The underground network is in the grip of a heatwave and with the average temperature on the tube being 10 degrees higher than outside, emergency services need to be called.
Summer 2002 was no easy feat for the people working on the tube, making sure day to day workings of the underground ran as smoothly as possible. From strikes to repairs, to world records, join us as we get to know the unsung heroes of the Tube.

I love the Underground staff. They are truly amazing. I caught a train from Reading to Paddington last Saturday, in the hopes to travel on to Canada Water, but I was told that half the tube was shut (I was on one of the new Purple Crossrail/Elizabeth Line trains). So I got off at East Acton and went the long way round to Canada Water. Trouble was, this was the first time I've ever been through East Acton and there's no ticket barriers so I ended up just hoping straight onto the tub from my train. By the time I got to Canada Water I explained my story and how I should get at, the guy just let me out. It was a genuine mistake and he understood. He saved me the £6.50 fare for a "lost ticket" and just explained that next time I have to leave the station and walk back through the ticket barriers with my Oyster.

Very good video, the ticket inspectors are almost delightful compared to NY. I was in London in the last weekend in June of 2019 for the Yankee/Red Sox series at London Stadium, it was a hot weekend 35-45 degrees C in the Underground. Nobody expects the system to be air conditioned but with climate change the carriages have to be upgraded with AC. Currently the answer seems to be the vents above the windows get opened as well as the windows at the end of each car, this results in hot air being flushed through the train with the mechanical smells of the system in addition to the extreme noise. The Underground is far superior to NY’s but at least we have AC in the cars offering some respite in the carriages. I know the UK is not accustomed to hot weather, it’s one of the things I love about it, but it be hooves the system to get on the ball, it ain’t gonna get any better going forward.

We had those same problems when I worked on the gateline duties for London underground at Victoria station back in 2017. While that customer walked through without a ticket

11:37 Come to some of the Australian railway stations and underground trains where the outside temperature is plus 100f / 38c and can easily be 105f / 41c. How much can a koala bear?

Take a shot every time he says *”Matey”* and see how long until you’re drunk

who is the guy at the beginning of the show who decides that an ambulance isn't required. Did he do his basic observations as a half decent medic would do, or did he just act up for the camera.

@asystole_ 5 лет назад

Yeah Brian seems like a nice, caring guy but I would have just let the ambulance check her out. They've already been called, better be safe than sorry.

I love the Prague Subway. Cool in summer, warm in winter.

In Montreal there are designated spots in the Metro where « musicians » can perform. There is an honour system where each musician can reserve the spot for a certain duration, by slipping a piece of paper under the sign. People can drop change in the fellow’s instrument box he puts ion the floor in front of him. It works well. I have seen players from the conservatory practicing Mozart, and our version of Bob Marley :) And no license is required :)

A version of this system is now in operation on the Underground (this documentary is from some years ago).

I'm across the pond in Boston. Our system is MUCH smaller than yours. Most of the trains have AC here but the downside to that is undersgound stations get VERY hot because all the heat from the condensers of the AC's has no real way out of the tunnels. In the hottest part of the summer they put large stand mounted fans on the platforms to at try and keep the air moving.

During these two years ago I passed some of these people who were on film at the time, but sadly you will not see me as I was already at the festival during this tine this was the hottest year for me at wireless festival or so and those all of us just could not stop drinking and those poor staff of the underground had to work through it all day.

The thing with the gold card... while I understand that it's against the rules/law to use one that doesn't belong to you, I don't understand why. If the card was legitimately purchased, the Underground got their money and as long as only one person at a time is riding (on that gold card), what difference does it make whether it's the person who purchased the card or someone to whom they've lent the card?

@AdamLaMore 4 года назад

I imagine they set the price of the cards and other passes based on how many average trips they expect the holder to make. Consider if all monthly/annual passholders decided to take two extra trips per day - that would be a lot of extra trips that TfL would have to support without getting any additional revenue.

It was this underground heat that made the Kings Cross Tube Fire so deadly as heat rises and the Atmospheric Press forces masses of cooler air in.

Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view!" Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam." Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!" Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky." Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction." Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment ?

10:05 It's refreshing to hear an employee straight up tell a "customer" right to his face "hey, I think you're full of sh_t, pal." Bravo, lad! If more companies and agencies empowered their employees to actually stand up for themselves and openly reject outright lies without risking getting into trouble, I think we'd have better-behaved people in the world.
