Every 90 seconds 

this train system gives them a reason to wait. otherwise there'd be plenty reason.

You lot are clearly not from London even thought the next train is literally 2 mins after. It can make you at least 5 mins late if You miss a particular train especially if you’re trying to catch another train after. People who run for the train are mostly likely regular commuters like me and know this too. It’s sounds weird but it’s true

you can afford to arrive 5 mins early, think about much of a waste that would be if it were 50.

Hondasi Gamer I did live in London for about 9 years and it was worth the wait for some lines... maybe not others though.

Thats what i do. Love the tube wish it wasnt so expensive though

it's even better when you hear it in person

Yeah the sound is pretty cool. It's tbr same sound though they the Circle, District, Hammersmith & City and Metropolitan line. S stock trains make but slightly altered

Jubilee Line sounds better 👌

You should hear the desiro type train Running in Belgium under the Company nmbs

@@damiagunbiade what time did it happend?

the ATO (automatic train operator system) is using variable blocks not fixed blocks, unlike the central line, so they can compact the gap further. The trains are basically talking to each other and making assumptions about where to stop and when to go as there are no signal section blocks anymore.

@Team Epiphany Tyler Yeh it either is CTBC or a modification that is basically like CBTC.

Nowadays they run trains at less than a minute apart

During rush hour trains are short turned so they can put a higher volume of trains through the busier stations.

Unfortunately that's only London

In Madrid they use ATO as well, but the train can't enter the tunnel (signal is red) until the preceeding train leaves the next station, so that's why it has a minimum wait of 2m in peak hour.

Adventure Guy With the crazy people running to the tracks. I dont know how this will turn out.

NY subway has a chronic lack of investment because Americans don't like paying for socialist infrastructure.

stacey_p lmao false if u lived here then u would know the gov cut funding. The mta spends too much and on the wrong shit. Im so glad we got Andy Byford. He knows how this shit works.

New York City's new CBTC signaling systems allow for 30tph (every 2 minutes) and there is more capacity per train than London, so it really should be about the same.

Collin Parsons Not all lines have CBTC yet

No, there are fumes within the tunnels that are unsafe for passengers and so they are using PEDs to block it out.

On the district from Wimbledon it's every 5 mins but in the core section it is like every 3 minutes

But the themes link should be linked with the tube as it does go mostly in London as its another way but the complaint is that it is every 30 mins down the Sutton loop

Same goes for most public transport in Austria, especially in Vienna (even though a yearly ticket only costs 365€ and most lines including buses and trams still come every 10 minutes).

Dan Abbott like in every other major city, people keep complaining about their subway!

Pity only London is seen as important enough to have a decent transport system 😑

+Tom Jardine Lol, this makes me proud to be a brit!

Sydney trains always delayed

Japan Railways would like to have a word in this.

you would prefer it in person it's slightly deeper and the camera donst capture the whole sound

Just not the heat of the central line

Inky Scrolls oof that is bad, I’m a southerner (not London though) and my trains are 1 tph for high speed and 1 tph for mainline services into and out of London, it takes about 1.5 hours into London

@@tobeytransport2802 I live in Upper Austria and have 1 tph to get into the capital on a stopper. At peak times the stoppers come every 30 minutes + a few express trains which reduces the interval to 4 tph for an hour. My train is delayed most of the time because the route is mostly single-track, but it was only cancelled once in 3 years.

On my line which is used to connect Birmingham and Wolverhampton with little towns i get around 2 trains per hour

6 intercity tph between Arnhem-Amsterdam, Eindhoven-Amsterdam all via Utrecht CS in the Netherlands also a 6tph Dordrecht-Rotterdam commuter service

In 7 minutes 30 seconds five victoria line trains would arrive

The only other system that has this sort of clockwork cycle feel to it is the VAL system in Lille.

Beno Lifts VAL ????

