know happy new year for 2026, and to encourage you to um to get in touch with your planning to visit the UK next year. So um, top episodes of the year, what do you reckon, Doug?

SPEAKER_01:

I would say something about London, discovering London.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah, okay. So I've got our top six episodes of the year, right? And um the first two are London, yeah, um, focused. So these are just episodes that came out in um 2025. So obviously it's it goes to obviously mathematically, the episodes earlier on the year are gonna done better than the episodes later on in the year. That just kind of goes how it is because some episodes have only been out for like three weeks. But anyway, I just wanted to get a taste of kind of what was really popular throughout the year. So anything London, basically. Um, so our top episode was Discover in London 5 Unmissable Experiences for Your 2025 Adventure.

SPEAKER_01:

That covers a lot of bases, yeah.

SPEAKER_02:

Well, it was my favorite experiences in London, and um, people kind of know what they are if you listen to the podcast fairly regularly, but I just wanted to uh kind of summarise those in the episode. I also did some solo episodes, which aren't my favourite. You see, you're not gonna deny that because you're gonna say I like talking, aren't you? Well, it has been noticed, but I I really don't like doing solo episodes, but I did some solo episodes, and one of those was on Exploring the Tower of London, um, and that was our second most popular episode of the year. Okay, so I also did episodes uh similar to that. I think I did one Westminster Abbey and I did one on Buckingham Palace, and I think that might be at the three. Um I can't remember now, but um, but they've all done very well. If you want more of those, let me know. Um, and then the next four most popular episodes, um, really lovely, have been with our um some of our partners that we have um been working with in 2025. Um, as you know, if you listen to the podcast, we we are we we have hugely high standards about who we partner and work with. Um we make sure that we meet all of the people uh for the companies that we work with. Um we go for try to go for small businesses, small family-owned businesses, um, because that's what we want to support. And I'm really excited to say that we have um we've we have some new partners for 2026, but I'm not gonna well, they're gonna keep those secret until 2026. Um, but there are some new um partners coming. But um, so it's a huge thank you to all our partners as they um these episodes probably early on in the year, so um they're gonna get the more numbers because that's how it works. But um Riz from XFA car, so if you're looking for a transfer from any of the London airports and beyond, uh Riz and his team are here to to look for. Um, they have excellent, excellent reviews, great credentials. Yeah, absolutely. And we often have people that say, Oh, we didn't book, but we wish you had, yeah, um, and then have had it booked a return trip to Heathrow with Riz and his team. Yeah, um, also hit Riz and his team also to um trips from London if you want to transfer to other destinations throughout the UK as well. So um you can contact Riz. But I have uh uh an a page actually on the London Travel Planning website all about uh Riz and X FA cars and transfers from uh London Airports and beyond. Uh next episode that has done really, really well was with Danielle Hancock uh from Bath Insider Tours, who talks all about um exploring Bath and beyond.

SPEAKER_01:

Beautiful.

SPEAKER_02:

Um yeah, and we've also had another episode where we've talked about Bath as well. So Bath is incredibly popular, and actually, you've just finished a YouTube video all about getting to Bath from London.

SPEAKER_01:

I really have by train from London Paddington.

SPEAKER_02:

So another very popular destination. Um, another one of our partners who cropped up in this list is Olly from Discover Real London. So if you want to take a black cab tour, private black cab tour of the London sites, um Ollie and his team from Discover Real London are absolutely just outstanding. Yeah. Outstanding. Um, and I love going around London in a black cab, and you feel like a VIP, and going around as well with one of the um drivers from Ollie's team who are just know so much about London, they are locals, they've all done the knowledge, so which means that they have studied um to be able to drive a black cab around London. Um, and just again, I mean, all of our partners get fantastic reviews, but um again, Ollie really popular. We we love going out with Ollie as well. And um, the next episode that did extremely well this year is and obviously anything to do with the Cotswolds, everybody loves listening about the Cotswolds, and is and that's Unveiling the Cotswold with Lisa Benjamin, who is absolutely amazing, yes, and Lisa and her husband Tom uh run Go Cots World, an award-winning small group tour. Yeah, I was gonna get that in award-winning small group tour company Hugh to the Cotswolds, and they are fabulous, fabulous, uh yes. Uh, and I was actually really lucky as well this year. I went on some tours with Go Cotswolds, and I know you did, but we'll talk about those in a moment.

