My Favourite Facts About the London Underground

Buy my merch:

5:39: Camden station has four platforms (as your visual showed): Platform 1 - Northbound to Edgware, Platform 3 - Northbound to High Barnet, Platform 2, Southbound from Edgware, Platform 4 - Southbound from High Barnet.
The Circle line was a circuit until 2009, but this caused problems when there were delays, so it was extended to run to Hammersmith so that it has proper termini.
8:38: Stratford also has mainline rail services into Liverpool Street and all of the services are above ground there.
11:14: Like the Elizabeth line, the Overground is not part of the Underground. It is a collection of National Rail services for which the franchise operator is Transport for London.

5:47 The spiral part of Circle Line was added in late 2009, before that it was a loop, or more like a rubberband in actual shape.

The Tube is iconic. Despite its faults, it's still one of my favourite metro systems in the entire world (except Japan Rail and its many private company networks).

I loved the lady that glared at you when you were talking about how wide the train was.

More fun facts .... the station power sockets, look like a domestic UK 13 Amp outlets ... but ALL 3 holes for plug pins are rotated by 90º, ( so you cannot plug in your hairdryer ? ) the tracks have an extra 4th rail compared with network rail, this is to keep the electricity away from the running rails ( to avoid corrosion of any tunnel RINGPIECE ) .... and in a similar vein, Baker street is the ONLY station where you can change from the PINK to the BROWN 😝( ? ) ... DAVE™🛑

Great video here! In my time in london, covent garden was one of the few stations I actually used... now I realize how much better I could have had it.
Its nice to see your interest in London's transport for its quirks. I am from New York and love the subway for how dynamic it is. You can be on a train that was made last year and transfer to another train which was made in the 60s. The stations are all made by different companies with different design standards and it creates a really unique viewing experience to be able to see and use history every day.

I think you need to play Mini Metro if you love these tube maps. :-)

To make it more weird, Bermondsey is actually correct to use "London Cable Car", its not been Emirates Air Line for a good while

[dazpoz]

Stratford is also on the National Rail!

Great video, all very simple facts but still very fun

[SirKenchalot]

Very good presentation and nicely put together.

Camden Town does actually have 4 platforms - 2 on the Edgware branch, 2 on the High Barnet branch. Same way that Euston has 2 on the Bank and 2 on the Charing Cross lines

[andrewbeadle]

the Victoria Line is NOT completely underground.
the Depot is open air. ( Next to Northumberland Park Railway station)
The only line is w&c whos depot is underneath ground

Had to check to make sure the playback speed wasn't set to 1.5 or 2x by default 🤣. Great content, none-the-less!

I would love to see your version of a London Tube Fantasy Map - all the extensions and new lines you would add with unlimited money (but still realistically needed)

Note circle used to be a proper circle
