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 slow transport experiences across the UK and Europe. All videos are filmed silently in 8K 360° on an Insta360 X5 and reframed to 4K 16:9 for the most immersive viewing.

My focus is on capturing the natural flow of life onboard — no commentary, no music, no distractions. Thanks to 360° filming, each journey shows the interior atmosphere and outside scenery together — often through both sides of the carriage — for a uniquely wide and complete experience.

🚇 Regular uploads feature London’s Underground, Overground, and National Rail, with additional content from Berlin, Prague, buses coming soon.

This is Ian Payne Urban Transport — Experience every journey from the window seat — just as if you were there.
