Piccadilly Line Northfields to Earls Court Via Terminal 4 Loop. London Underground 

I've been training my dog to play the trumpet on the Underground. He went from Barking to Tooting in a couple of days!

I'm not surprised Dave, er, Dale didn't tell us how to operate the ejector seat, the hidden machine guns or the smoke screen. They're strictly for emergencies only and his life might depend on them one day.

Here's a dad-joke for you: "What's The Incredible Hulk's favourite London Underground station? Turnham Green!" 🤣

Two of my favourite Dad jokes are: "My kids told me they weren't impressed with my flamingo impression. I just had to put my foot down!" and "Have you heard about the restaurant on the moon? They say the food is great, but there's no atmosphere."

Really enjoyed watching your whole videos today on the Piccadilly line, will definitely be watching more of your London Underground RU-vid videos.😊👍

2 eggs in a pan of boiling water, one said to the other it’s very hot in here, the other one said wait until you get out as they will smash your head in, fantastic as always video- cheers Mike

Here's a "Dad" joke for you ...... The other day I went to the doctor and said "Doctor! I've got terrible problems with my memory. I can't remember anything from one minute to the next!!" He said "Oh dear. How long has that been going on?" I asked him "How long has what been going on?"

Great videos. I normally stay at Heathrow T4 when i travel from Australia and always use the Piccadilly line to get to Central London. Love how they run express Acton Town to Hammersmith past the larger District line trains.

"Hello driver, are you going to Turnham Green?" "No, Madam, we are going to paint them all red.."

This is my Saturday night sorted!

Hi Dale, thanks for your videos. It is a rare insite in cablife in the tube, greetings, John from the Netherlands

And I thought TV was rubbish on a Saturday evening……… Brilliant, thank you Dale for another great video, so many interesting moves and questions ticked off on how a few bits of the underground work. Thanks also obviously for London Underground allowing them to be published. These and the older videos on how the Bakerloo line moves operate from yrs ago are brilliant to explain how it all works. Look forward to the next one!

I was visiting a bar in Rome last week. I went to the bartender there, held up two fingers and said “Five drinks please.”

Love the way this channel is progressing with the confident commentary & banter. Also follow closely Dale's airline travels and particularly the business class cabin reviews.

Two birds were standing on a perch. One said to the other, "Can you smell fish?"

Back in the 1960s, I used to travel on the Piccadilly to Finsbury Park from Hounslow East to visit my grandmother. Therefore it's a grand bit of nostalgia, and in those days I believe the line terminated at Hounslow West!

Every time I see the Hammersmith Broadway Shopping Centre above Hammersmith Station, I always think of the opening times of Bottom, a highlight of when I visited London in October 2023 was when I rode the Piccadilly Line to visit the Rik Mayall bench. Spent most the day riding on various lines as I was staying at The Fox and Goose Hotel near Hanger Lane Station.

The WW3 signal at Hatton Cross is an ominous one!!

Hi Dale just found u very interesting, very lovely to meet u

Hi Dale - a bag of crisps goes into a pub and orders a pint of lager. The barman replies: “sorry, we don’t serve food!”.

That flat tyre is knocking well , thanks for the cab tour , you shouldn't apologise for leaving things out to protect the trains , there are many numpties out there . Cheers 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Dad joke for you. I invested money in a specialist nursery that grows Box, Hawthorn, Cherry Laurel and Golden Privet. It was a "Hedge Fund" 😉. PS: As for the commentary, it is what it is and we'll take it. 👌👍.

Tasha has had a shower and has wrapped herself in a bath towel when she hears a knock at the front door. She answers it and can see it’s her neighbour Bob. Bob says “I’ll give you £800 to drop the towel!”. Without hesitation Tasha drops the towel and stands there naked. Bob gives her the £800 and leaves. After a few moments Tasha’s husband calls down from upstairs “Who was that?”. She replies that it was Bob, the neighbour. The husband calls down again “Did he say anything about the £800 he owes me?”.

