My least favourite stations and your favourite stations

My eyes hurt.

[namenamename]

I feel like you made this video partly to show off how huge your archive of shots of all the different tube stations is.

[jarvisa]

I admire the dedication in editing all those clips together. It must have taken hours.

I actually quite like Bank. It represents the Underground perfectly: it's messy, sprawling, it was built at different times on top of itself, it joins up stations that have no business being together... But most of all I like that when you know how to navigate it, when you've mastered it, you finally feel like a superman among the tourists and plebs. And then they refurbish it and you have to relearn everything again.

You really should have finished with Mornington Crescent. If you play Jago's variation of the game, with double diagonals resulting in a player being put in Nid until a subsequent usage of double parallels, the sequence used would have been a near perfect game. 😂

It would've been easier to just lost the stations people DIDN'T mention!! What's most impressive to me is that you had a shot for each of them. You've definitely been around a bit!

[justinrovers]

You could have gotten Jay Forman to just do his station song :)
And I can’t hear Mornington Cressant with out saying after it
Another Fantastic video!

[awhite]

I can’t be the only one who did a little internal shout of “hooray!’ when you said Mornington Crescent” 😅

An underground station based on Blade Runner...?

"I've seen C-Stock glitter in the dark off Notting Hill Gate..."

The best thing about London is that all the stations are different. As much as I love the København metro, my favourite station is Marmorkirken for the sole reason that has a slightly different platform layout to everywhere other underground station.

[ospero]

I wasn't expecting Jago's version of "We Didn't Start the Fire" today, but I'm certainly not complaining that I got it. 😁

[greycats]

I just love Russel Square station, but I understand that the reason is for the memories that it brings as it was the one I used to use the most back in 1993 when I first visited London as I lived nearby for around 3 months. Sentimental reasons, really.

[brettpalfrey]

I liked that Westminster was likened to "Bladerunner"! I still like Baker Street, as a reminder of where it all began..nice one Jago!

[riggerthegeek]

Missed a trick not ending the list on Mornington Crescent. You had a perfect Hainault Tryptic at one point

[loddude]

A 3D model of sub-terrain central London would be fun & keep your hamsters fit! Gnawing into 'Lock, Stock & Peanut-butter' bank vaults in pursuit of extra points, it could be a sensational new boardgame : )

[SmallBlogV]

I'm mostly just impressed that you have footage for every one of those stations and dug ALL of them out!
I did love going to Ravenscourt Park, partly because it's invariably very calm, partly for the more classical architecture (and sometimes classical background music!), but also because I went there at lunch to take a sanity break from time in the office and thus saw the park itself as a kind of workday haven.

As Whitechapel, Stepney Green and Mile End have been mentioned, may I add Bow Road as my favourite (and local) station. Grade 2 listed and in both tunnel and open air, the steepest gradient on the Underground system, spectacular cast iron pillars, whistling trains, lots of doors going nowhere, also an absolute mess of cables at its eastern end. Worthy of a programme of its own, in my opinion.

[ijmad]

I do think Bank has been massively improved by the rebuilding works.
The biggest issue still is the interchange with the W&C that is still very long coming from the DLR.

[anthonykeefe]

I have to mention Euston. Du😊ring my student days more than half a century ago, emerging from the final escalator into the mainline station meant that I was about to embark on the penultimate stage of my journey home, a journey which had begun on an Eastern Counties bus to Cambridge station, and would end on a Lancaster City Transport bus to Scotforth.

[cameronmuhic]

For some reason i now have Tom Lehrers Elements song stuck im my head. Id love to hear a London Underground version of it-but it would go on forever!

[davidemmott]

I can't believe that no-one (unless I missed it) mentioned Hammersmith (H & C). It makes me think of a quiet branch-line terminus in a sleepy market town In the West Country.