Véhicule Automatique Léger, which I'm sure means automatic light vehicle

YoshLee yes, it has been created by siemens

Nice video bebo about every 90 seconds on the Victoria line 🤩😍🤩😍🤩😍🤩

If I remember correctly the lines with the newer trains (the ones in the 4 LM program and the Northern lines) are mostly automated in their run. The driver is more and more a supervisor rather then a conductor...

tmkoeln I see. It like the L train in New York

tmkoeln so Victoria, Central, Jubilee, Northern and DLR. District, Metropolitan, Circle and Hammersmith and City have the new S-Stock but not automated yet. There has been test runs in the Hammersmith area. Coming soon.

TransitFanKid except with extremely high and efficient frequency!!!

Exactly. Problem that the L has - there's not enough "power" to run as many trains as this. Needs upgrading - luckily Andy Byford is on it!

TheTNTPickaxe agreed, MTR is upgrade its signaling without line closure only two hours every night to do the upgrade and maintenance work on the track.

TheTNTPickaxe that happens in singapore also

Brazil too, users are big responsible for subway efficiency.

Our trains are one by one to the station 😂 We usually call it railway Traffic Jam 😂

2 Minutes is still good even for an Subway

very important job though, make sure no one gets injured in the doors

I've never been to a theme park where I could call boarding "efficient".

They are all being converted to self driving carriages

Most good roller coaster operators can manage around 100s on avarage. On good days they can do under 80s. Some parks are better about it than others, and I don't know what operations are like in the UK, but in the US they are very efficient (for the most part). However, roller coasters have a massive advantage in that all of the passengers know exactly how many seats there are, and will space themselves accordingly. Subways get a constant flow of passengers, and thus operate a bit less efficiently. On the other hand, sometimes roller coasters need to wait for the last train to clear the lift before the next train than be dispatched, slowing them down. Besides, roller coasters seat way less people than a subway. Your avarage thrill-scale roller coaster seats about 20-30 people, and avarages about 1000+ riders/hour. Your avarage subway can fit about that many people per car, probably more, and at these speeds will get soming more like 6,000+ passengers/hour, which is just insane. All in all, yeah, this is crazy efficient for a subway.

And press the start buttons (Starts the train), It is mandated drivers be present because London Underground has a problem of people throwing themselves in front of the trains.

YEP! That's true. Though, the people up there are much friendlier than down South, so the waiting isn't all that unpleasant. For me, anyway.

Paul Metzger Tyne and Wear metro is a joke, on some parts of the system trains can take as long as 15-20 minutes between trains!

Elevating Denver Manual trains work well in Japan, with trains on time by seconds.

If you're not from toronto...

Mainline underground trains are manually driven, so what's your point?

Wow that’s worse than Vancouver!

Wait but the London trains are manually driven...

Not only in the US.... It is even worse in cities where they decided to put trams or light rail in subway tunnels (like Cologne, Germany). The typical for the local system is ~10 mins on a weekday without peak travel backups. Having been to London only just over one week last year opened my eyes...

Vee Well dubai and london has some Great metro maybe one day It can be Like this

cough cough NEW cough YORK cough cough what was that

To be honest so do some German ones. The only disadvantage I see though is that the doors open at full stop and not >3mph, ready to detrain the passengers at full stop.

New York City has installed CBTC signals on two lines and is working to install it on a third. Their system allows for 30tph which is every two minutes. The trains themselves in NYC are larger and have more capacity than in London, so the capacity should be about the same.

Oldest signals on the network

yup

Moscow Metropolitan's trains are even more frequent during rush hours. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gVaXLhvF3J4.html

Die U-Bahnen in Berlin fahren tagsüber alle 5 Minuten. Worüber beschwerst du dich?

The computer system that runs these trains is made by Siemens, well done Germany and well down Underground

At Victoria, if there is a train in the platform I continue walking down to the far end of the platform where it is quiet and the time I get there the next train has already come.