SPEAKER_01:

With your mother.

SPEAKER_02:

Yes, you did. Well, my mom loves loves Lisa, loves Go Cotswolds. Um, she absolutely oh she she can't wait already for 2026. She's asking me what tours are gonna go out with Go Cot's Wells because she absolutely loves going out with thank you, Lisa. So thanks again to all our partners who came on the podcast in 2025.

SPEAKER_01:

Thank you.

SPEAKER_02:

You're all amazing, you're all fantastic, and uh we can't wait to speak to you again in 2026, and we have some new partners come on as well, which is gonna be so good. Um, now what about you guys? So, what is it that you wanted to know? So, we noticed the same questions coming up again and again in the Facebook group and uh via SpeakPipe and on um you know by email, and it that is basically you know where to stay in London, how long to spend at each place, um, about getting around the UK, how to create a trip that doesn't feel rushed. Um, because I know it's very easy to put a lot of try to put a lot, in fact, too much into your itinerary when you visit in the UK. Um, and obviously train travel.

SPEAKER_01:

Well, that's right. I mean, train travel was huge this year in the UK. There's new lines, there's new uh uh operators, there's there's just such a lot going on all the time in the UK. So many listers wanted help understanding the different operators, the different lines, you know, the fares, you know, the tickets, yeah, the passes. Yeah, you know, there is a lot, a lot to get your head around.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01:

So, but obviously things like uh seat reservations, when are they needed, when are they not needed, yeah, and also which are the scenic routes, you know, which is the preferred routes, which are the scenic routes.

SPEAKER_02:

So we've done a couple of things around that. So you've already got your guide to UK train travel ebook. So we've got that as available, and that is a bestseller, and you can get that. Um, we'll put a link in the show notes to that. Um, also working on YouTube videos showing people like how to get from place to place and the different options. Um, so we've already got some very popular um videos that you've put on YouTube.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02:

Um, some train ones, for example.

SPEAKER_01:

We've got the um Caledonia Sleeper, that was the Lowlander because it's not done that often. We've got the Edinburgh tram as well. For people said, let me know. Yes, I know it's on the train, it is a tram, it is different, but it's still popular. People ask that question. I also looked at the operators that operate across the East Coast main line, uh which is from London to Edinburgh. London King's Cross up to Edinburgh, Waverley, the East Coast main line. So the Caledonian sleeper ones on the west coast main line, and that's from London, Euston. So I've just done the video from London Paddington to Bath. I've got videos looking at all the well, nine of the major use uh London train stations. I've got trains down uh how to get to Windsor, how to get to Hampton Court, how down to get to Brighton. I've also got the West Coast going up from uh Houston to um Edinburgh Waverly. Also purchased a Brit Rail Pass, so I'll explain how to use that as well, and much more.

SPEAKER_02:

So there's lots and lots to come on YouTube, so do follow UK travel planning on YouTube so you can catch up with Doug's videos all about train travel. We are planning, we had planned to do this end of January. We're gonna have to put it back uh slightly because of uh just some logistical issues. Um, is that Doug's gonna be doing a um uh workshop on planning a UK train trip um and some to sort of explaining uh some of those things like how to choose the right pass, whatever for yourself, how to save money, how to plan your trip. Um, so that is hopefully become becoming uh at some point next year.

SPEAKER_01:

That's right. I mean, I've got a lot of experience uh with you know not just travelling by train, I actually worked in the industry across many different parts of the industry. So I know what I'm talking about with this.

SPEAKER_02:

Exactly, and you've helped we've obviously helped lots of people um planning their train trips through consults.

