My trip to Washington D.C. meant that I also got to a make a video about it for the new website that I work for.
And I liked it so much I thought I’d put on here as a perfect compliment to my write-up of D.C. in my previous post.
I started my blog as a continuation of the daily write-up that I did when I got 500 people to give me 50p so that I could buy an iPod.
There's a lot of tube related stuff on this site due to me being a former World Record Holder for travelling around the entire network (275 stations) in the fastest time possible back in May 2004.
After living in London for the first 33 years of my life and working for the BBC News website I moved to Charleston, South Carolina in the USA in May 2006 for three and a half years before moving back to England and back to work for the BBC in November 2009.
So for ten weeks in June, July and August 2009, I drove 20,000 miles around the the lower 48 contiguous states of the USA visiting towns and places that shared the same name as places on The London Tube Map.

Well it’s not Clapham junction is it? Good bit of reporting anyway, very professional.
Liking the video! How fast do the trains go? I remember being in Ontario in the summer of ’99 and man how slow do the trains go there! About 30mph, down hill!!
nice piece … and i’m not knocking train travel … but you make it sound like the airfare between Charlotte and DC is a fixed price – surely you can get discounted airfares by booking in advance, just like you get on the train ??
I wish my broadband was faster than dial-up…
