I missed travelling on underground tubes in London. I got the buzz n addicted to it. The speed of these tubes r remarkable get London back to business ASAP
London has some of the funkiest trains around, but damn, their system rocks! One thing, though: their trains sure are short. I'm only 5'4" and I almost hit my head on a couple of them :)
A bit of info about the lines and the trains each line runs. Bakerloo Line: Operates 1972 Tube Stock, currently the oldest type of train on the network. A disused cab can be seen in the middle of the 6 carriage train, a holdover from plans to run the line with 4 carriage trains during off-peak times. These plans fell through, and the cab remains unused. Central Line: One of just two deep level lines that run 8 carriages. Runs 1992 stock trains that sound suspiciously like washing machines. Circle Line: No longer a circle as the line was extended to Hammersmith in 2009. Formerly ran C69/77 stock until 2014 when they were replaced by S7 stock. S stock are standardised units for all sub-surface lines for ease of maintenance. District Line: Formerly ran D78 stock until 2017, though some C stock was used as well. Now uses the same S7 stock as the Circle Line. Hammersmith and City Line: Technically the newest line as it was introduced in 1990, but runs on existing tracks. Shares most of its tracks with Circle, Metropolitan & District Lines, making it maybe a little superfluous. Ran C69/77 stock until the types replacement by S7 stock in 2014. All S7 stock are interchangeable between lines. Jubilee Line: The newest purpose built Line on the network, originally ran from Stanmore to Charing Cross. The line was extended to Stratford in 1999, and the Charing Cross branch closed. Formerly ran 1972 and 1983 stock, before 1996 stock was introduced just prior to the extension opening. 1996 Stock have one of the more distinctive motor sounds of all LU Stock and are 7 carriages long. Metropolitan Line: The oldest route on the network. Formerly ran A60/62 stock until 2012, when A stock was replaced by S8 stock. S8's differ from S7's by being 1 carriage longer, and having some more typical transverse seating arrangements on board, compared to fully longitudinal on S7. S8's do not run on other lines. Northern Line: Runs 1995 Stock, visually similar, though mechanically different from the 1996 Stock. 1995 stock are 6 carriages long. Plans to extend the trains to 7 carriages were never undertaken, and the trains don't fill the entire platform at stations that can accommodate 7 carriages. Piccadilly Line: Runs 6 carriage 1973 Stock. Though visually similar to 1972 stock, these trains differ in not having the defunct cab in carriage 3/4, and have a drivers cab door that 1972 stock lack. Victoria Line: The only deep level line that is entirely underground (save for its depot). Formerly ran 1967 Stock until replacement in 2011 by 8 carriage 2009 Stock. Waterloo and City Line: The shortest, most useless line on the network? Originally operated by British Rail and only made part of the true LU network in 1994. Runs 4 carriage 1992 Stock, which when introduced by British Rail were classified Class 482 under TOPS. The trains ran in original Network SouthEast colours until refurbishment in 2006. All trains now run in LU Corporate livery.
Bakerloo: Brown Circle: yellow Center: red Elizbezath: lilac/violet Overground: Orange or coral Metropolitan: purple/magenta Jubillne: Light grey/silver Northern: Black Victoria: blue DLR: sky blue W&C: Pink Piccadilly: dark blue District: green H&C: turquorise/green-blue/cyan/aquamarine/light teal
A couple of mistakes here: 1) The Elizabeth Line technically isn't part of the Underground; it's a commuter railway built to connect Reading and Heathrow in the West to Abbey Wood and Shenfield in the East. It's a lot like the RER in Paris, connecting suburbs to the city. 2) Neither is the Overground; that's another commuter railway that circles London. Both the Overground and Elizabeth Line are operated by TfL (Transport for London), which also happens to operate the Underground, as well most other transport in London (hence the name). 3) The DLR is a kind of aqua blue, the Overground is orange and not coral, the H&C is a salmon pink, and the W&C is turquoise.
apart from Northern being overcrowded yes they are. Northern serves almost all the key places in the city due to its two branches & Jubilee connects two major mainline terminals to West End.
Wait? London has covid now? Is the virus really that powerful? Well, I stayed at home in my country for 2 months. And during that time, we were “told” not to hear anything news from the outside world...
I live in a town a few miles outside London. I catch the class 377 electrostar train of southeastern from west malling to London. I even remembered catching the circle line to blackfriars because of a school trip to the tate modern
I thought bakerloo had the oldest stock. But when I went home in 2018 the Piccadilly line has some old trains too! I think one of the ones I rode on was either 1972 or 1967?? Was shocked it was still in service.
Denise Rothwell I don’t know of it ur fav line or ur home line (when I mean home line I mean like the nearest train line) but central line is my second favourite
I like all the lines, except the Bakerloo, I just don't like it's name. And my closest station is Uxbridge, so my closest lines are the Met and Piccadilly.
When I was 7, I went to London and my hotel was near marble arch, I went with my guardian off to the tube, and I saw a sign saying, “trains now go to Epping” or something, but I didn’t know the Epping was a Terminus, so I bought a ticket-I don’t know why, and went on the train, slowly, I realized that epping was a terminus, then I got really impatient when I arrived a Epping I didn’t know what to do, I didn’t even know that I was supposed to be on the other platform haha, so uhh.. moral of the story: don’t be like 7 yr old me 😅
@@benedekhalda-kiss9737 sorry, I meant the 73 Stock. The 73 Stock and S Stock my favourites. That reminds me, if I remember correctly, I've never been on the W&C line! But I'm a fan of the 92 Stock, and the 96 Stock. Don't you love that noise the 96 Stock makes when it departs? I'm addicted to it lol.
@@benedekhalda-kiss9737 wow! That's so cool, I'm from London, and someone not even British has been on more lines than me 😂 I've never been on the Trams, not even the Overground, but I have been on the DLR. My local Tube station is only a 3 hour walk away from where I live, but don't worry, it's only 15 minutes on the bus, and I haven't been on the Tube for maybe even over a year now... I only go on it to see family, but the bus service has become faster for me to see family. And I especially miss the sound the 96 Stock makes, became I haven't been on a line other than the Metropolitan and Piccadilly for years! And my local station is Uxbridge, so I haven't come CLOSE to hearing that 96 Stock noise 😭 I miss the Tube 😭
@@central-city You don't have to remember the name, you only have to point the camera at the name or at least close enough so we can see it. From all over the world we are just seeing trains. It's nice to know where they are. Thanks for the reply .
@@central-city Keep them up, I haven't been to London for many years in fact I haven't been to that side of the planet for many years and miss the place. I like watching your videos.
These are all the 11 lines on the London Underground Tube. Pause the video and click the timelines below to see what the trains look like. (Click "Read more" for more) 0:07 Bakerloo Line #1 2:14 Central Line #2 3:57 Circle Line #3 4:58 District Line #4 6:23 Hammersmith & City Line #5 7:57 Jubilee Line #6 9:23 Metropolitan Line #7 10:39 Northern Line #8 12:16 Piccadilly Line #9 13:39 Victoria Line #10 15:00 Waterloo & City Line #11 I hope you know all the trains when you reach the bottom!
SMRT C151A Productions the colour of the caption is the colour the lines depicted on the map. It’s also used right through the trains and stations - so for example Central line trains tend to have red on their interior grab poles, and throughout the platforms and stations
@@davidhopkins8967 I'm not talkimg about that. Can you only check some of Central City's Chinese Subway Videos including Shanghai Metro, look at the line name/number.
