We showed this to my 2.5yo son last month, because with Covid, we can’t get back to the U.K. to see family. He loves this video, asks for it almost daily now, and it’s been lovely to show him something of London that’s right up his street.
@@voxley19 I’m Hunter Joyner from Nashville and later on me and my twin brother Zach will get the money to go to London it will give my time to spend time in London and spend time with my favorite city in the U.K and Europe and London and England both mean a lot to me I can’t wait to travel from Nashville to London it’s gonna be a blast
I absolutely love the colour scheme of the tube trains and believe they make them gorgeous. I can't believe they went a different route for the crossrail trains.
@@CrazyInWeston Yes, it is. They called it the Elizabeth line and put it on the tube map. It also uses London Underground's iconic roundel logo at each station.
@@christopherkotsopoulos701 The roundel is Purple. Bit like Londons DLR using torquise and the Tram using Green. Crossrail is a separate entity not part of TfL or the London Underground.
Actually, it's owned and will be operated by TFL. Presumably a fare that is paid for any of the LU lines will get you onto the Elizabeth line for free within the appropriate zone. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossrail#Name_and_identity

@@C.O-EDITSyeah especially I saw a MONSTER RAT one day on the tracks. It was disgusting, but the Victoria line somehow didn’t kill it. IT LITERALLY WENT RIGHT UNDER THE TRAIN BRUH
Thank you very much for this excellent introduction to all LUL lines, infrastructure and rolling stock differences that i now could understand even better than on my short first visit to the capital of UK days ago relying on Victoria line to travel between Euston train station and the boroughs of Westminster and Lambeth.
Karel Odhradil.....you can’t blame people these days. We live in scary and fearful times. She was acting instinctively. Yes it’s very sad but we humans have betrayed each others trust to the point where we try to protect ourselves at all costs
Finsbury Park station has been improved - and the 1973 Piccadilly stock soldiers on despite current "wheel repair" problem, the second such episode in 18 months!
It's really confusing because in NYC and Glasgow it's a subway and in Newcastle, Paris, (insert more here) it's a metro. But in london it's a tube or underground
@@ZLDSmogless if u would know then the Newcastle subway is in England but does not fall under the TFL branding and is its own. In London its called the tube and/or underground because 1. it is an underground rapid transit service (mostly) and it was named that in 1864 so it would not've been called a subway and its called tube because of the shape of the tunnels.
Many NYC subway stations are so dirty. However NYC subway operates 24/7, charges $1 for a metro card, and charges $2.75 to go anywhere on the subway. London Underground runs about 5am-midnight Sunday-Thursday & some lines runs 24 hours on Friday & Saturday. It charges £5 for a Oyster Card and charges about £3.30 - £5.10 depending on how far you travel. Maybe that explains why the Undergeound is clean, they arent always open, and they pay for it!
Let me give u some tips when u arrive into London DONT call it subway coz London people will think ur talking about the shop subway call it underground train instead
In a sense yes, most lines are deep level but thr Circle, District, Hammersmith and City and Metropolitan lines are subsurface i.e. just below street level. Thanks for watching.
Sort of! The original line was cut and cover like most of New York, which eventually allowed for larger stock. Many reasons lead to the later system of deep level (up to 200 feet below street) tubes that followed, which are smaller diameter. The system is totally integrated meaning seamless travel for passengers across the network ect but tubes are distinctly different to sub surface stock and obviously sub surface stock cant fit deep level tube track while the reverse isnt true and tubes can roll anywhere if required on the system (now watch some tube buff correct me!)
0:21 bakerloo line to elephant & castle 1 1:16 bakerloo line to elephant & castle 2 2:25 central line to Loughton 3:30 central line to Hainault via Newbury Park Next chapters in the other comment
You know that things can get broken? Even your car that don't drive the whole day will have that problem? Besides that, the M5-serie in Amsterdam... since day one a lot of technical problems on that train so it doesn't matter how long they're in service.
In terms of noise: Bakerloo line: 5/10 Central line: 9/10 (Love the noise for this one.) Circle line: 7/10 District line: 8/10 (Love the doors for this one.) H&C line: 7/10 Jublee line: ITS OVER 9000! Metropolitan line: 8/10 Northern line: 9/10 (I love noise.) Piccadily line: 5/10 (olnly saved by the train design) Victoria line: ITS OVER ÷*÷(#(×,$(# W&C line: 7/10 (it only has 2 stations, so pushed it by 2.) Best line: Victoria line Worst line: None!
