🚇 Uncover the mysteries of the London Underground with a real train driver! 🕵️‍♂️ In this eye-opening video, we spill the beans on 7 secrets that will change the way you see the Tube forever.
🕑 Secret #1: Ever worried about missing the last train? Fear not! Once you're past the ticket barrier, the station staff will make sure the train waits for you. Find out how this insider knowledge can save your night out!
🚄 Secret #2: Discover the truth about the speed of different tube lines. Did you know the Bakerloo is the slowest, and the Central is the fastest? But beware, there's a twist that makes the Central line the most crowded.
💡 Secret #3: Step into the world of train operators, where they navigate almost complete darkness in their cabins. No lamps, no overhead lights - find out how they manage to keep the Underground moving seamlessly.
🐾 Secret #4: From hawks to rabbits and even deers! Train drivers share their encounters with wildlife, but not in the tunnels, of course. Get ready for some surprising stories from above ground.
🤖 Secret #5: Uncover the truth about automated tube lines! Six lines operate without constant human control. Learn how train operators intervene only when there's a glitch in the system.
🚽 Secret #6: Curious about the call of nature for train drivers? Explore the existence of secret bathrooms hidden in most stations, exclusively for the Tube's unsung heroes.
🗺️ Secret #7: Journey into the hidden world of Tube maps! London Transport employees have their own secret map, and it's different from the one we're familiar with. Get a glimpse of the mysterious alternative map that guides the Underground staff.

To say 'you can never miss..' is optimistic. It used to be the case that they would escort all the latecomers through the tunnels to make sure they got their train. I can't see them bothering now, what with night tube, all-night buses and the complexities of interacting with other transport providers.

If we are going to be longer then we call the controller and ask for a PNR (Personal Need Relief). Oh the very rare occasion something happens on the line, we can call a PNR but it's at very few stations this is available so we are at the mercy of luck.

Is it true there are fully automated trains where the driver only intervenes when there is a problem? What do they do the rest of the time? Also, it sounds like dim lights in the driver's cabin could be true, if for some reason the train stops between stations bright lights would make it harder to adapt to the dark in the tunnels, can you confirm?

Not totally untrue though. I live next to the Picadilly line. I walk 20 mins to Central line rather than take Picadilly. Central is fast, frequent and straight across London.

I worked on the Underground in 1986 to 1990. Back then loads of people would miss the last train. There were no barriers, in fact they were just starting to talk about implementing them. Back then it was called the UTS. The Underground Ticketing System. We nicknamed it the Useless Ticketing System, because we all thought it wouldn't be as good as having a ticket collector on the barrier and people would just jump over them. I was the Station Forewoman at Chalk Farm and I would have to lock up the station after the last train and open it up again in the morning while I was on the night shift. I was rarely on my own though, because the P-Way guys were stationed there and they often worked through the night, though we had separate offices.

If you’re in the deep stations near the Thames look at the tunnel mouths. A lot of them have flood doors which can be closed if there’s a major breach. In the tunnels if you look out the windows you’ll see 2 bare copper wires about 6 inches apart. As I understand it a driver can connect a crude phone to them to speak to their control room.

The last time I was on The Tube in London was on the 25th June 2002 from Heathrow to Piccadilly Circus (apparently the last train) off the last flight from Dublin heading for Soho - Heathrow at that hour is like another planet, I had no idea where I was going in Central London and the tube staff at Heathrow were incredibly arrogant and rude, adding to my terror of travelling alone outside Ireland and I was terrified and scared stiff the whole time, being directly underneath Big Ben at the stroke of Midnight, which frightened the living daylights out of me, having got lost half way up The Mall - what I did notice about the tube even on a chilly night was the intense wall of heat in the tube tunnels and platforms - I spent most of that night in Balan’s Coffee Shop in Soho, heading for Euston the next morning for the train to Manchester but got lost on the Circle Line trying to find Euston with an outdated copy of Spartacus gay guide for London

The reason why bakerloo line is the slowest is because it is in a Manuel mode while the other lines are runned by a computer (ato)

I live near the central line so I take it alot but once I was coming home from London on the central line and there were so many people on it that we were packed like sardines and the train kept stopping and starting 💀

Subway train drivers in Stockholm isnt allowed to walk up or down stairs while clocked in and is forced to use the elevators. Its so they dont ruin their legs

I score this 3/7. 1 - false, you can miss the last train 2 - central is not the fastest line and its crowded for other reasons 3 - trains do have lights in the cabin 5 - trains are not completely automated, braking and speed are sometimes on some lines

You forgot the animal ones, there's only one true hawk in Britain, deer and foxes are only seen in the average persons life like twice a month so there's no way

I'm intrigued by the other map - can you do a longer video on that and in more detail?

The video is nonsense. The last map is not what they claim; it's the PAYG pricing map, it's not a "tube map".
