Definitely liked the video and your comments. Just didn’t like the British weather, but we can’t blame you for that! I live in Scotland and we get plenty of rain too 🌧️

Brings back memories of our first trip to Britain from America in 1984. Heathrow to Earls Court station. Very enjoyable.

I remember Geoff Marshall saying that Roding Valley was the least used station on the Central line, so I went and he was right. when I come down to London from the NE I normally stay at Buckhurst Hill, I just love that area and Wanstead. Another great video Dale.

Loving these, nice to see 'the tube' from the front end,

Fantastic video Dale. So many memories. We moved to Rayners Lane in the 60’s. I used to catch that train to South Kensington where all the Museums were. As I was watching, I could still reel off every station in turn! I was only about 9 years old, when I first went on the underground. Different times eh? Thank you for taking the time to do this video. Really appreciated.

Love love love your Underground videos. I lived in Reading for a few years and became a bit of an Underground nerd. Thanks for all your insights!

Very enjoyable. Thank you for sharing.

Great video looking forward to the next one

Having lived in Cockfosters and used the Piccadilly line, it brings back happy memories watching these videos as I now live in York! Keep up the good work as I really enjoy watching your videos 🙂

This brought back some memories. I used to commute between Sudbury Town and Hammersmith. Used to travel a lot on the underground network until I moved away from north-west London over 30 years ago. Thanks for the ride. Incidentally, those buildings next to Alperton station looked recent, ie post-1991.

A great video always nice to see as I traveled on the Piccadilly line to work every day.

Thank you for this. Years ago i used to commute from Eastcote to Ealing Common and whenever i had to wait on the westbound platform for a Met train, i would sometimes look over the concrete barrier at the sidings that used to be there. It still had one old coal wagon! Over the years it rotted away to just a chassis.

Yeah, they seem to be air-powered on most trains. I wonder why that is. I mean, sure, trains have compressed air available (runs the brakes) but they have electricity, too (turns the wheels).

But trains probably don't have 12V DC, as a car would, to power windscreen wiper motors. You can't use the traction voltage to run a small wiper motor.

Fabulous thanks. While watching I was thinking about the complexities of signalling and also making sure all the points are set correctly. It must be really complex. All the best.

I’m really enjoying your drivers cab videos. I always fancied being a train driver. I drove busses for First for many years in Southend and was often tempted to make the big jump to train driving. I guess there’s many similarities, especially with dealing with the passengers. Like you, I did all the late shifts. It’ll be all right if you didn’t have to keep stopping all the time. Anyway, I’m now an English teacher in Japan, so no more busses for me. All the very best to you.

Very enjoyable. Except for the window wipers. lol. All the best.
