a cab ride over the Jubilee line from Stratford all the way to Wembley Park. we ride on parts of the newest Underground system with modern doors and modern trains. sit back and relax and enjoy a cab ride on the 1996 stock.
TheLondonBusMaster 345 gone on his hols oh I feel so lucky to of been able to all I have so far. Central line, Bakerloo line, Hammersmith & City line, Piccadilly line and now Jubilee line feels so lucky. I'm now waiting to hear back about my next one the Northern line. Piccadilly Line was the only one that I had filmed I got asked not to put online anyway. Glad I got my own copy though!
I didn’t realize the Jubilee Line had also gone the way of automated operation. When I used to work on there it was still the manual “dead man’s handle” system.
Great Video ... A shame the new style station safety doors change the experience though as a rider and rail buff. It ain't the same on the Tube now. I miss the 1980's!
At 24:16 if you look at the right. There’s a track lead you down to Charing Cross in the Jubilee line it used to terminate there but not anymore because of the extension to Westminster to Stratford
the openbve 96 stock has limited braking abilities so from a high speed down to 0 to stop correctly on the mark would be impossible, I personally approach a station at 35 mph and immediately go to B3 then at the end apply less brakes if needed
In the underground when I’m always in jubilee it always go very fast I think the train was on the fast track who afrees London tell me why the jumble goes fast on under ground
Shayan Latif that's a fab question really like that one. By far it has to be the Central Line j grew up on that line. Lived on it from years and grew up on it. I love the trains and the 1992 stock their just very special. It would link me up with trips into town and trips down my one of my grandmas local stations then for the other take me to Liverpool Street. I just love it and the whole look smell and sound. I think Stations like Bank are quite amazing too with the curves. What's your favourite anyway
I grew up on the Piccadilly Line and the only thing I'm worried about is the Maximum Speed of the 1973 Stock Trains. I prefer the Circle, District, Hammersmith and City, Jubilee, Metropolitan and Victoria Lines because the Maximum Speed limit is up to 62 Miles Per Hour (apart from the Victoria line which is up to 50 Miles Per Hour). I don't have any relatives so I'm getting used to S7 and S8 Stock trains because they're the only ones have air-conditioning. 1992 Stock will be replaced by New Tube for London around 2030s. I always go on the Central Line between Perivale and Ruislip Gardens. The 1992 stock is alright with the Maximum Speed is up to 62MPH.
Shayan Latif a good choice of line their with the Piccadilly I do love that line too. I took a cab ride on it a couple of months back only a short one to the airport and back down. It was not over the main parts but I still loved the experience of being able to sit and be in such an old train. They may not be that fast but they are beautiful trains. I do love toe S7 & S8 trains also with the air con. They have huge cabs though and compared to older stock trains are quite basic but still great fun a smooth and easy ride for sure
I haven't been on the A, C and D Stocks that much. I've been on the A Stock on the Metropolitan Line from Rayners Lane to Uxbridge, C Stock on the Circle Line from Edgware Road to Hammersmith and D Stock on the District Line from Earl's Court to Fulham Broadway.
the C & D stock i have been on many times but i think the A stock to my saddest regrets never. i have seen the A stock trains but never needed to go that route. i now wish i had just taken the time to go on them once they where fab looking trains but i never did. the D stock i went on lots as a young child as it went from my local station of the time Mile End. i never went on the C stock much until towards the end of its time. i had started to go to college just off Edgware Road and would get the C stock into work it was a lovley and fab train. i loved the sounds of the doors and just everything. they fold old fashioned but i loved that. i would be sad at times when my train would come along and it was a S stock train but then it was also fab to experience the new. im glad i got to do that. just wish i had for once just got on the A stock even if i did not need to for that one ride.
Discovering the drivers' cabins being soundproofed when riding our 52-year-old metros at the end of their sevice last year both astonished and enchanted me: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-IGzWz7cQQOY.html .
Oo la..suicide pits between the running rails still _en vogue_ at screen door-equipped stops. The tube's cab views along inter-station tunnels is bemusingly the most boring of subways..oh well.
Sorry to tell you but the train was in the ATO (Automatic Train Operation) setting when this video was recorded, meaning that the driver did not drive the train at all and instead a computer controlled it. Not one driver can go into stations as fast as the ATO system can.
I'm sorry but this is really poor on the part of the driver. I know it's auto driven and in a tunnel but it's really unprofessional to be looking at a duty book and being distracted while the train is moving. I certainly hope this isn't happening in the non-PED sections. It's an advert for a "dumbing down of the role... no wonder they are looking at driverless, regardless of how ridiculous that idea is.
