Nick Badley

Nick Badley (born: )https://x.com/NickBadley/status/1719505279123882160?s=20 is a British railway vlogger, known for often doing unusual and bizarre train journeys around the country.
==History==
Nick established his channel in November 2018; however, he didn't upload his first video until April 2022. This first video showcased a Class 777 arriving at Sandhills station. For the first two months, he focused on creating arrival and departure videos, which he eventually unlisted due to deeming them "low effort." His debut of a "proper" video, titled "Visiting All Merseyrail Stations," took place on June 25th, 2022. His passion for trains is said to have originated from living next to a railway line in Barnet during his early years. While he held a degree of fondness for trains throughout his childhood, it was receiving a model train set for his 18th birthday that he claims "triggered an epiphany," leading to his deep fascination with trains.
Nick's second video, "Secrets of Merseyrail," marked his initial significant success, amassing over 60,000 views as of August 2024. This accomplishment introduced him to fellow British railway content creators such as JenOntheMove and SimOnTrains. In June 2023, he introduced his girlfriend, Natt, to the channel, and she made her debut appearance in the video titled "I Visited the Edinburgh Trams!"
