The Tube of the Future London Train FULL
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 жов 2013
- A futuristic train that could on day become the future of underground rail travel has been unveiled.
A full-size concept model of Inspiro - a driverless train that is more energy efficient than current models in use with more creature comforts for commuters, will go on show at an exhibition in London.
Siemens, the company behind the concept, has hinted that next generation Tube trains like Inspiro, which costs a whopping £1million a carriage, could be built in Britain if the mayor placed an order for the new trains.
A driverless train will always be less secure than a train with a driver.
We had an ICE hitting a tree that fell onto the tracks, and the only thing that prevented a major disaster was that the driver noticed a fluctuation in the overhead line voltage, and interpeted it right as a tree that fell onto the tracks and went into full emergency brake application.
Thanks to that, the ICE hit the tree at 60 kph instead of a 180 kph and suffering only minor damage, and not de-railing as it would've happened otherwise, which would've led to a lot of casualties.
It was a stormy night, and given the distance an ICE needs to come to a full stop, the line voltage fluctuation was the only indication, that something was wrong.
The driver was experienced, and able to make the connection between a tree hitting the overhead wires by falling onto the tracks, and the line voltage fluctuation.
A computer can't do that.
When a driver fucks up, you'll hear about that, but if a driver's actions save the day, you'll never hear about that.
Thanks mainstream media, for not doing your job.
excellent information and very true. Greed is driven by profits and getting the job done by as few of people as possible.
And someone falling on the tracks
Problem with your logic: actually, a computer can do that, it just wasn’t told to. A computer can notice the fluctuations, and matter of fact, can instantly calculate the necessary size of an object to cause the exact drain on the line that currently is. As such, it can calculate where the obstruction likely is, and what is necessary to be done.
The computer simply wasn’t created with that in mind, but that is more a fault of the humans who created it than an inherent safety in using a driver instead of a human.
That's a high speed mainline train, not a Tube train that'll do 100kph max. The design is also that of a deep level tube, where that majority of the line is underground, so trees on tracks won't be an issue
@@M1CAE1. "The majority" - most deep level trains still have surface stations, and that's where the issues would be.
That has to be the ugliest thing on wheels I have ever seen. Both interior and exterior look like hell. It makes the modern NYC subway cars look incredibly beautiful. I like the old trains, At least they had some style and class.
Obviously lol this concept design, i'm not sure if that is actually going to be our new tfl train officially but the inside of the train is not as disgusting and dirty as the one we have now in london city, i remember i go into my local station finsbury park station the air in there is horrible, inside the train is even worse humid as fuck interior design of present day tfl trains are outdated so it needs the upgrade regardless.
***** lmao, you know that london tfl trains of present day are shit compared to this concept tfl london train.
Modern trains are shit, just like another foreign built POO TUBE on wheels!
***** Michael, they don't 'say' anything.

The interior is brilliant, exterior not so much. Whats this rush to make all trains look like characterless blocks??? trains are supposed to be at least a little bit charming :/
lookes like a can of coke plus it is scrapped so it will never be a thing in london because of one siemnes worker saying it looks like a can of coke
"How did you get to work today?" Oh I took the can of cola
It looks like a battery or flashlight with wheels
Terrence Linder yay
Yeah, Exactly. I wondered if there was a bump on the other side for the positive terminal :-) but, no.

I actually dig this futuristic design, this is the future you know. Vehicles are becoming more advanced.

A face only a mother... train... could love!

Every other country: We gotta make it aerodynamic.
Uk: Coke can!
There is no difference with today's tube ... except that this one is new and clean !

looks good exept the fornt
1:14 ... just watch it over and over again.
"real-time journey information" so that's how they call ads nowadays
That would be the train I would never in my life travel on, ever.
Mhm
They should paint a happy smiley Thomas the Tank engine face on the front so when the train turns up late or is full up during the rush hour and no passengers can get on, commuters will forgive because it's the Thomas the Tank engine and you can't get mad or angry at Thomas the Tank engine, he's a nice guy.
The most recent modern railway magazine (November) Says it's a driverless train. SO it can't be great for the economy.
I take it disguised in the front ends of the train is a door to evacuate the train if it stops in the tunnel.
That has to be THE ugliest front end (and rear end) design for a train I have EVER seen. I love the interior displays and LED lights. As for the "open plan" design - newer stock already have such a design and layout in place, so that's not exactly futuristic.
David Struve c-
David Struve Germany has the open plan interior for many years, so does Spain.
The technology has existed in advanced countries like Japan and Thailand for years.
I agree! Imagine how that would look on a surface section! Imagine that high in an embankment say on the Piccadilly line heading out beyond Rayners Lane! SCARRRRY! 😱
Apparently it's also REALLY quiet!
hahahahahahahahhahahahaha
It really does look like a tube now!
Is it supposed to look like a soda can?
The Glasgow subway trains are worse... Trust me
Nice design, the front and back resembles the London Underground logo.

