4:27 "This section was entirely new when it was built" is a great quote indeed. Very informative, thanks 😂
"I was born at a very young age."
You could do an entire channel dedicated to the architecture of the London Underground
As an architecture nerd, I would love more videos like this. Starting with a Jubilee Line part 2. You gave a lot of time to the old section and then just gave the whole new extension a cursory mention at the end, when I would argue it is one of the most significant things to happen to the Underground in the last 25 years. You could honestly fill a whole episode for each station as there are some really great examples of modern architecture here, but a part 2 to cover Westminster to Stratford would be an OK consolation I suppose.
Never noticed before that Willesden Green is right out of the Farringdon design book. Fond memories of growing up in Wembley in the 1960s - waving to drivers when we stood on the Barn Hill footbridge over the Bakerloo line. Don't think they ever waved back.
Positively perfect in every way . Thank you
que fashionable!
Yet another masterpiece from the master.
Every thought for other videos here sounds highly desirable. Architectural tours of each line. Tours of each station (already ongoing). And everything in-between (signalling, trains, etc.)
It would be of interest!
"this train terminates at stanmore" is arguably the thing I most associate with the jubilee line.
Yep, interested in seeing more videos like this! Thanks Jago!
Was travelling a lot Jubilee line in the past. From Stanmore to the city centre. And now I know the whole story behind those stations.
Nice video! I have fond memories of growing up in the Wembley Park area and taking the Jubilee Line to meet my girlfriend (now wife) at Stanmore, where she lived.
I must be old, because I still remember when the trains terminated at Charing Cross.
It’s all fun and games until you get to Westminster
Its all squeals and bangs until you get to Westminster
It's old and rusty until you get to Westminster
A really good round up of LU architecture . I think we should remember that Charles Holden, as a an employee of London Transport was also trying to cut costs where he could. Simple clean buildings designed to do a job with just the right amount of flair was very cost effective as well as beautiful to look at.
Your last point about the architecture reflecting the view of the period is spot on. The JLE shows the underground as a working machine keeping the city moving, not a country house we hope the neighbours won't complain about.
The chimera of architectural style is always exciting to learn about.
Another great Jago video!
I enjoyed seeing History by tube. More please.
I really enjoyed this one. 'Superceded by cars? What were they thinking of?'
They were thinking about cars.😛😜
Vested interests, mostly.
Oh Jago, Loved this one. When I saw Kingsbury I just had to view as I grew up in Kingsbury , went to school in Kenton, lived in Kenton. It touched my heart. It brought back a flood of memories. Thank you.
marvellous! another line please.
The new bits have a certain feeling looking at how London was actually constructed. Huge steel beams and concrete with the tube line threading its way through and behind the wainscotting. Its as if you've broken through the earthy surface to the Magaretheran structure below. You become the hi-tech rats of the modern London.
Love the cut through diagram of Baker Street: takes me back to my well thumbed Thunderbirds annuals which had amazing cut throughs of all the craft, Tracy Island and anything else they could think of.
Another short but very sharp essay on a part of the network with which I feel a deep historical connection; many thanks. 👍
More of the same? YES PLEASE!
Does anyone remember the old Ticket office at Kingsbury Station and the old Maroon tubes, opposite was the old Arcade and the Record shop Record Parlour, id get my Stranglers Records from there, thanks for a super upload, Best wishes to Jago, loved ones and fellow viewers.
Please carry on with Tube architecture videos, Jago. Very interesting to us.
Thank you for an excellent video. I would definitely like to see more on the subject of architecture / design and railways. Great idea!
Loved this, would definitely be interested in a series covering architectural styles along other lines
I’m very glad there was adequate funding for the JLE, some of my favourite architectural style on the whole system is the contemporary brutalism it has.
" This section was entirely new when built.... " yeah?
Do do more of these, Jago - just about every tube line, (if not Underground, per se) is an essay in social history, even if that essay is broadly similar.
I have a fond memory of Stanmore - I worked for a guy there and walked out once day and got the tube home, never to return.!
Jago, I really like your accent and style of presentation! Lovely!
Definitely keen for more!
@3:10, '... in and out as quickly as possible ...'. Not with my creaking knees. @3:39, I love the 30s design that Charles Holden did. Too bad that these structures are not being maintained. @4:09, that reminds me of Great Portland Street station. I like your style, Jago, and more please.
You should 100% do this on other lines. Fantastic!
That was good! Thank you.
I’m curious about the Jubilee line so thanks Jago!
i liked the vertical train shot
Fine video JH 👍👌
great vid!
4:57- that tile looks a lot like Crystal Palace.
jubilee line passengers when they go from green park to bond street: 👂 💥💥💥
0:45 The Metropolitan Railway channelling it's inner Marlon Brando
Chirpy-o Jag-o
Another interesting view of London.
Total aside - someone I know was nearly responsible for naming "Canary Wharf" as "Cannery Wharf", until someone else I know noticed the "error".......
I remember when the platforms at Bond Street looked like a rifle barrel.
Excelent episode Jago! Can you do another specifically on the jubilee line extension section? That will complete it beautifully!
other lines please do,
Talking of stations (and I'm going a little odd-piste here) one which I regularly find myself passing through and occasionally using is Stratford International. Here I find we run out of architectural style descriptors. 'Brutalist' doesn't seem quite sufficient, so I'm going to allow myself the liberty of coining a new term - 'bleakism'. Stratford International is thereby the prototype bleakist station.
It's a sunken box.
Thank goodness they haven't "refreshed" all the interiors.
Did the stations harmonise with the rolling stock ? The Baker Street To Charing Cross section colours and metalwork remind me of the single leaf door carriages with the LTE Orange Brown seats (also on D Stock and M and T class buses )
04:28 I am willing to bet that all sections were entirely new when they were built.
Rebuilding is a different matter ....
I can't believe you skipped kilburn
Northern line next?!
Was the Jubilee Line Extension the first major tube line extension for a long time? Because I remember it being big news
The Jubilee Line Extension was the first new tube track to open since the extension of the Piccadilly line to Heathrow Terminal 4 in 1986. Before that, we have to go back to the Baker St to Charing Cross section of the Jubilee line (April 1979) and the Piccadilly extension to Heathrow Central (December 1977).
@@Tevildo And in the late 1980s was also the DLR the first of its kind in London
Kingsbury is uhh, something..
Yass🎉
JUBILEE LINE NO1 BEST FUNBY TRAIN SOUND WITH BEST FUNNY ARCHITECTURE !!!
Do people in the Stanmore area get confused and try to get on the tube through houses that are built in the same country cottage style as the station?
Yes sometimes we do, especially if we've been partaking in things and listening to Pink Floyd.

Not first 😂😅
I was first but YT doesn't let me comment. I have to try and add to other people's before I can comment.
I am also not first. Just thought you would all like to know.
IMHO most of the stations on the Jubilee Line Extrension are awful. Vast expanses of dirty bare concrete and sections of exposed tunnel segments stained with water ingress. It gives them an unfinished look, as if they were done on the cheap. Which they were not as the project went £6 billion over budget.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder I guess. I think they're fantastic. I'll admit some of them are looking a bit dirty now though. When it was new they looked like something out of Star Wars (one of them even ended up IN Star Wars), but they could do with a clean up, for sure.
