What is it like to drive a train in the rain? Piccadilly Line train to Rayners Lane Sidings 

Only intended to watch for a few minutes but ended up staying for the whole journey. Thanks for the ride!

Brings back memories of our first trip to Britain from America in 1984. Heathrow to Earls Court station. Very enjoyable.

Συγχαρητήρια από Ελλάδα, ρομαντική βόλτα με τον σιδηρόδρομο του βροχερού Λονδίνου! ❤❤❤ Αν ζούσα εκεί, σίγουρα θα μετακινούμουν μόνο με το τρένο!

Loving these, nice to see 'the tube' from the front end,

Hello Dale this is the 4th of your videos I've watched and wanted to say thank you I'm learning loads about the underground and your commentaries are great.

what ??? rain in London, what kind of alternate reality is that 😁.. I love all daylight videos.

Definitely liked the video and your comments. Just didn’t like the British weather, but we can’t blame you for that! I live in Scotland and we get plenty of rain too 🌧️

Yet another great video. I love the way you explain all the signals and other devices on the line. Very interesting! You have answered many questions I've had over the years watching Underground vids..

Enjoyed the Rayners Lane arrival in my armchair in Victoria,Canada. Fond memories of visiting my cousin aunt and uncle on Wellbeck Road,Rayners Lane from Sheringham Norfolk in the ‘50’s. Showing my age a bit. 1938 stock as old as me but there you go. My favourite. Thanks well enjoyed!

Dale Chatman I love your videos because I want to be a London Underground train driver just like you and your videos really inspire me so keep up the good work

Hi, great, I use to live at Arnos Grove, so great memories there! Thanks all your great content. Steve

Running late brightened up the day for the passengers changing from the Ealing Broadway train!

This brought back a flood of happy memories. I was on the Picadilly line only last Saturday.

I've just found your channel. Thank you for your videos. Very informative without being over the top. Just subscribed and now playing catchup.

Thank you for a. Livery cab. Ride. More please.

Love love love your Underground videos. I lived in Reading for a few years and became a bit of an Underground nerd. Thanks for all your insights!

Very enjoyable. Thank you for sharing.

This brought back some memories. I used to commute between Sudbury Town and Hammersmith. Used to travel a lot on the underground network until I moved away from north-west London over 30 years ago. Thanks for the ride. Incidentally, those buildings next to Alperton station looked recent, ie post-1991.

Fantastic video Dale. So many memories. We moved to Rayners Lane in the 60’s. I used to catch that train to South Kensington where all the Museums were. As I was watching, I could still reel off every station in turn! I was only about 9 years old, when I first went on the underground. Different times eh? Thank you for taking the time to do this video. Really appreciated.

Thoroughly enjoyed this video. Thank you for making it.

Having lived in Cockfosters and used the Piccadilly line, it brings back happy memories watching these videos as I now live in York! Keep up the good work as I really enjoy watching your videos 🙂

I enjoy watching your videos and appreciate making of these videos and thank you.

I love all the way in the midlands and love your videos!

A cracking video, thanks for posting it up, and roll on the next one.

Great video. I love the commentary on how the lines work and signaling. I don't travel anymore so these video train rides are brilliant.

Nice vid. Brought back memories from my work commute back in the early 90's.

Mesmerising! Thanks also for your commentary, just enough. More please!

This was very enjoyable, thank you from across the pond.

Great videos. Thank you for filming and uploading 😀

Greetings from Australia. I'm an old (more ways than one) Colindale passenger. Many trips in the 60s on the Northern line down to King's Cross to see my sister. Keep the videos coming.

Brilliant video, really brought back memories when I used to visit London (albeit late 1960's early 1970's). Subscribed and will be looking at your past and of course future video's, thank you! i

Hi,really like your videos, my dad was a ddm at Cockfosters for many years so love the piccadilly line,please keep the videos coming.

Thanks Dale for your videos, most interesting & informative. Love the unusual bits of the shunt sidings etc, etc Look forward to your next content 🙂

I am thoroughly enjoying your videos and the technical input you give. Please keep them coming.

A great video always nice to see as I traveled on the Piccadilly line to work every day.

Great trip in the rain, thank you, Steve. (From New Zealand.)

This is a great video, I really enjoy the commentary and thanks for uploading

Great video. Cup of coffee in front of P.C. relax and enjoy. Very enjoyable and I look forward to more from you kind sir. 👍

Thanks for the video. I learn a little bit more of the British way of life all the time.

I loved it. And u go past bottom of my mum and dads house just b4 u pass the big iron bridge heading for Rayners Lane. In 70's I used to sit on the steps having a crafty cig I pinched off dad lol

Excellent video. Thank you!!

Nice to be out in the fresh air, even if it is raining. Very interesting.

Great video looking forward to the next one

Really lovely view despite the typical British weather. Also just learned that tube window wipers are air powered! Fascinating!

It’s always cool to see how trains are run in other countries! Great video and wonderful commentary!

I enjoyed watching this video, it brings so much memories as I use to travel a lot on the tubes , especially on the Piccadilly line . I use to travel to London three times a year in the 90 s . I come from Malta. Thanks .

Great video. Use to live near Sudbury Town/Hill now live in SW London. Great seeing these stations again.

Great to hear technical aspects of operations as you operate and any little known history of key sections of lines. Great vids all around

Thank you for this. Years ago i used to commute from Eastcote to Ealing Common and whenever i had to wait on the westbound platform for a Met train, i would sometimes look over the concrete barrier at the sidings that used to be there. It still had one old coal wagon! Over the years it rotted away to just a chassis.

