Why are there no signals. I have watched other videos on the Piccadilly Line and you literally can't blink for fear of missing a signal. Yet on the Northern Line it would appear that there is nothing. Clearly I must be missing something, so would appreciate a response from anyone who can put me straight. If it is because the train has onboard systems that advise red, green etc, then fine, but what happens if that system on the train failed? Many thanks.
May I ask what game you're playing, i'm very intrigued, and yes, I do have a pc if the game you're playing needs to be played on a pc, and not a mobile device.
After you left Kings Cross st Pancras, where does the track coming out from the left go too and why does it go there and also do you know the purpose of the junction just after where the track went off to the right but we went down the left?
Hi, Ben. I am a HUGE fan of the Tube. In fact for my 30th birthday next year, my family is coming to London. Do you have any recommendations (restaurants or special places) on where to have my 30th birthday party while I am in London next year? My name is Olivia, by the way
The 1960 TRT was having issues with the recording equipment and whilst it was off for repairs, this 1972mk2 unit, borrowed from the Bakerloo line, was filling in for the meantime, even returning back to the Northern Line after over 20 odd years away. It is fully compatible with the signalling system and can operate on the Piccadilly line during service hours. When it returned to the Northern line, it could only use it during engineering hours at night without the 1995 stock running at the same time as the line upgraded to automatic train operation and not compatible with the signalling system to run during service hours, since it left for the Bakerloo line in the late 1980s.
From a different railway trip, the headlights on the old stock (1973) are only really there so the passengers see the train coming. Possible brighter lights on newer trains.
Years ago I was getting off the tube with my dad and I took longer cos I was afraid of the gap. My dad had a bag on his back and as he went to get off the door shut with him on the outside and the bag on the inside with it still attached to him and me and my mum shouted STOP!!! As the train started to pull away . Thankfully stopped just before it went in the tunnel . I’ve never forgotten (this was the early 1990s)
I'm not sure if the commentary was a person or a robot but it was incredibly boring. Some facts were given, but no additional interesting/personality information. The tunnels seemed pitch black in contrast to another underground train video I recently watched where signals and signs were reasonably clear, plus a commentary explanation was given. Maybe the camera wasn't high quality. Anyway, 23 minutes was MORE than enough for me, whereas I watched the previous video from start to finish. I don't wish to be cruel to the producers...just honest so they may up their game if any of my comments were constructive.
I was a student in London from 1988 to 1992. I sometimes took trains from Edgware to the city if I wanted a leisurely ride (rather than the faster Jubilee line). I believe at that time the Northern Line trains were not this color. Anyway thanks for such a nostalgic video
