If you claim to be the dodgy brown car guy selling second hand cars, then can we please stick to cars related topic. You are becoming like Katie Hopkins now trying to cover everything on your channel! P.s would you care to review a Datsun 🤣?
Thanks for highlighting this and the health issues. The tube is the dirtiest air in London yet Sadiq Khan is only interested in making money from the poorest motorists in London.
I can confirm this as true, a very good friend of mine spent his working life working for Balfour Beatty, who are contractors for the London Underground, so spent his life in the London Underground environment, a few years ago he was diagnosed with Asbestosis, he died early last year from the disease.
Its a nasty disease I lost my best buddy at age 42 to it, he worked in the bowels of ships in the Portsmouth dockyard wraping pipes with asbestos for insulation, I remember his house being plumbed out with pipes to carry oxygen around his home to where he sat, next to his bed and even in his bathroom. then the delivery of large bottles of oxygen to keep him breathing. if it wasnt for the lack of saftey standards back in the day he would still be here.
Good work BCG. This topic needs more exposure. If TFL and the Mayor wanted more people to switch from commuting by car to the London Underground they should have started by cleaning up the air on the Underground. They can't claim ULEZ is for the benefit of people's health and then ignore the health of those travelling by tube.
Exactly, bit of a own goal that hopefully will come back to bite him. I would just love to see that slimy toad being questioned by a parliamentary committee.
Keep pushing the evidence in the face of the politicians and toffs living in fairyland. Well done, BCG. I bought one of those meters after watching your previous post on the Underground.
Honestly you've just opened Pandoras box ! each and everyone who have ever traveled the underground should make a claim. Secondly they should shut the system down until proper investigation. Thank you once again for all your hard work
"they should shut the system down until proper investigation". This must be a very real outcome as clearly the environment down there is lethal, literally.
I worked on the London Underground nearly 20 years ago, on the refurbishment of the Earls Court tunnels - now abandoned. While we were being inducted, we were warned about disturbing the brake dust which covered everything in a lot of the underground infrastructure - the old brake linings contained asbestos (as did most brake linings at one time). The thick dust within the tunnels had a high concentration of asbestos particles. In opening up an abandoned link tunnel to one of the platforms, the dust was disturbed, and no doubt distributed through the ventilation system. Apparently this was a common occurrence across the underground network. Far more deadly than exhaust fumes, and tens of thousands of people are exposed to it every day. Sort that one out before going after motorists, Mr Mayor!
White Asbestos killed my dad, takes about 30yrs from exposure to signs of cancer. Worryingly I was exposed to it back in the 90s, my Drs know this ,so I have to have tests every year. So I m on a ticking time bomb.. And when it came out it was the wonder material. I m mid 50,s and lost dad when he was just 70s Just for sad khan, I have asthma, and work on cars all day, actually sorting out emissions from mot failures, yet it never triggers my asthma !! Yet pollen and animals do trigger it..😮
Thank you very much, I just wanted to bring it home to others just how lethal asbestosis is, and what else might be down in those underground stations ,that's been covered over. And on car emissions, as long as it passes the MOT , set by the Ministry, and the test machines are tested and pass. Then how can they be high pollution causes. Another thing, the Sad IQ , states he has adult asthma, and this " stunted lungs" So I went on the NHS site and went to asthma , it starts with this , THEY DONT KNOW WHAT CAUSES ASTHMA !! And STUNTED LUNGS is caused by malnutrition according to the health service of the UK ? So may be Grays or NHS should consider sad IQ for a new consultancy job when he gets his P45 next year !!! Lol. Keep up the fight BCG . And thanks again for your kind reply... Cheers
Well well, I think Sadist's ULEZ has come back to bite him hard! I have not used LU for the past 4 months and my Asthma has greatly improved, this is absolutely criminal and I hope that despot pays dearly!
There needs to be a independent inspection & tests done to the London underground system A.S.A.P. due to the health of all the people who use it , A full & open investigation with T.F.L. & the mayor of London having nothing to do with this in any way & them being ordered to keep away or be arrested for interference of a on going investigation . If this ever happens I would love to see the mayor's face .
You don't need a meter to know how bad air quality is in the underground. Trains are always covered in black soot, track always thick with dust and if you watch the Secrets Of The London Underground when they show you the abandoned sections of the line are always thick with the dust. Also there is a certain smell similar to that if you grind metal when you enter a tube station compared to to street level atmosphere. Surely extraction of all of these harmful emissions should be vented or filtered out of the tunnels better.
That news is disgusting-- the passengers have got to stand up now or "Die" in that filthy sewage of toxic fibers. DRAG THAT KHARN OUT he was "TOLD" its not the trafic its the underground STOP PAYING OUT FOR FILTH COMEING UP FROM BELOW, cycling is more unhealthy than the inside of the car.
I'm no train expert, but if every car and truck used asbestos friction material for brakes and clutches from the early 1900's until the 1980's, I bet the tube trains did as well. 80 years worth of it just blowing around in circles everytime a train comes along.
I'm sure you are correct. All break pads of that time used asbestos material in their linings. I expect the dust from modern break pads is not good for health either. The trains need to be modernised to use a back emf for breaking as is used in battery cars.
Asbestos was used in brake and clutch linings in new vehicles up to the year 2000 before it was fully outlawed! I have changed many sets of brakes and clutches containing asbestos from 11 years of age!!
I used to live in a sleepy little town up north and met several newcomers who had moved north from London. The one thing I noticed mote than anything else was the ashen grey complexions they all had. After a while they all started to look more well, presumably because of the relatively fresh air they hadnt had previously. Living or existing in London now myself I know when I haven't been out of town for a while because I look like crap if I don't. Ulez charges are preventing me from getting out of town for my previously weekly dose of fresh air!
if you're insured mot and tax it's your own fault for complying to utter tyranny called ulez i am carrying on as usual with non ulez vehicle, it's legally on the road and road tax is emissions based...get it. 9/10 cars ulez compliant. by their own admission ulez wasn't needed. simple tyranny oppression unless you have money to throw away daily
Stop wasting £millions money on ULEZ cameras and invest in the clean up of the London Underground and the NHS who are going to have to treat people with asbestosis
Thank you Shahzad for everything that you are doing - You speak for a lot of us - One of my neighbors died form the effects of Asbestosis - when he was a young man he worked with Asbestos ( pipe insulation) for just 3 weeks - and died from its effects at about 40 years of age.
I worked on the central line many years and was told the tunnels are riddled with Asbestos. They was paying good money to remove the ASB, this was before PPE -Personal protective equipment and the workers was wrapping scarfs around their faces. I wonder how many of them are still alive
Are we able to sue Khant and TFL for damaging our health? Surely, as he is SO CONCERNED with children's lungs he would make this a priority and dish out compensation....