Been driving main line for decades now, love the vid, great to see the last box I worked at Rayners lane.

As always Dale fascinating 👍

Hi Dale really like your underground content I find it really interesting and informative thankyou. 👍

New subscriber here, the Piccadilly is my favourite Tube line and it is so underrated. I really enjoy your content to do with this line and I’m excited for the new trains to enter service in 2025 👍

I love cab ride videos, so relaxing to have as background. It was nice to have a commentary as well, which is something I don't generally like, but I liked this one. Nice vid bud

I really enjoy that. I love the underground and thank you for taking your time to do that. It was really nice. Just hope we see some more. Please

great videos! i could watch them all day!

Great effort and Explanations of the technical working to your various Routes you Operate the Rolling Stock .. !!!!😮🎉😂

Nicely filmed video. Your commentary was clear and informative. Felt like a real trip out on the train.

This is a great informative and educational video, love your accent ... being from Ontario Canada ... thank you very much for sharing and for narrating along the line which helps us understand what you are doing as you proceed along your route. Looking forward to many more of your videos. Thanks again from Ontario, Canada.

Perfect english weather. Really refreshing. Thanks

A fascinating insight into the driver’s perspective.

Anther interesting journey with an exellent commentary.

Lovely atmosphere, quite enjoyable with the rain funny enough. There's something about London's Tube and its trains that always fascinates me. It's trains, but quite different.

Thank you. I like this video. Good commentary too.

Been riding the tube since being born in 78 the D stock with the orange moquette was my favourite

I very much enjoy your videos Dale. The operation of the Tube has always fascinated me and so your comments assist an understanding of how the whole thing works. I know I've mentioned before that a rusty rail train into Down Street siding would be interesting as indeed are all unusual workings; Wood Green siding? Thanks again.

Very interesting video Dale, thoroughly enjoyed it👍

Brilliant,thanks so much

Really enjoyed the video, Thanks. I lived in Central London (Bayswater) for 15 years and always wished I could ride in the cab of an underground train (particularly to "see" the closed stations (British Museum, etc.)! I'm shortly returning to England for my annual holiday "back home" but flying economy! 73, Ian (Sydney, Australia)

Very enjoyable. Except for the window wipers. lol. All the best.

Brilliant. keep up the great Videos!

Excellent video and grate information keep up the good work 👏👏

Fabulous thanks. While watching I was thinking about the complexities of signalling and also making sure all the points are set correctly. It must be really complex. All the best.

I remember Geoff Marshall saying that Roding Valley was the least used station on the Central line, so I went and he was right. when I come down to London from the NE I normally stay at Buckhurst Hill, I just love that area and Wanstead. Another great video Dale.

Just found your channel and subscribed looking forward to seeing your content 👍

Thanks very much. Enjoyed it

I loved the video. I have always wondered what it would be like to be a train driver.

I love this video keep them coming too

Thanks Dale. Love the videos…

What a brilliant video with excellent commentary Love to be there to

Enjoyed it, good video.A little info on some of the main lines you went under/over wold be great.

Great video, keep them coming👍🏻

I like your videos. Good stuff!!!

I’m really enjoying your drivers cab videos. I always fancied being a train driver. I drove busses for First for many years in Southend and was often tempted to make the big jump to train driving. I guess there’s many similarities, especially with dealing with the passengers. Like you, I did all the late shifts. It’ll be all right if you didn’t have to keep stopping all the time. Anyway, I’m now an English teacher in Japan, so no more busses for me. All the very best to you.

Very enjoyable video Dale....interesting to have a ride in the rain as well. Those wipers must drive you foolish after awhile...quite noisy!

Good video despite the weather / wipers etc . Seems like you had a lot to cope with on that trip . But glad you got through unscathed .

Really good video was not planning on watching soong but glad i did.

I like it relax to watch

Great video mate 😊

Great video as always Dale, I feel that your cab rides are amongst the best. My biggest gripe with other youtube channels, is that the cameras used dont seem to be able to cope with change in daylight to tunnel darkness. Been on this line a lot over the years when visiting relatives in Uxbridge. Some of the most iconic stations are on the Piccadilly line IMHO. Uxbridge and Cockfosters are almost like twins. Its as if they were designed by the same architect😂.

Hi, I used to regularly travel on the Piccadilly Line 75 years ago, between Osterley and Hounslow West, its western terminus at the time. Just visiting your channel brings back many memories of my time in the UK. The train service then was excellent compared to what I receive now from our local station here in Australia, but the weather does not seem to have changed at all over the last 75 years or so.

Did not relise how much Underground Trains travel on Overground, it's something you never think about, but I find it all very interesting , and relize you Drivers hve a lot to think about and also have to use your own safety Jugement I enjoy these videos 😀

Brilliant video

Your videos are great!

Enjoy your trip down under. Depending on where you are going it is our winter, so cold and wet, but not as cold as the UK is in winter.

I love this train videos😃😃

Thank you for this video. Driving in the rain is harder then some people think. Could be bad for the wheels if you brake or accelerate to quick. I like this video. Your dutch fan Mark 😁

I Really enjoy watching your content and very Informative.. You should be training New Drivers with your skill and professionalism

Looking forward to your next upcoming video this Saturday Mr Charman

I think this video taught me more on your signalling system somewhat different that Australian Signalling systems although S.A and Queensland use a bit of yours but us in NSW much different