SPEAKER_01:

So I'm happy to share that with them.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah, so of course, a lot of the answers to a lot of the questions like about London transport, driving routes, how to get from the airport into London, best day trips from London, um things to do in Bath, things to do in Edinburgh, all sorts of we've got so many different topics, so many questions that have come in. Um, but I just want to point out, and I as I I say in the Facebook group, and a lot of these questions, in fact, 99.9% of these questions are answered either through the podcast or on our website to UK Travel Planning, LondonTravelplanning.com. So we've got two different websites. We've got a UK website, so it covers all of the UK, so that's England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland, and we have a dedicated London website as well with very specific information about London. And we do have products as well. So we have a London map, we've got a London itinerary planner, we've got itinerary planners for the UK, and we do have some more surprises coming next year as well, in terms of um different products to help you plan your trip. So we have products, obviously, we have services as well. So, I mean, we we did this year create a new um kind of service to help you plan your trip. So, previous to this year we did one-to-one consults only, where you booked us for an hour and we would go through your itinerary, fine-tune it with you, answer any questions. But because we were traveling a lot, we offered a video consult, yeah, and that's done really well as well.

SPEAKER_01:

That's proven very popular, yeah.

SPEAKER_02:

So, what if for it when it comes to a video consult, just to explain the difference, and I'm gonna explain this a bit more in the first episode of 2026. But basically, you if you have an itinerary, you can send us that itinerary, and we will do a video um critique with um uh tips and answer your questions and links, we'll add links in. Uh, we'll do a very thorough uh review of your itinerary and streamline. We streamline and then reply to you. Um, we'll give you a Google Doc and we'll reply to you in a video. So you get that. Um so that's one way that you can uh work with us. The alternative way is that you can book us for an hour and we can help you with your itinerary, answer questions. We do ask that you have an idea of where you want to go to make the most of an hour. Um, but that's what we do at the moment. And actually, we will be launching a if you want us to completely plan your itinerary, but we can't book anything because we're not travel agents, but we we are travel planners. If you want us to plan your trip, you haven't got time, um, you can contact us with that. We'll send you a questionnaire and we can start, we can actually put together your itinerary. Um, but you need to contact us because we need to talk about all the different there's lots of variables if you prefer us to do that. But if you're a planner and you've got a vague idea and you know what you want to do and what sort of things you want to actually put into your trip and you have that kind of itinerary, um, say at least a rough itinerary, then either the video or the one-to-one consult is the way to go. Yes. Um, and and Doug can do consults just about trains if you want. We have and we have done uh ones that are just dedicated to planning your uh UK rail adventure.

SPEAKER_01:

Bear in mind, I have done every line. Yes, you have. I know where they're on.

SPEAKER_02:

I don't know anybody that knows as much as you do about the UK. Not only have you worked on the on the railways, you built trains, tested them, commissioned them. Exactly. So I I uh yeah, I just think you've had so much experience from the shop floor up.

SPEAKER_01:

Um and management, yeah, project manager.

SPEAKER_02:

Exactly. So so much experience. So you know, tap into that knowledge if you're concerned about your train travels in the UK and want some support and help with that. Doug's the person to contact and work with. Again, I'll put the links in the into the show notes for this one. Now, this year we did spend some time in the UK. You spent more time than I did. Um first six weeks of the year, we were living in Edinburgh. Yes, um, we used that as a base, and um I did some travels down to London, spent a bit of time in London, uh, got the Caledonia sleep up to Vaness, which was lovely. And then you did some travels around Scotland. You had it, you even headed over to Northern Ireland, didn't you?

SPEAKER_01:

I did. I caught the train from Edinburgh to Glasgow, then I caught the hand coaches uh cross to Belfast and then travel back the following day.

SPEAKER_02:

All for a YouTube video?

SPEAKER_01:

So yeah, so as much as I love trains, I'm not great on the water. No, you're not, but I did it. Luckily, it was very smooth.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah, so uh that was good. It was actually good to be based in Edinburgh, it was good to be in Scotland for the six weeks. The weather, of course, that time of the year was a bit challenging, and unfortunately, one of the reasons we wanted to be in Edinburgh was for Hogmonny, because I've been desperate to go to Hogbone my entire life. And what happens? Massive storm, and it was called off. So unfortunately, still have not been to Hogmoney.

SPEAKER_01:

Can happen, yeah. And I was I travelled to Inverness, I was in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Dundee, Perth.

SPEAKER_02:

Yes.