Threat's to local authority workers is normal some years ago MCC threatened my father when he was not well ( severe angina) & was being threatened for not carrying out dangerous work. Received a letter stating that if he was to report the dangerous working conditions to outside health and safety he would be disciplined & sacked. I have read the letter & unfortunately know MCC this is normal.
It would be very, VERY interesting to hear what the HSE, Health & Safety Executive, have to say about the potential of this situation. They have the potential, in law, to prosecute AND to penalise up to 4% of the annual turnover of the firms found guilty. Sadly, that means there is ALWAYS the incentive to bury such reports, but ALSO to bring prosecution.
I went on the underground and found that my asthma got worse no air no health concerns by the mayor just money. It needs to be sorted well done to you Shizad. We need vents down there. I prefer to be in the outside and just be in parks
Surely Kahn and TFL owe a duty of care to it's employees. If the air within the London Underground is toxic with the same particulates that Khan says is the reason for expanding the ULEZ, surely he is breaking some sort of Health and Safety laws, this also goes for passengers as well. He cannot argue that the air down in the stations is safe to breath and has no effect on the staff and general public, when stating that the air quality and safety he commissioned Imperial College to produce in support of ULEZ says that the air found topside is toxic enough to harm peoples lungs! Someone should think about bringing a Class Action against the liar that is Sadiq Khan and let go up in front of a judge to justify the reason for letting people's lungs be damaged by the air pollutants in the LU.
Shahzad, you really do produce the most excellent and worthwhile work. Good job -you are a 🌟 I wonder if BBC and LBC would be interested in highlighting this. Not client or lazy journalism, some proper actual investigative journalism from the mainstream please.🙏🏻
This is what London's mayor should be concentrating on! But of course that wouldn't raise any revenue... this is an absolute scandal. Maybe remote vacuum trains could be invented to run at night to suck up the pm 2.5 dust. Thanks for the video and bringing it to our attention. Please send it to the news media and our socalled government so that they have to take action. Well done BCG. 👀👍
Well done for report Aka its obvious that cleaning equipment and standard provided by TFL is extremely inadequate and the health issues will no doubt bring negligence claims. So they decide to demonise cars.
They used to have a tunnel cleaning train, like a giant vacuum cleaner. I think they may have scrapped it though as it was too expensive to maintain. It was partly built in house and had 1938 stock driving cars at each end.
That rishi sunak was in Fawley refinery the other week in there happy they are building a new low sulphur diesel plant but you won't see that in the msm oh but we have to get to net zero while Fawley refinery pumps out millions of tonnes of carbon
I worked on asbestos removals (for the main contractor on L.U.), the tube platforms are practically an active hazard area killing way more londoners than 'car exhausts'.
Shahzad, thanks for all your good work and excellent reporting! Yesterday morning, I had sent a copy of this video link to the nine Conservative London Assembly members, including Susan Hall. I am sure in turn they will pass the link around as it is very important that more and more people get to know the very toxic air quality within the tube network and take measures to protect their health.
, we need to be shouting this from the rooftops.If you have respiratory issues and have been using the unground for years going to work etc. you need to suit TFL
Shahzad, can somebody set up a fund raiser for the Micky & Rib, I would like to contribute to these brave whistle blowers who have lost their jobs because of that Sadiqal Radical Khan.
The tubes pretty rank. I actually turned down job offers because they required me to catch the central line. The northern line was also one of the worst. Wipe the inside of your nose after going on the Northern Line and you will find black soot like stuff in your nose. The Elizabeth Line Is the newest and is largely overground so isn't too bad.
No critism of your excellent reporting standards but why havent these whistle blowers gone to the main stream media with this information about pollution and asbestos? There seems to be a complete disreguard and neglect for saftey standards in the higher management of the underground railways. The public could then make an informed decision on wether they want to run the risk of exposure to it.
It is well documented that asbestos was used in the construction of the tube trains themselves. Asbestos products were used in the mechanical elements such as brakes and electrics. In addition, early tube trains were lined within the compartments to the walls, ceilings, and floors. A personal note I remember in the past I was doing a brake job on my car and phoned my dad to ask why my brake disks had suddenly worn badly as they were fine the year before, he said in 3 years he had burned through 2 sets of front disks and asked the dealership, the reply was as Asbestos had been removed from pads they had to replace it with something else and that was eating the disks.
Keep up the good work. The criminal negligence deserves exposure. If my mother were responsible for cleaning the tube, the particulate levels would be undetectable. 😅 Positive ventilation at the stations with relief vents between stations should clean the air for passengers.
Fantastic video it’s about time this government and future governments stopped trying to make money out of the poorest people and started spending it on them to protect their health and life this report will get smothered by those in power be very surprised if they let this out well done sir keep up the fight for those that can’t or won’t shout out about the real issues all the best
Brilliant detectoring there- I hope someone in City Hall watches this. FYI, a friend told me over 40 years ago, back when the UK still built its own trains, that the brake pads on the passenger carriages were made from, or lined with asbestos (I wasn't paying sufficient attention at that time); then he invited me to guess where the ventilation vents for the carriages were situated? I really hope that design isn't still in existence today...
Now we need to serve Khan with a notice of liability.....where are all you natural law and contract law guys? We need remedy!.....Thanks for keeping across this Brown Car Guy! Also don't let us forget the big related issue of oncoming road pricing which is going to make private travel an even more difficult and expensive enterprise than ever before.....
They actually use magnetic vacuum cleaners, I saw this on a TV report once. They appeared to work, but at the same time, kicked up a lost more dust too.
keep up the good work. report your findings to all unions. Any responsible organisations who can take legal action against the Mayor for toxic asbestos and willful danger knowingly to the public.
Make this more public. And TfL should reimburse all of us who are now paying this hypocritical ULEZ charges. At Kings Cross St. Pancras you can sometimes smell the metal in the air. Send it to all the GLA members.
Sadi Khan will try and worm his way out of it by saying it's the buildup of traffic on the roads and you need to give him £12.50 to help the Underground tube system to be more less polluted🙄??
Nothing is said about how dangerous the underground railway system really is, it's full of toxic fumes and it's full of some toxic dangerous people, you are safer in your car by far, Sadik Kahn should volunteer to travel on it for a year
It's about time this was exposed and shown just how toxic the underground stations really are
shut it down
If you claim to be the dodgy brown car guy selling second hand cars, then can we please stick to cars related topic.
You are becoming like Katie Hopkins now trying to cover everything on your channel!

