@ Underground202. Good vid. I think it's the fastest accelerating tube train on the underground system! Feels almost effortless. It goes so fast between Hanger Lane and South Ruslip I sometimes think the train's gonna come off the track! It look like it's moving fast even though it's just coasting between White City and switch over before East Action. Smooth ride too for a tube stock train. I sometimes wonder if BREL over engineered this train stock.

I was on the Chancery Lane train derailment when I was a kid on my way to my first ever Arsenal match. Still managed to get out and to the game just in time 😂
OUTSTANDING FOOTAGE Outstanding footage and conversation........just a pity some of it was unclear at times, due to the volume or the train being in a tunnel. Such a wealth of experience here.... Plus, the footage 'out in the countryside' is remarkable.........almost a part of the Underground that we never think about.... James Hennighan Yorkshire, England
Hello from across "the pond" from a fellow urban transport video creator. great footage. I am working my way through the London rail transport lines and consider myself very lucky to catch your video only seven days after its release. Keep doing what you love and your subscriber numbers are very good..👍👍👍👍👍
Well we can always dream. And maybe one day you'll coax TfL to let you make full series on the cab rides. CTA in Chicago did it. Soo there is a tiny sliver of hope for our dreams ;)
One thing I also find interesting is that at St Paul's the Westbound is on top of the eastbound but at chancery Lane it switches so the eastbound is on top due to the surroundings
Your Training to be a tube driver unfortunately they will put you where on any Line which depot need drivers more then you will be in the project Paul system for 2 years
@@BenTaylor. The way it works is you nominate your preferences (which I have) but there’s no guarantee I’ll get my preferred depots. I’ll be a “pool” driver at first, getting the dog end shifts nobody wants before moving on from that, that’s providing I pass.
Pity no low light footage have seen Piccadilly line and Northern line videos where the tunnel features were reasonably clear not just a black screen between stations. Chat very informative
Hi thank you for your feedback for future cab rides a lot lessons have been learned since I filmed this I will look into I’m using a GoPro hero 10 but upgrading to GoPro hero 11 and I will also look into 4K
@@BenTaylor. When going 4k you need to use capable memory cards as data flow from camera increase a lot. Make sure that MC is capable to record all of them - otherwise video will stick. So - check speed and memory capacity. GoPro version 10 is OK. 11 is better - of course.
Ah you wanted to talk to you I have 2 drivers eye views in the works unfortunately the frame rate on the new driver eye views will be locked at 60 FPS this is due to high demand on the battery overheats after 45 mins in 4K however before I mount the cameras I have window wipes and I will clean the glass. Hopefully this makes a difference and the first one is due to release three months roughly I want to take my time to make them the best they can be. Please let me know your thoughts.
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.