SPEAKER_01:

I travelled round a bit and I got stranded in Inverness. You did, yes.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah, you did. Now I did, as I say, I went down to London quite a bit as well. Um, took Caledonian sleeper back up to Inverness and then took the train to Edinburgh just because I love doing the Caledonian sleeper. Uh, when I was in London, I went to Evensong at St. Paul's Cathedral, which was so lovely. Um, I went out with another one of our partners. I went out with the English bus and I took it. Oh, well, I loved it, had a fantastic tour with them, and we went to Stonehenge, Bath, and then we went to a secret Cotswolds village, which I'm not going to tell you what it is because it's a secret. Um, again, uh, we've had so much feedback from those of you who've booked with the English bus, how fantastic it was and the amazing uh day out you had. I will say as well for the English Bus and for Go Cotwells, we do have promo codes for um a small discount. So do check out uh on the website. I will put in the show notes so that you can uh use that, use the link um and the promo code to get a small discount with both Goth Cottswolds and um the English bus. Now you went out with the Cotswolds as well. Go Cotswolds.

SPEAKER_01:

I had a most fantastic day. It was absolutely wonderful. It was a lovely autumn day or fall day, and the colours, the sun was out just amazing.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah, so it was you've had it, and I've been having a great time just on the podcast talking to all of our partners as well, which has been fantastic. Um, and also meeting some of our listeners when we've been out and about in person is always amazing. The first time we were recognised, I think it was in in London. I was actually doing a show at Buckingham Palace, and I it was a bit, I was like, oh my goodness. Um I kind of got used to that now, which is a bit strange. Um, I don't know if people recognise my voice or I suppose maybe see my face on Instagram and stuff like that. Um, but that's lovely. We love it when people and I know you got recognized in Edinburgh because your legs on the tram.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah, that's true. I have quite a distinctive legs, yes.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah, well, that was actually September last year, but it was still it was absolutely amazing. Um, and of course, I've spoken to so many of you as well for your trip reports. Um, and I know they are really, really popular. Um, and we love talking to you about all the different trips and and uh you know how you've planned, whether it's a you know, um that whether it's uh two of you gone on holder, whether you've gone solo, whether it's uh you know, different age groups from your family, different size groups, whatever. It's always fantastic to chat to you about your about your trip, yeah, and what you really enjoyed about your trip. Um, and of course, as I said, we're we've we're continuing to grow our network of trusted UK partners, and we've got some really exciting news coming in 2026. So hang on to the podcast next year to um to listen to that. Um now we talked a little bit about your trip over in September. We actually have an entire podcast uh about that. Um, but you did spend kind of uh the entire time really was about YouTube.

SPEAKER_01:

It was it was trains, trains, trains, and more trains around London, around the rest of the country. It's just basically gathering footage with different operators and how to catch the train, not so much about the places themselves, but about which station, particularly from London where you've got so many stations. I chose nine of the main ones, uh, tourist stations and did videos or gathered uh footage about you know where do you catch the train from this station to which areas?

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01:

You know, that's sort of how long does the journey take? And some of those stations are quite large, how to navigate around them, things like that. It's all those practical things that you need to know about if you want to say catch a train from London. So I went yeah, to Bryan, I went up to the Cotswolds, I w I went to Bath, Oxford, Oxford, uh Cambridge. Not to mention sort of uh Glasgow and Edinburgh.

SPEAKER_02:

So all of that's coming to the and that's not coming to the podcast, that will be coming to YouTube, but I did want to share that on the podcast. And Doug will be back in 2026 to share more about train travel in the UK. Um, I think we'll probably maybe try and do an episode where we'll talk about things like the the train passes and the Brit rail pass.

SPEAKER_01:

I think it might be useful. Yeah, it's quite complex, and I've had you know many, many years to get my head around it. And so if you're planning a trip, um you know you're new to it, it it can be quite overwhelming. And some people I find it a little bit stressful. So it doesn't matter, you can ask me the same question ten times. Yeah, I don't mind.

