Love the music . Always liked the red trains and this reminds me of being a kid in 1972 and going out with my mum . We used to go to Kensington and Bond Street, all over London.
Late 70s to 1981 definitely. The big tube rolling stock cascade that saw TS56/59 transfer from the Piccadilly to the Northern to replace the TS38s the best examples of which moved to the Bakerloo was complete by year end. The superb CO/CP bowed out (the farewell tour is shown) in 1981. Nice to see a nearly brand-new C77 in the background.
I was overtaken by nostalgia, having arrived in London in 1960 and retiring to my native Australia at 65. in 1998. My geography of all of Greater London was always informed by its comprehensive underground railway system. I often revisit London by a great UTube site called Wanderizm.
Great film images, great memories, but had to turn off the sound! Completely inappropriate and awful quality music, I'm afraid. If you have any more, please no music!
This is the 70s, not the 80s - the 38 Stock on the Stanmore branch pre-dates the opening of the Jubilee line in 1979, and it had gone from the Northern line a couple of years earlier.
@@GabrielTragheim It was not splendid, as it was completely out of tune. This has probably been taken from a warped vinyl record that has been distorted in storage over the course of many decades.
@@AdrianLee-ho1ds Alright Adrian, I think you've bitched on about it for long enough. Turn the bluddy thing off or just stop watching it if it bothers you that much, but your griping about it is getting tiresome.
Does anybody know what that single Victoria line (or possibly Northern or Bakerloo) car is doing sandwiched between two 1938 motor cars forming a three car train is about ? I would be interested to know.
Most of this footage is from the 1970's. If there's any 80's footage, it's from right at the beginning of that decade. There's nothing here that's later than 1981.
Presumably you mean the group of lights on the front of the 1938 Tube Stock. Different combinations of lights indicated different destinations, the code only known to LT staff and a few cognoscenti passengers.
@ I believe it was something to do with the line voltage and also Croxley Green depot didn’t keep any spare parts for them. Perhaps someone maybe able to confirm this?
Not sure but there were three carriages. At West Ken I remember at odd times of day / night sometimes we had some kind of trade underground (not district line) stock going through in the direction of Barons Court. Unless my memory is playing tricks on me I think they even could go in that direction down the 'wrong' platform...
@@bganonimouse2754Probably engineering trains drawn by battery locomotives going to and from Lillie Bridge depot which is next to West Ken Station. I used to walk through the depot from West Brompton to see my clients at Ashfield House in the early 90s because I could and it was interesting.
Interesting images, but music irritatingly loud and completely out of tune. Please don't feel compelled to play your old warped LPs. We can live with silent pictures in preference. By the way, some of these images are from the 1970s, as the 1938 tube stock was withdrawn from the Northern Line in 1978. They kept running g on the Bakerloo much longer.
I used to take the old districts from a ton town to ravenscourt park and back every day late 70s early eighties and I remember them testing the new stock and it arriving around that time. how antiquated the old trains look forty years on
Information message for all the comments whining about the music: you will probably find that your device is prrovided with a control enabling you to adjust or mute the volume. Why not familiarise yourself with this function and how to use it before posting yet another whining comment.
Thankyou for your comment Andrew. I have made this point. As soon as someone hears or dislikes music then go back to the start and mute. I have had in excess of 3000 views and some people seem quite happy. Whilst the choice of music might not be the best it is what I had available. Also I personally feel that some background music aids viewing - otherwise it can be somewhat tedious.
@@trolleybus654 We shouldn't have to turn this off. Common sense should tell you that nobody wants to listen to music that is both excessively loud and painfully out of tune.

I've always liked the Warsaw Concerto as well.....

Addinsell’s Warsaw Concerto, splendid! Except the LU Standard Stock wasn’t around in the 1980’s.
It was a farewell tour

AT THE START I THOUGHT I WAS WATCHING ONE OF THEM OLD BLACK AND WHITE SILENT FILMS
Does anybody know what that single Victoria line (or possibly Northern or Bakerloo) car is doing sandwiched between two 1938 motor cars forming a three car train is about ? I would be interested to know.
@SIMONWINTER-m6d There is also a shot of it sandwiched between to 1920s Standard Stock motor cars too.
@AdrianLee-ho1ds I wonder what it was about.
I reckon it's the track recording car
TRC666, as I recall
@@AndreiTupolev cheers!!
Back in the days of proper wobbly ball hanging straps, which used to dance in unison in an empty over the points.
1980s yet music from pre war. Make that go away!
It's easy to make it go away - the mute button!!
Most of this footage is from the 1970's. If there's any 80's footage, it's from right at the beginning of that decade. There's nothing here that's later than 1981.
I understand the music even though it sucks. I mute it. Hopefully if you get footage where the trains can be heard the music could be scrapped?
All these films were on silent cine films. Clearly anyone who doesn't like or want the music can mute.
Forgive the ignorance, but what were the plaques about on the ends of some of the trains?
Presumably you mean the group of lights on the front of the 1938 Tube Stock. Different combinations of lights indicated different destinations, the code only known to LT staff and a few cognoscenti passengers.
@owencarlstrand1945 no, i noticed there were some ' V' plaques on from of some
1:22 weird seeing two standard stock cars sandwiching a 67/72 stock car
1972 mk ll stock en route to Watford Junction, very rare, normally it was 1938 stock sent there.
@EM-yk1dw indeed I saw rare pics of a 72mk2 that made it up to Watford Junction before Bakerloo line was cut back to Narrow and Wealdstone
@ I actually remember riding on one to Watford Junction as a child. I think there was a technical reason why the 72s rarely went to Watford Junction.
Throughout the whole film there are trains in weird locations
@@EM-yk1dw why didn't 72mk2 stock go to Watford very often?
@ I believe it was something to do with the line voltage and also Croxley Green depot didn’t keep any spare parts for them. Perhaps someone maybe able to confirm this?
Why was the 67 stock running through Barons Court?
Not sure but there were three carriages. At West Ken I remember at odd times of day / night sometimes we had some kind of trade underground (not district line) stock going through in the direction of Barons Court.
Unless my memory is playing tricks on me I think they even could go in that direction down the 'wrong' platform...
Because it could…🤷♂️🤣
The one with the "V" on the front looks like a railtour.
@@bganonimouse2754Probably engineering trains drawn by battery locomotives going to and from Lillie Bridge depot which is next to West Ken Station. I used to walk through the depot from West Brompton to see my clients at Ashfield House in the early 90s because I could and it was interesting.

Yes definitely more 70s than 80s
And yes the music is awful......what happened to Dave Brubeck?
If I compare it with what I remember from 1984, then only 38ts, 59ts and 73ts match.
You can always just turn the sound down, which I always do
The notes explain that this was the farewell tour of the 1938 stock
@@AndreiTupolev I only spotted a farewell annotation for CO/CP and Q stock
I used to take the old districts from a ton town to ravenscourt park and back every day late 70s early eighties and I remember them testing the new stock and it arriving around that time. how antiquated the old trains look forty years on
Thanks for uploading v nostalgic for me

Ruined by the music unfortunately
I would imagine most people have a facility to switch off the music whilst viewing.