Basicly breathing in brake dust, why don’t they sort this issue out in London if they really care about individuals.
@@andrewdrew677 because they care about money not pey.
TFL might receive many law suits from infected people.

YEAH how many of the 2.8m passengers a day are KIDS?
@@coconutBarnes Count the number of kids with "lung conditions" and you will probably get something close to that number....
Keep pushing the evidence in the face of the politicians and toffs living in fairyland. Well done, BCG. I bought one of those meters after watching your previous post on the Underground.
The politicians and toffs don't watch this and don't care.
London underground users should take out a Class action Law suit against Tfl sadiq khan for excessive pollution levels 👍👍
London has had other Mayors that ignored pollution all together
Honestly you've just opened Pandoras box ! each and everyone who have ever traveled the underground should make a claim. Secondly they should shut the system down until proper investigation. Thank you once again for all your hard work
"they should shut the system down until proper investigation". This must be a very real outcome as clearly the environment down there is lethal, literally.
HOW MANY children's health are being put at risk because of deadly contaminants on the UNDERGROUND?
This is the real statistic we need to know. I bet the children travelling to school on the underground are getting ruined.
it's clearly written on the mayors face@@EveryoneneedsaGary
A disgusting and disgraceful situation but well done you and the whistleblowers for highlighting it.🐻🐒🤗👍

