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.

In this super-sized episode of Nick's ERT, we’re back on track with more theme park tea—because Universal’s UK park plans just won’t quit!

In the first half, Nick is joined by Hannah to take a wander through the latest changes coming to Walt Disney Studios Park in Paris. From reimagined lands to possible new IPs, what’s in store for the French mouse house and is this really in retaliation to Universal coming to the UK?!

Then, it’s all aboard to Bedford! In part two, Nick and Adam dream big as they dig into the themes, rumours, and wild hopes for Universal’s potential UK resort—and how its arrival could shake the foundations of Merlin’s magic and Mickey’s European empire.
