How to drive a Metropolitan Line train | City Secrets | Time Out 

Homa They filmed for a very long time, but they didn’t even use half of what they filmed! :( I explained a whole lot more than what was shown!

The thumbnail was a deep level train but I believe the met line is sub surface.

@@version3point1 I wish you will make video about sstock.

TheFlyingCoconut yeah!

got me a bit confused because im really starting to like the northern line now

instablaster...

tell her she's cute

Mahfuz Alam yep.

She no longer drives on the Metropolitan Line.

Bob Cratchet I know. She was doing Central line!

How often do drivers switch lines?

Its a S stock train that runs on Metropolitan, Circle, District and H&C

Matthew Vargas it's a 1995 because it's at old Street

Matthew Vargas it says it on the platform sign... Plus above the sign it has a black stripe to show it's the Northern Line.

Trek001 ikr

HezyTech How could Ann show us how to drive during service. If not in service but test track ok I see what u mean but I wasted he energy and gadget battery on typing this

Samuel They filmed a lot more that what is shown here! Over half of what they filmed here they don’t appear to have used! I answered a lot of questions and explained quite a lot of things that what made this final video. :(

U does push the dead mans handle forward to go an pull it back to stop

HezyTek for security reasons, they can’t show actually how to drive the train.

Then go learn how to operate it yourself if this was a waste of time

It's true tho

I'll admit, I have no idea what you do in your job. But train drivers can sometimes be incredibly stressful if there are multiple failures.

What they failed to mention here is that at the time of filming, I was also a driver instructor, and not everybody that undertakes the training actually passes. Training people is a headache. They filmed a lot more that what is shown here! Over half of what they filmed here they don’t appear to have used! I answered a lot of questions and explained quite a lot of things that what made this final video.

Are Instructors restricted to Training to one line or can You train on all the lines ? @@version3point1

Alfred H You can only instruct on the lines that you are qualified on. Most Instructor Operators (IOs) are assigned to one Depot and are qualified on one line. You wouldn’t have a Metropolitan Line IO training somebody on the Central Line for instance. The only people who drive trains on multi-lines are those that drive our engineering trains that work mostly at night or on weekends. They are the highest paid train operators which reflects their training and knowledge of the system.

Shithole america still having conductors in the 21st century.

version3point1 I’d like to see the uncut version of everything you explained!

@@version3point1 what a shame!

It won't.

It already is in some places. Check Dubai Metro. It is fully autonomous.

Not going to happen in London. The most we've heard about with full-automation is that the new Bakerloo/Piccadilly/Central/Waterloo & City line trains will be capable of fully-automatic operation, but will be built with a cab and even with the new signalling to be introduced on those lines, they still won't be capable of it

They won't have a choice if they don't need any drivers!

A very VERY VERY VERY long time

Craft or Mine Trains and if you fail your on the waiting list for a long time

Even further from 38 stock that was the standard we were taught for the train equipment course, and they will never know the satisfaction the day you master a Westinghouse stop unprompted by a trainer 😁

@@warweezil2802 ahh yes westinghouse brakes, always call them "damn leaks" well westinghouse are fucking hard to master

@@yukito8148 I used to practice my westys on Sunday turns when we had a little more slack in the running times. Funnily enough never had a Westinghouse or train line fault, but I did have an EP blow up on me going south @ Hampstead 😳, that was a fun moment to make my day interesting 🤣😂

@@warweezil2802 i mean its a miracle anyways if a westinghouse doesnt have a single fault on a journey

@@yukito8148 maintainence must have gone right downhill since I left, but then 72s were never that good, always preferred the 59s (and the 38s when they came back)

So common in NY we have the worst reliability of the subway networks in the world

THE gingerninja northern line. Ask if ya wanna see how

THE gingerninja I

_-Delaware Scrap-_ Ummm.. thanks. ^_^

No. Because it’s a manually driven line? I was driving the entire time. As an driver instructor, I am used to having people (trainees) in the cab and having to explain things to them as I drive along. So this wasn’t any different besides the cameras. They filmed a lot more that what is shown here! Over half of what they filmed here they don’t appear to have used! I answered a lot of questions and explained quite a lot of things that what made this final video.

version3point1 I believe, all SSL lines are going ATO soon ?

More stations is meaningless if all have infrequent and unreliable service.

Funny lol so the subway network with the world's worst on time performance is better? What drugs are you on?

Lol, good joke. You may have "more stations", but NYC's subway system is literally falling apart. London's bus operators are also frequently upgrading and renewing their bus fleet. Since 2009, five of London's underground lines have received brand-new rolling stock, whilst you have to wait until 2020 to receive any new trains. The underground also serves the neighbouring counties (The admistrative equivalent to a US state) of Essex, Hertfordshire, and Buckinghamshire, not just Greater London itself. #MTASucks #LondonUndergroundIsBetter #DontBeAMoron

@@86501freightliner They're either equivalent to a county or a state dependent on size

@@joesos Administratively, they function more similarly to a state.

You what?

Not a place for some men either. What they failed to mention in the video was that I was a driver instructor. In terms of success rates and my trainees, of those that have failed the final “road test” (driving test): They have been men.

nobody cares. it just ur opnion!

Nyc Subway Kiddd Yeah, dirty tramps on trains begging and filty stations is totally better then a clean system

u kidding, now way. we got new stock on most lines and our tube lines are now getting better with Xrail

Nyc Subway Kiddd funniest thing I heard for a while.

Nyc Subway Kiddd it's not LONDON UDNERGROUND JUBILEE LINE IS THE BEST
