Dining on a 1967 Victoria Line Carriage 

Our thanks to the Supperclub and head chef Beatriz Maldonado (Bea) for having myself and Luke along for the evening! The Tube carriage is owned and permamently stationed at The Pumphouse Museum, which is open to the public on Sundays. The Supperclub operates on Thursday / Friday / Saturday evenings, and really does serve up some incredibly declious food. We weren't paid to make this video, they just covered the cost of our meal. Thanks again!

A PA system should be put into the carriage so the chef can apologise for the delay in the diners getting their food.

Normal people When hungry when commuting: right lets just get a take-away, eat it on the tube Geoff: CANDLE LIT DINING ON THE TUBE

Had this vision of a private dining car train service on the tube for a minute, whooshing past the commuters on the platforms at Oxford Street.

I love how the chef introduced herself and told you about the food. That's a nice little touch that you don't usually find in a restaurant.

Free dinner on a disused tube train: Excellent Hanging out with Tubemapper aka Luke: Awesome Train restaurant cat: Cute! Geoff getting to play with the controls on the train: Priceless.

It's fascinating the way they've adapted the cars as a restaurant, I must try it sometime. I was equally as amazed that they have an unrefurbished carriage in there, certainly no Victoria Line trains were running in that condition (or with the original grey/black /red seats) for quite a few years before the 2009 stock came in to replace it. The maps look old style too, going back to the line's opening in 1968. As you say Geoff, that one must have been withdrawn much earlier!

My mums father who died in December 1970 loved the Victoria line he lived at Highbury and it got him to his office in Victoria in less then 20 minutes. I used those trains from mid 1980s born in 1982.

Dining on a 1967 Tube carriage, now that is a brilliant idea! Reminds me of Le Train Bleu that was once on the rooftop of the Bloomingdale's flagship store in Manhattan. It was a French bistro modeled after the dining car of the luxurious Calais-Mediterranée Express. A stage-set railroad car that never went anywhere. It was one of NYC's most iconic restaurants until it was closed in 2016

This is so cool! Makes me want to go to London. Haven’t been for years but have been there 10 times or so. Have been following you for a while now. Love your work. Have been driving underground trains in Stockholm in the 90s

You two have amazing chemistry. You should do more stuff together.

Had many memories of riding the 67 stock as a kid in the 90's from Brixton into Central London, really nice trains

Went there tonight for my birthday, was even in the same seat as you by chance, amazing experience, thank you for the tip!!! Incredible food (different menu every few months).

I grew up on this train and even had the chance to go into the drivers cabin one day aged 5. I miss them so much

Loved this stock. Took it from Walthamstow to Pimlico every weekday from 2003-2011.

Geoff, I really apreciate the time you took to edit this video in a fun and creative way. It could have been quite dull, but you jazzed it up with some nice footage, cuts and music

"This service is now being diverted to Catford"

What a creative way to reuse decommissioned tube trains. If any other old tube trains aren’t slated for preservation, just send them here. It’ll be phenomenal to dine in them.

It's also awesome that they kept the seats

Interesting to see that on a old victora tube carriage strange but amazing.

"Are you taking pictures of toilets ?" Look who's asking ...

Geoff says Luke would be weird to take pictures of toilets! Geoff, have you forgotten your trip to the gents toilets Wemyss Bay Station during All the Stations?

I heard "candle lit dinner" and immediately thought of Hyacinth Bucket 🤣

That was great fun. Thanks guys for a great video. My mouth didn't stop watering!

Well now I know where I'm dining for my birthday. Cannot wait!

That is a heaps interesting concept for a restaurant. Where you can dine in one of the old tube sets. And that cat is cute.

There's a 67 stock at the LT museum DEPOT... if you want to see it

Geoff, check out nico omilana's channel. He also did a restaurant on a refurbished jubilee line train which was in service!. He would be very proud that there is one more restaurant one the tube - especially on a 1966/1967 stock!. When this will be uploaded, nico is definitely going to give a round of applause 👋

Another brilliant video! I really enjoyed this :)

LT oops TfL take note and put buffet cars on the underground trains or at least vending machines. Seeing the pussy reminds me of when I used to use the Bakerloo line from Waterloo to the Elephant to go to college and every morning a ginger cat used to board a train at Waterloo and alight at the Elephant, same time every day. It was known to all the station staff and the train guards. I assume it did a return trip in the afternoon. Do cats have to pay? Or did it have a Paws!

If only you could do this in real life! Imagine the surprise of commuters as you pulled into Euston in the peak!

Love the sub-title at 6:02 where sous chef appeared as sushi!

That is a good puddle shot

Can we have Gordon Ramsey visit this? 😂

OMG that kitty is adorable. 😻

The other carriage was withdrawn in 1993 due to a damaged cab. Second carriage is made up of parts from 2 different carriages

Please don't eat on the train. Geoff: hold my beer

That is awesome I never seen that before!

A PA system should be put into the carriage so the chef can apologise for the delay in the diners getting their food. right

Dinner in the diner, nothing could Be finer, than to have your ham and eggs in The London tube !

