First time in the New Forest - London day trip | UK train travel vlog

I took the train to the New Forest (first time there for me!), explored Lyndhurst a little, went for a super easy walk, and saw quite a few wild horses near Brockenhurst, before I headed back to London for dinner with one of my best friends.

I live in Zurich and most of my train travel is around there, and I'm trying to visit all 1720 Swiss public transport train stations... wish me luck!
However, this is Episode 2 of my 'UK Train Travel' series. I don't have a specific goal for how many stations to visit, but I'm trying to see more of the UK, so I'm keeping count.

Train stations newly visited today:
Basingstoke
Brockenhurst
(I'm counting a train station as visited if I've spent 15min in the area, or walked/cycled from it to another train station or vice versa.)

Note about my All Swiss Stations project: For the number of Swiss stations which form part of the public transport system, I have linked the relevant source on my website, but since that data changes, the total I'm working towards may also change. Sorry about the inconsistencies across videos as a result!