Thank for the cab tour. The Piccadilly Line is my local line. Your videos are great and if I do see you on my travels I'll make sure to say hi to you

Hounslow! "Bend It Like Beckham"!! 😀⚽

Came to Denmark. I am a locomotive driver for Danish state railways, and drive fast and intercity trains. Thanks for some great informative videos. I enjoy following

Dale, an old classic for you, what do you call an underground train full of professors…… A tube of smarties. I’ll get my coat 🥼

Good to catch this channel, Dale. Great to see the world from different perspectives. As did the termite who walked into a pub and asked, "is the bartender here."

Before moving to Florida in 2017, I used to be a public transport bus driver in Toronto. Towards the end of my career, I drove Alexander Dennis double decker buses on the 12-Niagara Falls. One of my colleagues, who was from England and said he had to move to Canada to drive a double decker, regaled me with the story of the two Newfies (Paul and Sean) who went to London for their vacation. They were riding on a double decker bus, sitting on the lower deck right across from the stairway. They were watching people go up and down the stairs as the bus travelled its route. Paul said to Sean, "Sean, where does that stairway go?" Sean said, "I have no idea. I'm going to go upstairs and find out." So Sean goes upstairs, disappearing from Paul's view for a moment or two. He comes back down and his face is pure white, his jaw down, his mouth agape. Paul says to Sean, "Sean? What's the matter? You look like you've seen a ghost!" Finally Sean composes himself and sits back down next to Paul. He says, "Paul, I went up there. You're not gonna believe it. There's another bus." Paul says, "Another bus? You're kidding." Sean says, "No, Paul. And it's worse. There's no driver."

Thanks Dale for the cab tour that was great it's just good to know when your explaining stuff to do with the driving what the controls look like so the none train drivers of us can relate to what your saying. You can here those flats really well on the sound. And the frame rate in the tunnels (pipes) I'm learning 😊 are way better. Many thanks Neil.

I just love the sound of the train coming to a stop.

My first tube experience was Terminal 4 to Russell Square back in the late 1990’s. I’ve been hooked ever since. Thanks for those videos. I’ve learned lots from them.

Thank you for the cab tour !!

Good driver top man as well

Remember the old days when there was no speed control from Barons Court to Earls Court. They used to charge into that tunnel and once, a load of dust exploded from one of the seats. Wasn’t uncommon to do 45 mph going down to Earls Court, which stank of brake dust!

Thanks Dale.. I'm listening as I drive. Scouser in Ohio currently, but have visited London plenty of times, to visit friends in Guildford, and it's always a mad dash, southbound on the Northern line. Just the sounds, of the underground brings back memories. Keep posting.. it's a lot more important than you imagine!!

I remember an interaction between a passenger and a member of staff. The passenger asked if this train stopped at a certain station - can't remember which one but it was the terminus and end of the rails. So the member of staff promptly responded with "I hope so, else we'll be in a bit of a mess."

I was hoping that you upload a new video today and you did. Thanks for the new video and the tour of the cabin. Some instruments are similar as other trains I know. I ❤️ this video

There was a dog that used to play an instrument on the underground.. he went from Barking to Tooting in 10 minutes!

"doctor doctor i fell like a pair of curtains" "well pull yourself together then!"

Oh Northfields, i used to live down the road from it as a kid way back in the early 80's

Karl and Milly were lying in bed one night. Carl was falling asleep but Milly was in a romantic mood and wanted to talk. She said, "You used to hold my hand when we were courting." Wearily Karl reached across, held her hand for a second, and rolled over to try to fall asleep. A few moments later she said, "Then you used to kiss me." Mildly irritated, he leaned across, gave her a peck on the cheek and settled back down to sleep. Thirty seconds later she said, "Then you used to bite my neck." Angrily, he threw back the bed clothes and got out of bed. "Where are you going?" she asked. "To the bathroom to get my teeth," he replied.😂😅

Always a pleasure to watch your videos Dale; please keep them coming, as they are highly informative and very relaxing to watch! 👍👍👍