I think the design looks great.
People hated the design of the Gherkin at first, now it's loved...
Looks like a battery with wheels. Who would approve on this?
Looks cool!
Never been to the UK, but I'm certain those trains would do great down there! :D
You'd very quickly change your mind.. xD The tubes are hellish.. No common courtesy, constant delays, tourists getting off and just stopping as soon as their feet hit the platform, causing MORE delays.. And that's not even at rush hour!
Chaosarchy I don't even know what the bloody hell you're on about.
The tube looks cute.
***** Ahh sorry, misread " those trains would do great down there!" as thinking the tubes would be great, not the train itself.. :p It's just that many many people think the tubes are going to be fun, until they actually try to use them.. haha
Chaosarchy The tunnels must be really small if the trains already have to be that shape
@@RoseSupreme This design was scrapped because one of the siemens workers said "It looks like a coke can to me"
Correction: Energy saving never looked like a gigantic moving condom!
Not sure about the shape of the front of this design but the interior looks very sleek.
#londonunderground #tube #design
The Transformers have become a giant earthworm
The only complaint I have about this train is the front. It looks so bloody bizarre! On the positive side the rest of the train the exterior looks pretty slick.
I had a look on board a "replica" of 1 of them at an exhibition a couple of months ago. I asked a member of exhibition staff why the train had a cab, if it's supposed to be driverless. He admitted he didn't know!
My guess is that the trains need a way of manual control during emergencies or unusual situations. Or it could just be a way to reassure passengers that there's always a way to take manual control away from the computer, just in case. We don't want HAL or GLaDOS driving the train we're on, right?
Man that is one ugly front end!! Hard to believe that was the best design candidate. Reminds me of a vacuum cleaner.
No it must its ass
Aidans trains it won’t happen
Oh thank you god no honestly thanks oh yes it would ruin London
Nice design. I like things that look modern, and the train design is indeed streamlined. This may have been the inspiration for the most recent upgrade, which I saw online on a different video. I'm not from London--in fact, I'm from the US--but I enjoy train rides and I would love to take a ride on that. The air conditioning was a great idea too. I was in New York once and the trains were a bit warm. Maybe this design will inspire a new system there too. I know some people have made negative comments about your design but I think it's cool. I'd like to point out to those people that this is probably just a prototype and will possibly be improved.
🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢 Nazi
A320 Cockpit: Am I a joke to you?
Nice and quiet, I like it.
The reason it was quiet was because THERE WAS NO SOUND ON THE VIDEO.
It lloks like a fucking coke can
I wonder if Siemens deliberately made the windows small to increase stiffness while making it lighter, or if it's just a design feature that will stay. The negatives of this are people's experiences on the tube train. Reduced natural light and views out coupled with the powerful daylight like led would make travelling on it very uncomfortable, and make travelling on the outside sections feel just like travelling underground. I would replace the driver with a guard at a lower wage to pass on the savings to customers. The underground as an institution is brilliant and unique, as a transport provider, it's appalling. Poorly managed, funded, expensive tickets, poor reputation etc. London underground needs a major overhaul! Better trains would be a start, however, this Siemens train is only a small step in the right direction. Also not a fan of the cab design.
The ends of the train look really weird.
They also need VX gas dispensers in order to depopulate London a bit, because that shit is overcrowded as fuck.
And the designer of this train probably never heard of the term "air resistance".
looks like a massive red , white and blue sausage flying in the tunnel
If the front of the train would look like tube logo That would be kinda cool!
it is scrapped
when you mix a train with Coke & batteries you get this
Will the huge flat surface not cause a vortex ?
However the REAL new trains look so much better..
(Talking about the S-stock)
Gaming UA-camr the s stock is for the SSR these would be deep level tube trains
Yeah but they look ugly and nothing like the SSR trains D:
Gaming UA-camr This is not a modle of the s stock this is whats comming to the piccadilly bakerloo and Waterloo and city line
I hope not the Piccadilly line..
I don't want to have to look at this ugly twist of metal whenever I go home on the Uxbridge branch on the Met line which has a modern design that actually fits the millennium.
So aerodynamic....
I certainly take back everything I've ever said about the Borismaster, that's a thing of beauty by comparison.
lookes like a can of coke plus it is scrapped so it will never be a thing in london because of one siemnes worker saying it looks like a can of coke
I could make a miniature replica of this train using a cardboard tube from a paper towel roll.
An estimated half a million mice live in the Underground system.
2020 and still 1972 stocks on the bakerloo line
The front has a round face like Thomas The Tank Engine.. They forgot to include the eyes nose and smiley face when designing the front carriage :(
looks really nice
it lookes like a can of coke plus it is scrapped so it will never be a thing in london because of one siemnes worker saying it looks like a can of coke
Iconic is right... it looks like a soda can with wheels. Also, this looks like it was a power point done in 5 minutes.
Looks fine to me... You saying current one are better?
How about Onboard wifi?
É apenas mais um trem futurista!
cool
lookes like a can of coke plus it is scrapped so it will never be a thing in london because of one siemnes worker saying it looks like a can of coke
The front of train made me think of something else, they should rework, the rest is great. The nickname of the subway, the "tube" is valued.
I actually like this design
It looks like a medicine box
Davin Crawford it looks good
+FrankiePlays The one on the Official UA-cam account (Transport For London) looks way beter.
JamoiConcept thanks ill look
what do you think?
the new Subwoofer train
I personally prefer the 38 's 72/3 stock these were the real tube trains for me anyway!
I guess it's really coming up for it's name Tube now.
Change the front of the train and all will be good
I really like this coke cans design.
ikr
Not bad, but should be a British company making it.
Looks exactly like the current tubes...except the ugly front!
The new tube for London on the TFL UA-cam channel looks way better
Why have I got this sudden urge to drink a can of diet coke?
Here in Brazil, Siemens was involved in a corruption scandal. It was way over the purchase of trains in São Paulo.
It looks like a giant OB:)
It almost look the same as current ones!
Darius Cyrus Yeah I think the design is a bit outdated now. I notice with the newest tfl trains they seem to have shifted away from using just white plastic
How is it more efficient if it has a flat front?
Looks like a modernized steam train just without the steam, guess its not a steam train then?
it runs on electrickery (as my long departed grandmother called it ) which is generated in steam turbines so therefore it is indirectly steam powered
I love the pictures / videos of the O-ended New Tube for London trains - looks more futuristic and plus it makes the train look like an actual tube 😀👍!
is that the *HYPERLOOP* but *Londonised*
Siemens Inspiro?
Here's a thought, why not design and build trains and carriages for British Railwayls and Underground systems IN Britain?
I like this very much !🤩

