A video from when London Underground actually cared about the drivers job, and there were better trains on the system, Steve retired a few years ago after 47 years on the job, Cliff was one of the last A stock drivers on the tour in 2012 and also since retired
47 years in one job is indeed a long time, especially these days - I only moved to the U.K. in 2002 and I’m 52 now, I only went home to Ireland from Manchester last year for my birthday
This is fascinating to me as an Irishman in Manchester, who was last on the Tube on 25th June 2002 - I’ve seen other films of the Tube and I’ve become aware that fellow Irish people have worked on the Tube, including as Drivers 🇮🇪☘️🇬🇧❤️

I remember boarding one of the last unrefurb D78s back in 2008, had so much fun playing with the strap bobble hangers