SPEAKER_02:

I was gonna say you also have a Facebook group that is just about UK train travel tips, so yeah, you can join that as well and ask questions on that. Of course, there's there's quite a lot of train travel uh podcast, focus podcasts as well. Now, so we've had a fantastic year, we've done a lot of consults, we've done a lot of podcasts, you've done a few YouTube videos with more to come. Um I'm planning in 2026 when it comes to the podcast, um, I'm planning to do a bit more deep dives into some of their different areas of London. I think that's something that um I know that people have kind of asked. They want to know a little bit about, you know, what is that to do in Westminster? What is that do in Covent Garden? So I'm going to be sharing a little bit more deep dives into each of those different areas. We'll be continuing to get our new partners and past partners onto the podcast as well to talk about the various regions and areas that they um that they work in, that they tour in, that they can share, you know, valuable tips and information uh with you as well. And also so you can meet them because I think when you're planning your trip and you're thinking about what tour to take or uh which company to go with, it's so lovely for you to be able to hear the those people who run and own the companies or do the tours, and and you can actually kind of get to know them through the podcast, and that is the beauty of the podcast. And uh definitely so we will continue to do the podcast every week um in 2026. I have some plans to go back in 2026. I actually fly into the UK on I arrive on the 10th of March. Um, I'll be back in the UK for a few months. I've got some fantastic things planned. Um, hopefully, I'll be also doing maybe some I'll do some Instagram stuff, but probably more Instagram shorts and definitely be things on Instagram so you can follow on that. Also, we'll be reporting back on the the podcast um from that trip. You'll no doubt be able to find me at some point in London at the VA.

SPEAKER_01:

Most likely. Look in the T room.

SPEAKER_02:

Um no cast courts, I would say. Then the T room. Um, and then obviously I'll be I'll be continuing to, as I say, work with a number of our wonderful partners in the UK um to showcase just how amazing they are. Um I'm trying to think what else we'll be doing next year, but at the moment we've kind of got the first six months planned. After that, it's a bit of a question mark. So if you have something in particular uh that you'll particularly really want to know about, interested in, um, get in touch. And I do know if uh I did have a request a while ago for um some uh an episode about the Channel Islands. Now they're bailiwicks, um, so they're slightly different, and I would have to explain how that works, but we can talk about that in an episode. I know Doug's very passionate about uh Guernsey. I've recently visited Jersey, so I'd love to chat about those and what it means um to be a bailiwick. Yeah, uh, and um I know we've been asked again to do an episode about some of the um country gardens. Uh so I wouldn't mind doing it because I'm gonna be back at a time when I'm gonna be able to explore uh in a bit more depth a lot of the beautiful English country gardens.

SPEAKER_01:

Well, there's gonna be lots and lots of questions about trains coming, so obviously I'm gonna need to go back at some point to update some of those and get find the answers.

SPEAKER_02:

Right, okay. Well we'll see how it goes. Right. Well, that that is kind of what I'll plan. So a lot about London, some stuff about gardens for sure, lots about trains, um, lots of usual practical travel tips. But do a couple of things I'm gonna ask. Please, please, please get in touch via Speakpipe if there's a particular topic that you would like us to cover. Obviously, we're gonna head to 200 episodes not too in the not too distant future. So that's 200 huge, like that's a crazy 200 episodes about different places around the UK to visit. Um, but we still want ideas from you guys about what is it that you want to know? What is it that's missing, what do you kind of you know, what is it that we haven't yet answered for you.

SPEAKER_01:

Um I seriously, if there's any questions about uh trains or was there anything, any gap or anything you want to know, please ask. Please ask.

SPEAKER_02:

Get in touch via Speedpipe or email us or join one of the Facebook groups and let us know. Do give us a follow on YouTube, follow us on Instagram. Also, if you enjoy the podcast, we would really ask if you would consider sponsoring us from as little as three US dollars a month to sponsor us. That's not even a cup of coffee, helps keep us going. Um, it's expensive to run a podcast, it's not a cheap thing to do. It takes a lot of time as well, a lot of energy, but we are so dedicated to getting this podcast out to you every week. Um, so that's something, or if you can't do that, then just share it with your friends and or leave us a or leave us a five-star review on your favourite podcast app because that also really helps to get us out there. Let's get to that millionth download of our podcast. I'm so excited about that. Anyway, I think that is it really. Just to wish everybody a happy and safe new year. Most definitely so, yeah. You know, we're gonna see you in 2026 for another great year of planning your perfect UK adventure. Um, but I think that just leaves for both me and Doug to say until next year.

SPEAKER_01:

Next year.
