End of the Line No.3 - Morden

Показать описание
You don't just walk into Morden - you take the tube there. It's End of the Line Episode 3, and we're down in Zone 4 in South London at the end of the Nothern Line.

But what is there? What's the station like? And can I tempt you to go make a trip yourself if you've never been …

Missed opportunity to say "Guten Morden" as the greeting Geoff.

If they ever split the Northern Line, they should definitely call the line to Morden the Southern Line, to finally put the City & South London Railway back on the map

Lived all my life in Sutton and taken the northern line from Morden so many times. I always said it feels like Sutton and Merton area is the forgotten borough and it’s nice to see it being appreciated. Thank you Geoff

I would have run out of ideas to film years ago. But for some reason, you just keep on turning out great content. Cheers mate!

As a child in the 1920s, my father lived in Balham and he recalled travelling to Morden on the new tube line. On reaching Morden, he and his older brother crossed the road outside the station and picnicked in a farmer's field o[opposite.

Your friend from Newcastle is not alone. From 1987 to 1992 I commuted from Colliers Wood to the City and never once thought to go down to Morden. What an idiot. Now I'm retired whenever I have a travelcard I take random trips to places I've never visited before. Morden is a Must Do Soon!

Kendor Gardens just north of Morden station is worth a visit, it's a long park that covers the tunnels. You can hear (and feel) the trains passing underground

Aussie here. This series is a real winner. I watch each episode at least 3 times to ensure I don't miss anything. Looking forward to the next episode.

Hi Geoff, I was born in Morden so watched with interest as you filmed all the places we used to go as kids. We used to joke the only reason Morden was populated was because people fell asleep on the train and woke up at Morden. It honestly hasn’t changed much over the years though there used to be a cinema where Lidl is now - ah the memories 😂 thank you

I was last in the Morden Station in 1974. Modernized but not changed. Used to cross the footbridge weekly from Grandad's home on Burnham Road for fish & chips. Thank you for the informative trip down memory lane.

I really liked your cameo as Frank Pick in Jay Foreman's latest video, quite fitting for your channel!

As someone who grew up in the Sutton/Mitcham area, Morden station was the start of many a journey into Central London. But I can’t believe you missed out the cultural highlight of Morden, it’s Wimpy restaurant

I grew up in London but now live in the USA. I miss the London Underground. From the age of 14 years old my brother and I used to just take off from the house in Golders Green to travel to exotic destinations such as Ealing, Stanmore and Upminster. I’m now 61 years old but when I visit the UK each Christmas my brother and I sit hunched over the tube and overground map and like eager teenagers we once again plan out our next trip. Last year it was the Elizabeth Line and the Battersea extension. We finally got to Morden a few years ago, it was a fun day out, and I was glad to tick it off my list. Thanks for these videos it’s so nice to see that there is a whole community that shares our love for the London transport system.

Gosh this brought memories flooding back...used to live by The Oval and when I was a lad my Dad asked me where I wanted to go for a day Morden I he asked I don't know I because it's there and I've never been ! He was shaking his head the whole way....memories.

The train doors used to open on both sides at Golders Green too, until 20-odd years ago when one of the platforms was turned into a "staff platform".

I used to live near Morden. I think it is a great area. Best terminus in London. Ganley's Irish pub is worth a visit. I didn't know about the long bridge though. An underrated part of London. Sister Wimbledon gets all the attention.

The end-of-the-line series is great Geoff!

I love the fact that Geoff casually flips the tube map at the start

The Northern Line extension to Sutton through North Cheam would've been great and it makes sense. The intermediary station could've been called 'Morden Park', as it is pretty much halfway between North Cheam and Morden. Wish they re-plan this extension, as there is a lot of space in North Cheam at the moment for development.
