If you were going on a 5 hour train journey with a 12 yr old boy …

… what would you download to watch together on an iPad? I’m looking for a series we can binge watch or maybe a movie or two?

How to train your dragon or the Lego movie

Would let him watch and play whatever he likes and you do whatever you’d like!

Blackadder

But for the love of god watch it with headphones on.

I'd also bring some card games. Five hours of screen time is too much for anyone.

Modern Family

Thank you for the recommendations! Definitely not planning for constant screen time and will most certainly be wearing headphones!

we haven’t actually watched any of the things mentioned so far so I’ll ask him how he feels about all of them - thanks!
