London UK UEFA Euro 2028
This is an excellent documentary researched by Dr Ayshah Johnston for BCA.
4:30 it’s pronounced *Cross!*
Nicest things about these are when it's late at night and you can hear the workings of the escalator echo around the tunnel ua-cam.com/video/Jofc2Ubt-nA/v-deo.html
At Barking, I remember when overground trains used to terminate there but they went on a bit further now to Barking Riverside..
London has walking ringways instead of car ringways
Well well well
Fascinating stuff!🤑🤑🤑🤑
This is my idea of heaven 🍪
2:14 “Tralfagar square” Was Closed In 1993
Bro nle y-by-boeh
Bro you missed North Greenwich and Canary Wharf
....... They are not always on time.. My boat has just arrived 33 minutes late. It's not cheap.. Also it's not" ubur boat by themes clipper".. .
The other non terminus station where doors open on both sides is the West Ruislip bound trains at Stratford
2:21 Please mind the gap between the train and the platform.
Why not earlsfield
'yay i love my job as a guy that stares at ticket barriers for the entire day- wait why is there someone turning around and touching in and out like 3 times?'
Erm, the seats on the Piccadilly (same moquette) are not that comfortable, anyone agree?
Are these still going @londonist ?
Geoff the subclass of 377 that you were on is a suburban Variant if the class 377 is 5 cars in length its a suburban Variant but if its 3 or 4 cars in length its a long distance variant, but you are right that they do sometimes use the long distance 377s on the local suburban metro services but you were on a suburban 377
I'm so glad that the epsom downs branch line gets a half hourly service instead f a hourly service.
I rode, Geoff the Piccadilly Line, Circle Line, District Line, Northern Line, Hammersmith and City Line, and that’s all
2 Years ago it was Emirates Air Line
We miss Vicki.
I live in the UK so secrets of some lines come on my recommended.
I think to make 1 to because I live in London
Are you on crack its not free hahahqqhqh
0:42 looking at you, Euston and Kings Cross St Pancras
2:14-2:20 I heard Emma Clark announcements
Very cool. Linkings to kryptos. Though hor or what lines link? U-bhan underground, S, Y,T,X,E,A in play. Alexander plats to Rosa Luxemburg linking in also. D-Day layer a partial mask/overlap to the spy linking layers. Thank you for sharing. If you know more about the WW2 history of that spot. Please let me know.
I feel like the met and W&C should come to the night tube
WHY geoff WHY do central line trains don't call at totenam court road?
do it again but add 4 extra blue choclates to represent the arrows on the heathrow loop. don't forget to add the battersea extension!
here's one: 7 sisters to barking victoria line to victoria get the district line to barking OR victoria line to blackhorse road and get the GOBLIN to barking
1:54 R.I.P East London Line (Tube) 1990-2007
Damn this was 11 years ago
Watford wont be withdrawn
Nice video Geoff keep it up
im not a londonist myself, but doesnt the jubilee line follow the dlr between canning town and stratford
Bank also has escalators up to the platform now, and also on the central line !
Buy the Daddy's Little Girl mug for your wife, it will spice up your marriage! Thank me later.
I was born in london and i spoke to some japanese (tourists fellows), they said "what makes a cockney?" i replied its very simple mate i am very well ENDOWED!. The females of the party were quite amused!.
pls do the dlr or london overground stations
1:33 now that'd be one very busy station
It’s similar to Hs2 being built at Curzin street in Birmingham. The cafe is downstairs and the platform are upstairs. It looks very modern .
Fun fact: Holborn is the only station where the Piccadilly Line meets the Central Line, which doesn't feel right especially as both have lots of stations in central London
Good old D Stock ... 1980-2017 ... you were and are still loved by many tube fans
King's Cross St Pancras should be called "Nightmare Of A Station To Get Around"
Excellent video. Thanks
Wait is that the actor for Frank Pick on that one Jay Foreman vid about the Tube Map?