The only cities that i know off that needed such a frequenzy are nyc, moscow and some asian cities

i think the london underground doesnt make a profit anyway

Budapest metro is so amazing, clean and efficient! I envy you

The most frequent service on any line in the world is 90 seconds, from one line on the Moscow metro (40 trains an hour). Currently no system runs trains every 80 seconds.

The S Stock trains all have double doorways.

@@pwhnckexstflajizdryvombqug9042 I bet you can prove it. Let's see.

Gabor Szabados: systems used to run trains more frequent then 90 seconds back in the day but no system does anymore. If they do it's because they have 2 car trains or something that bends the rules.

London in the 90s was a terrible system with little investment. After a huge investment programme in signalling and trains did we get anything like this. So I'm sure if NYC can invest in the future it will be like this also. It's just going to get worse before it gets better.

Brandon Wongton 5-7 ? You haven’t seen the irt lines of Brooklyn in am rush the 2,3,4,5 comes back to Back

Bakerloo line trains are from 1972 and they come every 3 minutes.

It is kinda a myth, sometimes, trains stop in a tunnel at journey between 2 stations.

Иван Лещев Every time I’m in the rush hour in Moscow, this is the frequency I experience.

I also experience very small frequency at Line 1.

Both statements are true, but stopping in the tunnel 2-3 times in the journey makes the time longer

@@vagankovo_ivan I travel every day at peaktime on Lines 6, 12 (L1), and 9. There are trains every 60-70 seconds at Lines 6 and 9 (they are one of the most busiest, after Line 7), but Line 12 stations see a train every 2 minutes or so. Must be something to do with the fact that mor than a half of the line is overground...

YUP people are terrible

I got a film premiere to attend! 90 seconds 90 schmeconds! lol

90 seconds is a minute and a half

uhhmmmm you ok?

only in africa

It isn't the oldest. It was built in 1967. The oldest ones usually have tight bends in the tunnels as they did not think future trains would go fast.

Beno Lifts That's true - but I think Harry meant the whole of London Underground, rather than just then Victoria Line. The London Underground is the oldest metro system in the world.

I swear it was built in 1863

@@mrerichoodc6835 yes but the Victoria line was built in 1967

Yes, its rush hour timetable. I forget exactly which, it MIGHT be Elephant and castle on the Bakerloo, but there is a X junction leading in to the station, trains come in and depending on which platform is empty will either drive straight in, or go X over to the other platform. Both platforms are always full, when one leaves, the next is waiting in the approaching tunnel. 4 Minute timetable, non peak times.

This line runs 24 hours at the weekend. Every 10 mins..

My country's trains avoid the drift by programming the doors to stay open for a fixed duration per station & then auto-close without anyone checking if any one is in the way, though warning sounds & lights will go off 5s in advance

The Victoria is especially frequent. Most lines are every 2 to 4 minutes in the centre (sometimes you get unlucky and there's a 5 or 6 minute gap) but often less in the outskirts

raptureboi Seriously 10 fucking minutes! Jeez Montreal is way ahead of Toronto in terms of rush hour frequency which are actually between 2 to 3 minutes between each trains and during the night until 10 PM the frequency is at every 5 minutes!

Yeah this line is running on full ATO

raptureboi yes this is an ATO line. It's the Victoria Line. London Underground 2009 Stock Deep level Tube. It is the newest Deep level tube train on the whole Network. It runs from Brixton to Walthamstow Central. I know it because I catch this train like everyday.

No, rush hour for Toronto TTC comes every 2-3 mins. The problem is that there's too many passengers on the platform waiting to board an already full train from previous stations. This leads to delays of up to 10 mins, especially if the doors get jammed. It would be less of a problem if people were a bit more patient and wait for the next train in 2 mins rather than trying to squeeze in an already packed train.

The northern, Victoria (this one), jubilee, Central, District (coming soon), circle (coming soon), metropolitan (coming soon) and the Hammersmith and City line which is also coming soon

True but in london the DLR has driverless trains too