@@ctra1ns HA ok it does pretty much 😂 glad that they did scrap it
@@Rowan_wallace have a look at the 2024 stock, it looks much better
I hear there's going to be a red and black and white single seat car version called the UA-cam.
are those new underground trains being built now? which company are they being built by and when will they enter service?
needs a kfc on board each train
And subway
Reminds me of the tunneling vehicle in that movie The Core.
0:34 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Speedbird hyyyy
Was this uploaded on April fools day? Good joke Siemens
What funny about???
Iconic
Doesn't have the 'turby tube' front which I always liked about the tube trains. Unless these ones are 'driverless' trains. As I notice with this design the driver can't see out of the side. There maybe some continuation with previous train designs, such as the 'brat style' doors and windows which were caused due to the curvature of these Tube trains so they could fit the tunnels.
Nice...
no hate on this but my favourite form of transport has to be the tube the old ones always had a awesome sounding motor and just a masterpiece of london that should never be changed. god damn 21st century and i was born in 21st century but every thing is just being changed into "futeristic" stuff but i will be very sad if they do get new underground tubes. i think it will spoil london.
+Jackfeast Games The present is not sustainable. We need to adapt faster even if it means leaving romantic concepts behind
Should've employed the services of Dr Who. He can make things bigger, on the inside. No more being thrust face first into some sweaty businessman.
Why did this video go all the way down to 240p?
When will Piccadilly line get some decent tube trains to replace the current 42 year old trains (known as 1973 stock, but enetered service from around 1975)
I like it, but will it have AC and proper ventilation? :D
Dat tail light at the end tho...
It looks much worse then s stock and it is much worse 'iconic' every single tube train until this one has been iconic
It's a quiet hair dryer!
I like the Old ones, This new design doesn't seem good.
I agreed with you, mate! 😕
That's awesome!
That is the ugliest thing i have ever seen on rails !!!!!!
You've never seena BR Class 460 then!
Edit - Or a pacer!
new tube for London won over this
I think siemens should consider better braking systems. All the trains i know that are made by siemens have at least some braking issues.
Some commentary would have been welcome. Who designed this video? To put white text on a white background defeats the purpose of the text. Get a grip, whoever you are.

The interior looks amazing and everything, but the front... is just horrible! The only reason I can think of for making a front like this is to have windows at the front for passengers (assuming there would be no drivers) but even then, they should consider improving it...
***** They hope the front will give the trains an international image, like the buses and taxis, by adding the iconic roundel at the front. That's what the designer said at a talk to my DT class.
+Alex “Thegametastic1” Jones But it is retardedly inefficent
+KasabianFan44 - Am I the only one who noticed that the front of the train looks like the London-Underground logo?
Yosen B. Mamma That's what the roundel is.
I like it
*7 Years Ago*
it looks like something else but... is cool XD
front of train needs to be narrow
Stop the ranting. This is clearly a prototype and is not final. I wonder why nobody likes this modern style, and then I'm like, "Oh, it's a prototype, it won't really look like this." I personally tend to gravitate toward simple, modern designs, but not everyone will agree. Let people have their personal opinions and you can have your own. It really doesn't require ranting and cussing. People will have diverse opinions and that is totally normal.
