In this very special episode of Nick’s ERT, Nick is joined by fellow theme park aficionado Adam for a journey with a difference — quite literally! The pair hop on a train from London to Bedford to visit the proposed site for the UK’s brand-new Universal Studios theme park. Join them on the rails as they chat candidly about what this massive project could mean for British tourism, the UK theme park landscape and Merlin’s monopoly. From the excitement of immersive lands and blockbuster IPs to the challenges of local infrastructure, planning red tape, and good old British weather — nothing is off-limits. It’s part travelogue, part theme park speculation, and 100% ERT. So sit back, grab a sandwich from the trolley and enjoy the ride to what could be the UK’s most ambitious theme park yet.
