In this video, we showcase a night of trespass in London from 2019, where we focused on exploring two different abandoned transport lines, located beneath the city. The ghostly chambers were once used for trains and trams, but now sit in darkness, the only passing sign of life is the echo of the tube and cars in the distance!

The closing of so many phenomenal public transport systems remains one of the worst things we ever did to ourselves in the post-ww2 era.

Interesting to see the “third Rail” in the Kingsway tram tunnel. Running down the middle of the track into which a probe hung out from the underneath of the tram, through a slit, and picked up electricity from the power rail down there. I remember sitting on the top deck of the tram going through the tunnel. All the time I thought we would scrape the roof. I was 11.

It must really get your adrenaline going exploring these places. The other underground line was also fascinating to watch. Great video guys👍👍👍

That was on a different level (if you pardon the pun 🙂). A really interesting video lads, that makes you stop and think that we don't really fully realise what's under out feet. The tram tunnel was a total surprise to me as never thought anything like that existed and it's a shame that it could not be brought back into service again. Thanks as always for taking us a long on your journey.

Try as I can not to blow sunshine up where the sun don't shine, I've got to give you credit for keeping the footage flowing and just adding a correction in afterwards (e.g. Kingsway tunnel film location pre~aged Union Sq. posters). As a first time viewer, was just thinking that you must be happy in your skin: it comes across in the refreshingly everyday presentation. Apols for the ramble but as a medically retired fellow Mole, it needed to be said I reckoned. Banging boys, Bravo!

Great video as always well edited and perfect background music added loved the start of the video very professional indeed definitely a different style of location abandoned underground train lines very dark and trashed with bricks and other things looks like it was used for storing things its very interesting that it was used for a film set in 2009 ashamed the underground sign and other advertising papers were all rotting away and falling apart that what happens when its in darkness and rain dripping down the metal railing on the road anyways hope I your having a good afternoon so far Alistair and keep up the great content on the channel as always as its so entertaining to watch👍

That was super. Interesting that the lights were left on. I wonder why?

@jesswright8279 11 месяцев назад

It’s curious that so many of the places they visit which may have been abandoned for years still have power and lighting. It almost lends a creepiness to it- as if someone is saying come and look at this!

@secondbackwaterdivide 11 месяцев назад

The rathole lights are actually on PIRs, they come on when they detect movement. A little surprising when it all lights up around you. It's still maintained by NR so it needs lighting for worker safety. The pumps to pump out the storage tunnels need regular maintenance. I think the surface-level cross-tunnel also has an access/emergency exit role for some other NR infra nearby.

@davidwebber2951 6 месяцев назад

The Kingway tram tunnel bypasses the Aldwich under ground. The opening at the other end is still visable under the north side of waterloo bridge. The hole now has a night club in it. The south end of the tunnel was filled in for a road tunnel that starts in the middle of waterloo bridge (one way),goes under the aldwich following the tram route and comes up into kingway before the station that they filmed. There were two staions on the tram tunnel, Holburn and Aldwich. Aldwich was destroyed by the building of the road tunnel. I belive that some of the signage and station furniture is at Acton museum depot.

Camden council use it to store little used but occasionally essential traffic and crowd controlling barriers, as well as other road things so it's not exactly unused. Maybe a council worker is one of your _rodacy_ or has a taste for it.

@BritishEngineer 11 месяцев назад

I wonder how the power is still engaged to those fluorescent lamps?

@BritishEngineer 11 месяцев назад

If those lamps use ballasts, assuming the caps have worn out over the years, they pose a huge risk of phase shifting the the mains sinewave 90° behind and drawing reactive power.

@adamzieba8364 11 месяцев назад

@@BritishEngineer AFAIK capacitors used to compensate reactive power have polyester or similar dielectric and are quite durable in contrast to electrolytic capacitors used in consumer electronics which often cause problems after some 10 or more years.

You did not even indicate the location of the Lime Tunnel and you did not provide even a rudimentary map of either route. VERY AMATEURISH.