Your POV videos bring back a lot of memories, when back in the days I used to travel to school 3 times a week using Picadilly Line. I think this line was the one I used the most over the years. I guess due to the fact that I lived close to Picadilly Line stations (Ealing, Brentford, Isleworth). I think I may have used Osterley station just once when lived at Isleworth. Otherwise I would take the bus to and from Ealing, where I would take the Picadilly Line. And very often I would come back (from Swiss Cottage) using Jubilee line, and then take any of the three available lines from Baker Street to Paddington station (Bakerloo line more rarely as it was further to walk to its platforms). And the best part was yet to come, taking a Network South-East train to Ealing Bdy. That was the shortest section of the whole journey, but the fastest and the most exciting due to the diesel engined loco :) - just could feel its power when it was accelerating. So instead of taking the shortest/fastest possible journey (Swiss Cottage - Green Park - Northfields) I took a more complicated one (with more interchanges, and a bus at the end, from Ealing Bdy. to Northfields or Brentford). Travelling by tube, trains gave me a lot of fun. Too bad I haven't explored the tube more, i.e. visited the more distant stations. But I travelled with all the lines that were at that time (back in the 90s, and very beginning of 2000s.

Really enjoying the videos, please keep up the good work.

Brilliant video.keep them coming love to watch dale

Thanks Dale for sharing your journey & information, especially on "the cab". You look fine, definitely "wearing well", the same, at times, couldn't be said for your train. Ready for retirement(the train, that is!). The stocks lasted well for 50 years! Also liked the "Barking joke". Take care, all the best. 😊 👍

It's been 17 years since I've been through Heathrow Airport and I was surprised to see how many "original" British Rail font signs were around still. I also recognised parts from visiting the airport thirty years before because it looked like they hadn't decorated since! 🙂

I really do want to be a train driver just figuring out how you know when to slow down and learn all the speed limits I really appreciate what u do for the communitys 😊

i look forward to more T4 loop videos. The long tunnel section always amazes me.

Dad Joke or Bad Joke - you guys decide...😂 I seen a magic tractor the other day; it went down the road and turned into a field.

Hey, the new Siemens Inspiro London will be build in Vienna Simmering, not in Germany. 112 trains are planned and we transfer them to the Austrian/German boarder station. I think 4 or 5 units must have been build yet. Greetings from Austria!

Another very enjoyable trip with an excellent commentary. Thank you.

Thank you once again for a great video. The Piccadilly is a superb line and a dam sight cheaper than the service from another certain train station and operator a bit slower but a most enjoyable journey to Heathrow. Will miss the 73 stock when they are finally retired.

Very old one, but did you hear about the magic tractor? It turned into a field.

This is so cool I love trains just saw this today I hail from Florida 🏝😀

Another excellent video Dave, sorry Dale. Keep them coming, thoroughly enjoyable.

The reason why the motor might be failing is because some drivers are putting it straight to parallel and it just pulls back.What your doing is good from series for a bit to parallel.

Is this the Barking train? Yes we're all mad on here.Great stuff Dale.

Looking forward to those travelling vlogs, @dale

The man who wrote the hokey cokey just died. The most traumatic part for his family was getting him in the coffin, they put his left leg in and then the trouble started.

Great video again Dale, thanks for sharing. Very professional mate. Those wheel flats or as we call them up North in Tyne and wear metro area "square wheels" are really loud

Love your video's, I'm sat here with a cold beer enjoying this one, please keep them coming especially any rusty rail video's

Dale, great informative video as ever! As a matter of interest, the road names at Heathrow give an indication of their position, compass-wise, on the airfield. Additionally they also have an aviation connection, although there are exceptions. Sanctuary Road Evacuation Shaft would indicate that it is on the Southern side although it's one of those aviation exceptions as far as I am aware. Wessex Road Shaft would show that it's on the Western side and is a helicopter type. There are many other examples that do fit the criteria of orientation and aviation. Just a little bit of trivia.

4:41 I think it was Osterly Park & Spring Grove but how sure of that I'm not sure. Geoff Marshall said it was that in secrets of the picc but called it Osterly & Spring Grove in abandoned stations videos

Hope the motor got sorted and the flat wheel done as well and definitely looking forward to the new trains on the Piccadilly line. Shame Bakerloo doesn’t get some new trains as they are a the near the same age but definitely will be sad to see the older trains go out of service. As they definitely have a Cham to them.

