“The jubilee line is the only line that connects to all others”
Bakerloo, Central, and Northern: am I a joke to you?
Bakerloo-Baker St and Waterloo, Central-Bond St and Stratford, Northern-Waterloo and London Bridge
He means that those lines connect to every single other one, and that those 3 lines were just ignored
I know you meant that the Waterloo and City Line is the only line that is always under ground level, but they do see the light of day
What about Victoria Line?
@@SillyFisch Northumberland depot
You can actually see a small amount of daylight from the boarding platform on the Waterloo & City Line at Waterloo, in the vicinity of the depot, where it's usual to see a train waiting to enter the platform, having moved there to reverse from the alighting side.
@@ianmcclavin yup
And the Victoria line is manly underground drives only see day light when there going to the depot and FUN FACT: Victoria line is automatically driven
I think epping is my closest station, its a bit hard to know when you live in Yorkshire
How to spoil a video about the Underground. Read it in an American accent, instead of Cockney or Recieved Pronunciation.
As long as the info is accurate, it's a good video.
Womp womp
Fairs
St John’s Wood is the only station without any letters in the word ‘mackerel’ in it
its pronounced as holburn not holborn
I've heard Inspector Sands before at a station!
Everyone says he's pretty hot.
District Line or Piccadilly
VERY COOL
with the quitest tube station one i saw the train departure board saying ealing broadway which is the end of the central line and serves 2 other lines then i watched and found out roding valley is the quitest then i looked at my map AND ITS ON THE CENTRAL LINE
I wonder why the 20th April is the busiest day for the
Tube... 🍃
actually the W&C does see light, when it's under that grille thing light comes down inside the depot. they don't go overground though
The local authorities are obsessed with vehicle emissions around London, but literally every time i take the underground, I come out blowing black, sooty snot from my nose (sorry, I couldn't think of a less gross way to say that! 👃🏾 )
Did you know at Hammersmith or Osterley there it say Piccadilly line train go to Aldwych on peak times
Inspector Sands is the worst kept secret message ever! Only ever heard it once personally though.
I heard it at Edgewhere Road. A few min's before they announced the Queen passing.
What about West Ham that is a football club in London
I use northern line more often
it's not the toob!
It's da toob, ya putz! Ay! I'm tappin' in over here!
I ❤ Victoria
Line
4:36 what about mill hill east
Hello, i'm here to ask if anyone knows the name of the first song used in this video. Btw, cool facts!
It's called Crosswalk Bounce

I'm from a beautiful little village and community on the Shropshire/Powys border. I had to go to London for some work based training..never been happier to get back to civilisation. So grateful that my home is still pretty much as it was 70 years ago! The underground was hellish, people have no manners, it's like jumping on a slum train in the third world. Are we supposed to pretend that it's normal that 90% of the passengers don't or dont feel the need to speak English? I probably had one other native Brit on my carriage and she was a drunk as a skunk Brummie saying she was on a 'Leo Sayer' (all dayer).. absoluty hideous.
Unfortunately these days London is a hellhole
What about West Ham station???
West ham is also named after a club.
No the area is called west ham, it's not named after the stadium
No it isn't. The nearest station to West Ham United 's old Boleyn Ground used to be Upton Park, two stations away from West Ham, and the current nearest station to their present ground, the former Olympic Stadium, is Stratford.
Also, the Arsenal station is NOT named after the football club - It's named after the Arsenal Munitions factory at Woolwich. That's why the team's nickname is The Gunners.
That's Woolwich Arsenal. The actual Arsenal Station on Piccadilly line was renamed specifically after the club moved to that area.
wait what, you're telling me the incident on the 3rd of may morning at baker street and the smoke from the overhead lighting are related?
Go
Nothing new for Geoff Marshall followers ;)
This not all true
I use the northern line and my train station (northern line) is very busy
Street dust
2:52 thats london bridge.
the northern also connects with all tube lines so ur wrong
Yes, unless they are including the other modes in that, as the Jubilee also connects with the cable car
@@TaylaHolland u forgot that tram exists
Every single tube line except Waterloo and City, District and Metropolitan connects with every other tube line
@TaylaHolland Cable car doesnt count because it doesn't connect with anything
@@___-000 The District Line and Metropolitan Line don't connect to each other
I don’t how often the tube gets a clean but in some places it’s not very pleasant. The Elizabeth line is a step forward with the platforms being gated as it were, it could reduce the amount of dust being absorbed by the passengers. I know every station is unique and it would be very difficult to make every station like that but it might be a good place to start. Also there’s a good number of stations that are outside as it were so they are probably not so badly affected.
I changed trains recently from the Victoria Line to the Overground at Blackhorse Road. The latter is in the open air, so no problem there, but I noticed the Victoria Line platforms there being a lot hotter there than they were in the 70's and 80's.