I can actually think of a few others like this, eating on retired rapid transit rolling stock (aside from the countless mainline train cars that are used as restaurants) Up until I want to say about 2012, there was a restaurant, Golden's Deli, on Staten Island, with a New York City Subway car, Class R6 #978, inside you could sit in and eat. This might be where the set designers of "Wizards of Waverly Place" got the idea. The place closed and the owners sold the car off, but there is one more I can think of that I know is still open. In Wallingford Connecticut, is Trackside Pizzeria, which inside a retired Philadelphia Broad Street Subway car.

Have you thought about the Curry Train from Newcastle to Hexham.

I can’t believe this is #45 on trending as well!

You should have mentioned that the seats are so much more soft and comfortable than the ROCK HARD excuses that are the seats on the new Victoria Line trains.

“Oh there’s a train” jizzes pants.

Other places to eat on the underground... Chutney Bridge Brockley West Ham Victoria Sponge Cake Mornington Croissant

That all looked delicious, and such a unique dining experience

Would be cool if you run these dinning cars around the tube system

Geoff saved room for dessert. ;-)

Dunno about this one. Eating in a tube train is like eating in a toilet 😄

The un-modernised carriage brought back memories! As a small boy we used to travel from Walthamstow Central to Seven Sisters to visit my Nan every Thursday, when the trains were new!! She lived just opposite where the Seven Sisters tube station was built!

My sister ahaha

Booked a table for next Saturday! Thanks for giving it a plug Geoff, it looks awesome!

I absolutely love food, and absolutely love old trains! This is a 10/10 out of me!

The unpainted carriage, was that the identical cousin 1972mk1 ex Northern line stock

If I book, is the presence of the cat guaranteed? :-D

How many 1967 stock carriages were turned into a restaurant?

With the bathroom pictures, Luke will be the Loo Mapper

did you get a qualification in eating dinner? you got 3 courses

There should be a real restaurant tube train where you can have a nice dinner while riding through the city. A converted Metropolitain-Line train that picks you up in the city, takes you all the way out to Amersham, returns to the center going the full circle and ending perhaps in Richmond while a menu with 4 courses is served. This would be a great dining experience

Will be going on the 12th of December with my friend booked a while back and can’t wait!

Geoff! What a great idea this is. And it's great that you and your friend went for it - life goes on, even with Covid! I love the comments about the carriage. I was in London when the Victoria Line opened and travelled on it several times within the first couple of weeks of its opening. It was the height of modernity! I love your friend's hair and socks! You gave me a lift! Even from London to Camborne in Cornwall. Thanks!

Too bad it isn't driving.... In multiple cities (like The Hague and Rotterdam) you have driving tram restaurants.... Former passanger trams that have been converted to driving restaurants, which drive around the city while you enjoy dinner (example: www.hoftrammm.nl/en). When I saw the title of this video, I was hoping this was the case here too. Sure; not much too see in the tunnels, but still fun to pass through the underground stations non-stop while enjoying the food & company.

Not going to lie here, I first thought that it would be moving on the tracks.

Looks scrumptious, wish they could do it on metropolitan line uxbridge end maybe the siding at ruislip

Mind the puddle, fish and chips and a bottle of brown ale perfect night out on the tube

Have you ever been on the I think its Northern line tube train on Darren Brown's ghost train at Thorpe Park.

Can I ask what is the me of the music, it's got some smashing Rythem

If it catches on perhaps a couple of Pullman cars on the Metropolitan and preprandial drinks at a bar in Baker Street?

Love the concept of restaurants using retired rolling stocks for it's dining rooms as it gives a unique experience and ambiance for the customers.

00:06 just taking a moment to acknowledge that there is a person illegally riding an electric scooter on the road and then just skips a red light

I was watching Chris Horner talking about the future of F1 but guess who got my click instead.

Tiggy, the tube train restaurant moquat...

I can't believe I've met Geoff at London Transport Museum today (15/10/2020)

THERES MY SISTER IN THE PHOTO

Never seen 1967 stocks, they retired when I was a Toddler then

Fun fact: the Victoria line (and Waterloo and city line) are the only lines to not have open air stations

The technical term for the low angle puddle shot is a 'Puddoir de la Reflectoir'.

I saw on Twitter it's very gorgeous 😍😍

Haha 1967 stock go eeeeee

These trains don’t look different to the current ones?

they should do a rail tour kind of thing where they get 67 stock and run it up and down the line and serve food on board

Bruh I Thought Eating In The Tube Was Banned XD

Down in Melbourne, Australia there's three older electric train carriages (Hitachi) that's on the roof of a 3 story building, there's a resteraunt in one of them called Easeys

Mind the Cat! Mind the Cat! This was a nice fun video. Back in 2010 when I first visited to London back in February 2010, the first ever Underground Train was a 1967 Tube Stock I travelled on but also think I did see my first 2009 Tube Stock back in November 2010

London Transport certainly has better food than British Rail lol

That was a really great clip. What lovely people and what a smashing guy Luke is. Thanks for that.

So, twee versions of food from Central and South America.

the 2009 stock entered service on 21st july 2009

Oh nice I remember when these were retired in 2011! Great video !

Samd idea as mk1 carriage restaurant at sidings hotel near york.

Lovely tube train. The food looked pretentious.

That's just brilliant..!

The London underground Victoria line is not a restaurant in the tube train

Fun (!!)

Next time I'm in London....

The cat made this video complete for me.

Music when food was shown sounds like sex noises just saying

i preferred the old stock to the 1967 modern stuff

Yum Yum...
