From April 1979 to October 1988 I commuted into Holborn Viadact from St. Mary Cray so the sights and sounds of the 415EPB's are a wonderful reminder of those days. I was working at Pearl Assurance at the time. One thing that has stuck in my mind from those days was the cost of my first annual season ticket which was £327.

Used to go to Holborn viaduct when I did jury service back in 1981 at the old bailey as it was only a short distance

The branch to Holborn Viaduct was very short. These type of cab rides are so valuable because it has all changed

I never went to Blackfriars or Holborn Viaduct so this was very interesting. Thank you.

Love the noises the most. The guard pinging go. The noise of the motors as it accelerates. It’s all so familiar. The ancient AWS for a red or amber. The creaking wooden frame. And yet it appears to be 33 years ago 😮 see how quick the stop/start is with a guard onboard!! Must be hitting near 70mph 5:11 ? Or is that a trick of the camera? Love the old bridge pillars 9:45 are they still there? (It’s been YEARS since I was here).

And see how that area has changed, I don't think you'll find that much open greenery now.

My toes were curling up as he approached those buffers at Holborn Viaduct 😂 Obviously before TPWS.

Haha good solid wood buffers. They'd put a stop to that train safely alright. 👍🏼 😂

Nice video. Holborn Viaduct closed in 1990. The Thameslink service would have been brand new.

I'm going to say later in 1988 as Ludgate House is under construction on the south side of Blackfriars Bridge, but after May as there's a Thameslink train.
