Putting the station names was a nice touch; thank-you!

So many lovely spots of engineering brick retaining walls with lovely green foliage overhanging to create the picture plus the arches of the bridges which a passenger will never see!!!

One of the better train journeys on KZread. Well done.

Great vid. Used to work on the P-way back in 1990 from Charing Cross to New Cross. So many changes. Heard it's all red zone nowadays. Great to see one of the old P-Way lobbies (the old signal box off Cannon Street bridge) is still there. Bought back a lot of great memories from when British Rail was full of old school men.

This was magnificent. This is the best series on youtube.

Having station names is a great idea too thank you

We lost our third rails in France back in the 70s and they only covered a part of the Paris suburbs! it is nice to see them well alive here.

Tanu Ccio South London tracks and in Kent, Sussex and Surrey are generally third-rail DC tracks. North London - bar a couple of exceptions are OHLE AC, Tanu.

Thank you for this. I'd already forgotten how Abbey Wood looked just a few years ago. Nothing like that now.

I’m hoping to get out and refilm these soon, showing the changes in the area and up towards London Bridge

Thanks for the memories !! From 1959 - 1961, while studying Hotel Management at Westminster Technical College ( now Kingsway) I rode this line back and forth daily. My station, Woolwich Arsenal, feels familiar but none of the others from Charing Cross as I was always crammed in , standing, like a sardine that I hardly ever got to see out the windows, even on Saturdays when I went up toThe Valley to watch Charlton play. however , for the past 56 years in Canada and the USA, I was always able to recite every station from Charing Cross to Dartford !!! Conditioning, I guess.

My late father always arranged his signalling rotas at Charlton and Charlton Lane Crossing signalboxes so he could go down and watch when at home. Woolwich has changed dramatically, I was a long range sniper at the barracks which was handy as I used to do my 10 miles runs every day to my mums in Bromley where having a fry up would run back for the offical brekkers then the days work. My great grandfather was a very well known policeman in the area, his "patrol" (reads free beer and food route) started at Greenwich West, along the main road to Prince of Orange pub, then after checking the beer was fine would wobble a bit up to his house in Point Hill for his first of several breakfasts, then he would wander off across Blackheath down to the village checking the validity of the tea van, various pubs and cafe's, then down to the Royal Standard, along Shooter's Hill down into Woolwich proper, then along and back via Charlton to sign off at his station and very unsteady wander home for a scolding and sleep. He had zero arrests on his beat but also zero crime too and well respected for actually caring about his people as he called 'em.

Great video! I do love the 376s… funnily enough I did that exact same line today in 376011😂

A scenic journey! It took me a while to figure out that Southeast rail lines are not shown on my Tube map even though their territories overlap.

Like it! I'd love to see in the future any S stock with their engines converted to work with 750v DC riding this loop (these lines seems to be ready for these stocks)

Thanks Emmo,that’s something to look forward to,have a good xmas,safe driving,jerry

nice vid my dad drove these lines any chance doing charing x to maidstone via strood but not divertin via deptford wot happened to, is it new cross or new cross gate i think the gate is on the brighton line

Nice video, thanks.

I assume that's CrossRail they're working on between Plumstead and Abbey Wood? Will the SE running lines be slewed over to the right (as we saw it), or will there be a crossover just outside Abbey Wood? Thanks for the video!

Yes you are correct. The southeastern tracks will be moved over to the right for the new crossrail tracks to be placed.