Let's face the reality: The London Underground system is a public health hazard....
A first rate and detailed account of the dangerously worrying air quality in the London tube system.
You don't need a meter to know how bad air quality is in the underground. Trains are always covered in black soot, track always thick with dust and if you watch the Secrets Of The London Underground when they show you the abandoned sections of the line are always thick with the dust.

Get this going viral
Well done again BCG. Keep up the good work. One day, the government might heed your reports. But somehow, I cannot see that happening.
The govt are not at all bothered, they just look for ways to take more money.
I remember as a child spending a day in London. Blowing my nose at the end of the day produced black snot - we used the underground a lot that day.
Surely Kahn and TFL owe a duty of care to it's employees.
If the air within the London Underground is toxic with the same particulates that Khan says is the reason for expanding the ULEZ, surely he is breaking some sort of Health and Safety laws, this also goes for passengers as well.

Yes but the judge would be on Khan's side because this is not a democracy!
Brave whitleblowers huge respect.
Remember, those ventilation system shafts pump out at street level
that suits mps fine as they'll just visit ormando st hospital more often than other celebrities love to

Please send it to the news media and our socalled government so that they have to take action. Well done BCG. 👀👍
Well done for report Aka its obvious that cleaning equipment and standard provided by TFL is extremely inadequate and the health issues will no doubt bring negligence claims. So they decide to demonise cars.
This is the whole reason the Mayor wants us on the underground 😡
yeh and see the official secrets release about usa allowed to test bio weapons on UK residents. all paints a certain picture doesn't it
You should look up the history of the fluffers of the underground tunnels, 80s & 90s Jamaican women.
And to rub it in, the Home Office makes it as difficult as possible for them to be given uk citizenship. 😢
And the media don't want to talk about this on the news....
They have to do a Risk assessment by law and they have to show it to their insurance . If not they are personally responsible and liable .
Great work my friend. These findings need to be published far and wide.
I don't have Facebook.... but I now know because you posted it on UA-cam.... cheers 🎉
They used to have a tunnel cleaning train, like a giant vacuum cleaner. I think they may have scrapped it though as it was too expensive to maintain. It was partly built in house and had 1938 stock driving cars at each end.

Its all about the money money money not health or the climate etc My BS filters is officially broken lol.Keep up the excellent work Brown Car Guy xx
Great point at the end mate! LU is what is creating health problems rather then road users
It's an absolute scandal please everyone share let the public become aware.
They have to have a Asbestos folder on site for all workers before they start work and they have to be told.
I worked on asbestos removals (for the main contractor on L.U.), the tube platforms are practically an active hazard area killing way more londoners than 'car exhausts'.

, we need to be shouting this from the rooftops.If you have respiratory issues and have been using the unground for years going to work etc. you need to suit TFL
My results from the same air monitor in Bournemouth almost always records a zero HEALTHY reading!
It's no surprise - you sneeze black/grey after a day in London and an hour or so in the underground. Always been this way.
Sadiq Khan and TFL managers should be arrested for keeping it quiet🥺👎
It's bigger than that. it's like saying lets arrest dianas moorderers. will it happen ?
Very eye-opening video. I hope this gets around and proper measures are taken to improve this problem.
Everyone needs to thumbs up this vidoe to get the message out
Shahzad, can somebody set up a fund raiser for the Micky & Rib, I would like to contribute to these brave whistle blowers who have lost their jobs because of that Sadiqal Radical Khan.
Good idea. Reach out to Howard Cox regarding this.👍🏽
Good work Mr Sheikh. We appreciate you.

