Im a tube driver and literally every single one is wrong 😂😂

The map? What the fuck is that about

[stevecooksley]

I love the fact that these facts were probably gleaned from someone in a pub on their fifth pint, claiming to be a tube driver.

[danieljohnmorris]

You can definitely miss the last train once you’re in the station

[PaulWilliamGibson]

No. 2 is hilarious, people don’t use one line over another because its supposedly quicker, they use the line that takes them where they want to go 😂

[MrCrabs]

Oh wow all these facts are wrong by a mile. I literally work on the underground and it’s all wrong. Please don’t believe this post and ask me anything you want to know :)

[oasisblackcurrant]

They have lights, not every driver wants them on

[pldisawasteofmylife]

What a load of crap - all cabs have lights, the majority of train ops just dont like having them on whilst driving. Also, its not fully automated, train ops operate the doors and start the train.

[Arbitaylis]

Central gets crowded because it passes through stations like: Liverpool Street, Holborn, Oxford Circus, Bank, Tottenham Court Road, Marble Arch and Holland Park.

All of which are either: centres of business and industry, centres of tourism, or host high-end apartments in Central London or its nearby areas.

Fact No 8 London Underground is free on the 30th of February

[DanSimmonds]

As a Driver I know the Metropolitan line is the fastest with a line speed of 60mph. We also don't have a different tube map to use than anyone else.

[ElliotCoulling]

As someone who used to live on the central line I promise it’s not the fastest 😂

[sentryzero]

You forgot the one about the trains being powered by the royal corgis

[UrbFoxFact]

whenever you hear an american narrating a video about another country, you know it's going to be hilarious crap.

[BenHart_]

This guy has the audacity to sell tube merch when he’s clearly never been to London in his life

[fermatlittletheorem]

OK, well I have missed the last train after tapping in, so that is bullshit.

[bodienutt]

Rubbish the Vic line is much faster then the central line another stupid video made by someone who has probably never been to London

[evilunclepaul]

There are wild horses in the tunnels that have to be culled occasionally, with hammers. Or so said Ted Maul

[llanrog]

The idea that the central line is overcrowded because it’s fast is hilarious, and just dumb 😂

[Monka]

“Central line is the fastest”
Victoria line : 👁️ 👄👁️ lol
God bless you all ❤

[peanuts]

When a Septic Tank talks about london, you know its going to be bollocks
