I was prepared for C**kfosters thanks to a previous comment but still laughed (and every time I rode the Piccadilly line northbound still laughed)
Cross-rail is now open WhiteChraple to Paddington in 15 Min
The only thing which is annoying on London's tube is the naming of the lines. I'd prefer numbers like U1, U2, etc…
second-hand underground trains can be found on the Isle of White and other places
I'm enjoying your videos, but I was wondering if it would be possible to incorporate subtitles? I find auditory processing difficult, and it would be so helpful!
When you will make a video about milan’s metro system?
Bakerloo most boring??????? what is wrong with you man? It's a vintage railway running every few minutes.
Two complaints from Jago Hazard's cameo. The Met Line also shares track with Chiltern Railways between Harrow-on-the-Hill and Amersham which seems to be overlooked and the terminus at the end of the Bakerloo is Harrow & WealdSTONE, us locals pronounce the Stone, it's not Stne.
RMTransit and Jago Hazzard on one video? Fantastic!
Thank you! Wonderful explainer!
8:31 looool
I love the Jago cameo
Can you please do a video on the wayfinding innovations on the London Underground (not least the Tube map!) that influenced or should influence other metro systems?
The underground is a great system do not get me wrong but with the unpredictable industrial action going on now. its paralyzing the the city to bus system or motor choices over rail.
that's really nice. which tube line is the deepest one?
Why do all british train have to look like every other train in the world. It was unique to have British trains so diiferent from all of the European trains. London has become very boring in the fact it looks like all other cities in the world. I do not understand why? I was proud of being a Londoner, but not anymore. Trains buses and buildings are VERY UGLY.
"****fosters"
Hi. Great vid as usual. One point to make: the Piccadilly line shares track with the District Line only as far as Hammersmith, not Earls Court. They both travel through the same stations between those two, but quite separately. The District remains sub-surface, but the Piccadilly dives into deep tunnel after leaving Hammersmith.
i love the censorship of cockfosters
Do you plan on doing any developing country's metro system? I really like your videos, but they seem to focus way too much on US/Canada and Europe (also Tokyo and HK). We have amazing metro systems in places like Brazil, Chile, Mexico, Argentina… (I am from Latin America btw)
Is the Tokyo video still up? I can't find it.
recently visited england and I really loved riding the system, and also the names always standed out for me, I don't know how to describe it but they just feel very "english"
The Piccadilly line's lack of connections to the circle line is even more dumb when you consider there are literally two stations called Hammersmith all of 160 metres apart. Merging them to provide that connection would require all of 100 metres worth of pedestrian tunnel. That is absolutely doable and would not even be that far compared to the maximum transfer distance at a major mainline train station, stations like Bristol Temple Meads, Birmingham New Street, and Manchester Piccadilly are big enough that you come close to that in the worst case. Don't even get me started on just how much worse it is to get from the gate to the connecting transit at even a modest sized commercial airport. No idea why they don't build what would be an easily affordable pedestrian underpass connecting the two.
Anyone know where to find the video on Tokyo? I can't seem to find it.
Beep fosters! Brilliant! Could be worse, could be Scunthorpe.
Accessibility across the London transport network and even across the UK aren’t particularly great full stop. Greater Anglia’s 745 flirts are excellent and have an extendable ramp to support boarding and off boarding. The tube network as a whole isn’t great. There are some raised ‘humps’ on some platforms which allow level boarding for wheelchairs and pushchairs etc but nothing amazing. It seems that the only stations where any effort has been made are stations that already have accessibility features built in – lifts etc. otherwise, you’re stuck for want of a better word. I’m not a wheelchair user but my mobility is severely restricted and as much as I’d love to spend days riding the tube, I know I have to rely on being in good health and able to move freely on those days.
Tell me every single stock and what line/s they run on in my reply
Okay, I take the fact that we had to censor Cockfosters (a cock is an animal btw) as a clear indicator that we can also just end humanity at this point. It's really enough now.
At ~7.30 you make a contentious statement that there is some sort of problem on the Northern Line at Camden that TFL intends to 'sort out'. The amazing tunnels south of the Camden Town that allows the Edgeware and High Barnet branches to go down either the Bank and Charing Cross lines build resiliency into the line, albeit at the cost of peak train frequency. If any of the branches have a blockage then trains can be automatically re-routed down the remaining lines to maintain cross-city services and therefore should not be so easily dismissed as some sort of problem that needs to be rectified. I've lived on the High Barnet branch for 15 years and I can assure you that while the initial complexity of the line compared to simplicity of a line like more conventional single route service makes things confusing for tourists (I've helped to redirect many lost souls over the years), for people who use the service every day the removal of through-routes you get from the splitting of the line would slow our journeys considerably having to interchange at a redeveloped Camden Town. Improving capacity on the southern section where commuters literally have to travel south before interchanging onto a north bound train to find capacity is a far higher and more cost effective priority than the Camden Town limitations.
3:10 Edgware Road is also an eastbound terminus, so your phrasing is inaccurate.
4:26 💯
The first line on the network was the northern line (well part of it) not the Waterloo and City.
Just a shame how poor the UK does on public transit when you leave London. All prestige, glitz and glamour in London, while the rest of the country rots!
16:39 is it just me or does that station look a lot like the Copenhagen metro?