Wipe the inside of your nose after going on the Northern Line and you will find black soot like stuff in your nose. The Elizabeth Line Is the newest and is largely overground so isn't too bad.
Even underground the platforms are sealed by platform screen doors so shouldn’t have dirty air.
Keep up the good work! 👍
Believe it or not, but the ladies who used to clean tube tunnels were called “Fluffers” (honestly).
Well done BCG
Great job as always 👍 Howard coxs = GB news
Well done BCG. Good job.
Surprise surprise
Brilliant reporting and explanations
Thank you BCG
Well done BCG, I've followed your you tube, great work.
Hanx Shahzad, appreciated by many.
Wonderful that you are exposing this 🙏
Wow, very disturbing stuff TFL must be held to account over this what is the health and safety executive doing about this?
Doing nothing all so called regulators are in the lobbies rear pocket. didn't you know ?
No critism of your excellent reporting standards but why havent these whistle blowers gone to the main stream media with this information about pollution and asbestos? There seems to be a complete disreguard and neglect for saftey standards in the higher management of the underground railways.

A personal note I remember in the past I was doing a brake job on my car and phoned my dad to ask why my brake disks had suddenly worn badly as they were fine the year before, he said in 3 years he had burned through 2 sets of front disks and asked the dealership, the reply was as Asbestos had been removed from pads they had to replace it with something else and that was eating the disks.
Keep up the good work. The criminal negligence deserves exposure.
If my mother were responsible for cleaning the tube, the particulate levels would be undetectable. 😅
Positive ventilation at the stations with relief vents between stations should clean the air for passengers.
Fantastic video it’s about time this government and future governments stopped trying to make money out of the poorest people and started spending it on them to protect their health and life this report will get smothered by those in power be very surprised if they let this out well done sir keep up the fight for those that can’t or won’t shout out about the real issues all the best
Brilliant detectoring there- I hope someone in City Hall watches this. FYI, a friend told me over 40 years ago, back when the UK still built its own trains, that the brake pads on the passenger carriages were made from, or lined with asbestos (I wasn't paying sufficient attention at that time); then he invited me to guess where the ventilation vents for the carriages were situated? I really hope that design isn't still in existence today...
If air the quality was assessed properly and professionally they would close down the London Underground!
I guess we shouldn't be shocked that such an old and (as is nearly always the case now) investment-starved underground system is so literally toxic.
Now we need to serve Khan with a notice of liability.....where are all you natural law and contract law guys? We need remedy!.....Thanks for keeping across this Brown Car Guy!
Also don't let us forget the big related issue of oncoming road pricing which is going to make private travel an even more difficult and expensive enterprise than ever before.....
So the motorist is paying the underground’s carbon footprint offset? What a joke.
Good Evening. Great Video. Was a good day at car show, hope you had a great day. It was nice meeting you !
Thanks, you too!
I saw mentioned somewhere that magnetic particle filters could be fitted to the ventilation systems.
They actually use magnetic vacuum cleaners, I saw this on a TV report once. They appeared to work, but at the same time, kicked up a lost more dust too.
keep up the good work. report your findings to all unions. Any responsible organisations who can take legal action against the Mayor for toxic asbestos and willful danger knowingly to the public.
Make this more public. And TfL should reimburse all of us who are now paying this hypocritical ULEZ charges. At Kings Cross St. Pancras you can sometimes smell the metal in the air. Send it to all the GLA members.
Sadi Khan will try and worm his way out of it by saying it's the buildup of traffic on the roads and you need to give him £12.50 to help the Underground tube system to be more less polluted🙄??
Khan should spend his whole day on the tube so he can check it is safe to ride on as he would not want to put commuters in danger.
Shut down the tube so we will need to use our cars again 😂
Nothing is said about how dangerous the underground railway system really is, it's full of toxic fumes and it's full of some toxic dangerous people, you are safer in your car by far, Sadik Kahn should volunteer to travel on it for a year
This is the real smoking gun about TFL and air quality 👀 keep banging the drum 👍
IT'S ALL DOWN TO CLEANING THE TUNNELS, IF THERE'S NO DIRT THERE'S NO CONTAMINATION OF THE AIR. Probably doesn't want to spend the money.
There were special vacuum-cleaner trains, one by one withdrawn as they were not being maintained. Told about this in '80.
Khan has now said the underground is not fit for purpose. It's as if he just does not want people to travel. London is overheating apparently.
Well done shieky great work khan yet again
Big fan, keep up the good work!!
It would be interesting to see the readings on the newer section of the Jubilee line where there are platform doors.
Good job brother 👍🏽