I picked up a brake van last week. My back's killing me.

Hello Dale, the signals in the dark are much more obvious with the new frame rate, even in the distance, and there is slightly more to see even with the weak train lights. There is never any shortage of interesting things to see and hear, thank you. I am also a powerchair user living with motor neurone disease and did not know about the level access from some station platforms onto trains, so thank you for that.

That squeak on the east bound after Hatton Cross would drive me nuts 🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫

16:34 "if you press this button all the wheels fall off"

The camera settings were a step in the right direction in the tunnels. Some areas with lighting like some of the switches came through much better. Thanks for making this content!

18:14 "ooh, thought I broke the train there" lol

A Tim Vine Joke I like is " A survey says Six out of Seven Dwarves ain't Happy." I like to then add "Other Dwarves are available."

Lovely shot for the thumbnail. Great job :)

Did you hear about the dog that learned to play the trumpet on the Tube? He went from Barking to Tooting in an hour! 😂😂

I had rail scraping on the RL - Acton in the winter before the Electricity at works act came in, years back. After they'd get battery loco to retrieve it.

hi dale keep up the great work you do your an inspiration for anyone to become a train operative. here's a dad joke : what do you call a man with a bag of leaves on his head..........(Russell)

Funny I'm starting to recognize the stations!

Hi Dale - did I tell you that I used to be a water polo champion? That was before I got expelled from the team for drowning all the horses. .

Goole - East Yorkshire Dale. Finest county of all!

When I first came to live in London and I ventured onto the tube, I was fascinated by all the instructional warnings posted in the stations. I figured there was fun to be had. So I went up to a member of staff at Kings cross and asked him if I could get a dog at the station. He looked at me like I'd gone mad, so I said or do I need to get one somewhere else? He said what are you talking about? I said, well there's a sign there that says "Dogs must be carried on the escalator", I don't have a dog, can I rent one somewhere so i get up the escalator? I won't tell you what he said, but I can say it was anatomically impossible. :)

Hi Dale, loving all your videos home & abroad. Cant think of any jokes at this moment in time. I have always been interested in London Underground and its trains. I live just across the road from the Victoria Line Depot. I no Southern region have problems in the winter with current pickup from their 3 rd rail system due to snow and ice. How does the 4th rail London Underground system fair with that problem? You was saying on one of your videos that your home town is Peterborough, i hear a Brummie accent from you. Anyway mate, keep up the good work. Regards Lee.

That train seems fast between Boston Manor and Osterley, seems a decent one

Hiding in the shade on a beach in Paphos with a cold beer, then I saw this new video... Perfect way to kill an hour. Thanks, dale.😎🍺

finsbury park spelt backwards is krapy rubsnif

Dick Turpin's FIRST Words when he reached York?..........."Whoooooaaaaa

huge fan of your videos, keep up the great work!! saludos desde argentina!

Enjoyed watching

Dale thanks for the video and cab tour

Once again an excellent video thank you Dale and along my favorite part of the line being my former local area of Hounslow

I traveled on the T4 loop the day trains started running the station wasn’t yet open at Hammersmith I asked the operator what was it like nice old boy he said a lot smoother but dusty due to the fact it was new and concrete lined myself I just finished work I was a young 18 year old postie who just went driving with them happy days. 😊😊here’s one why are the cabs on the new 2024 stock bigger, To make room for the drivers wallet 😂😂 Be safe dale Mark 😊😊 M

Dale I always get excited when you post another duty video. Love it as always. Here on vacation in Los Angeles visiting my family and still had to take time out and watch your latest. 🫶🏾

I could see much better in the tunnels on this video than some of the earlier vids

The new 2024 train stock looks amazing Dale.

Man walks in to the bar .....ow

I enjoy operating the Bakerloo line on Train Sim World 2.3 & 4

Two cannibals eating a clown, one turns to the other and says "does this taste funny to you..?"
