  Well done Sir. I used to get the Jubilee Line Train from Westminster to Bermondsey and then walk through the council estate opposite Bermondsey Tube Station and make my way through to the River Thames and walk from Tower Bridge to Westminster Bridge. It was lovely to see all lights in the evening and during the day it was a pleasant walk. Then I would walk to Waterloo Station and get the 21 00 pm train home to Portsmouth.

  in the course of your career you've seen the tracks next to the jubilee line between stratford and canning town change from NLL to DLR, the end of wayside signals on the Jubilee, the addition of a seventh carriage, both A and S stock on the Met, and the 1996 stock refurbishment. also there was the period when it was part of the "Tube Lines" enterprise. You've made so many Londoners' lives more convenient and the TFL will miss having a great driver.

  Congratulations on your retirement great videos I have a question why at some stations is there a glass barrier between the trains and the platform

• 
  @itsjustanideaАй бұрын

  Thank you for watching, your best wishes and your interesting question. There is a misconception that the glass barrier between the track and platform is for safety purposes. The section of track was completed to open the extended jubilee line from green park in 2000, and is referred to as “ the extension “. This new section included a tunnel ventilation system that can blow in either direction when needed and the glass walls and platform edge doors are to stop that air from dissipating through the platforms, the tunnel ventilation system wouldn’t work without them. The obvious safety benefit is really just a bonus. I hope that answer is ok. Thanks again 👍👍

  Where do you get your train operator licence? if that's what it's called

• 
  @itsjustanideaАй бұрын

  Thanks for your question, it’s a good one. Yes we have to be licensed to drive a train, however unlike licenses to drive cars, lorries or buses. Even licences to fly planes, you can’t go to a train driving school to get one. Train operating companies have to train their operators . Which in my opinion is why train operators are reasonably well paid, after a very expensive training program the companies don’t want to lose their operators. 👍👍

  Crazy to see the automation not even Japan opt'd to automate the line their busiest line the Yamanote Line is still controlled by the driver however they do have automation in case you fall short of the stop the train will automatically position itself. They have plans to automate that line but that's the only confirmed one. Happy retirement though!
