TfL Rail - Bonus Video
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 жов 2024
- It's Wednesday 31st May, and we focus on the service between Shenfield and London Liverpool street that is TfL Rail. This is the line that will become Crossrail next year, and new 'Class 345' trains were due to debut on this day, could we find one! Then, whilst passing Ilford, we get to go into the Greater Anglia train maintenance depot.
Thanks also to the London Transport Museum Friends, have a look at their website at www.ltmuseumfr... and join up to get closer to and behind the scenes stuff at the London Transport Museum!
Also, a big thanks to Dan for getting us a look around inside Ilford Depot too!
You can see our progress map along with loads of other information about the journey on our website here: www.allthestati...
ROUTE: Shenfield - London Liverpool Street
5:56. That's the best pull-focus shot we've EVER done ... !
All The Stations I felt the same, when's your short film coming out? 😂
All The Stations Ilford!!!! Used to live there!
All The Stations found you 2 in news paper
Alex The Trainspotter I've ordered the Newspaper
TransportAndStuff808 they were in daily express very intresting to read a lot of money gone in to this but its worth it
"This is the line that will become Crossrail next year"
Oh dear.
It won't because crosrail will open in 2021.
Samuel the lego master. r/woooosh
Probably 2022 now
@@Roblilley999 that’s optimistic I reckon 2030
Or the year after, or the year after, or the year after, or the year after, or the year after ........ no wait, it’s the year after!
Oooh I do love the sounds of those 315 traction motors not to mention those Westinghouse compressors! Thanks guys for another great video, your films always make me smile
I'd just like to thank Geoff, Vicki and everyone who helped funded #AllTheStations for making such an awesome daily series!
Vicky should go really go to one of the major dutch stations to actually see a lot of bike racks
Oh right, let's do: "All The Fietsenstallingen"
(I'm actually German, but I know some Dutch words lol)
TFL must have racked up a considerable cost installing those bike........
Piet van Everdingen LOL I think we posted this at the same time! 😃👍
Utrecht is a good place to start
Venlo
Excellent- Interviews make the show. Seeing marked improvements in technique and developing distinctive style- Bravo to the Team (!!). Like Vicki and Geoff’s explorations and discoveries of the interworking of the Railway. Bonus Video adds a lot. Yes great Pull (!!)
‘When crossrail opens next year’ aged well didn’t it
Were the crisps those lime and coriander mini poppadoms? I can't identify train classes, but I know my snacks.
Daniel seems fun and friendly. Also cute.
TRiG (Ireland) +1 for daniel
Met him at Cambridge recently - top guy!
Thanks for giving the Transport Museum Friends a shout out!
We were on a Virgin service (Euston to Liverpool) earlier this afternoon and their was what I think was a Class 345 set sat in sidings just outside of Crewe (on the southern side), looking rather dirty.
Wow, great to see that MTR is running the Crossrail. I've used the Hong Kong MTR before and I'd confess that it's one of the best metro rail systems around.
Hence the reason for the MTR-looking livery of the Class 345 trains for the Crossrail.
Bonus fact: They also help run some of the lines of the Stockholm Tunnelbana (Metro) and also several metro lines in PR China (notably the Shenzhen Metro just across the border). For the Stockholm trains, they use ST colors though (light blue), but have a small "Run by MTR" or a similar sentence by the doors.
Also, props to Geoff for keeping the taboo on the E-Word.
I live in Hong Kong so I spotted the MTR logo too.
I live there too. They also helped to build the one in Guangzhou, but I couldn't believe that they are all the way here in Ilford XD
The 345's do look like the ones that run the Tung Chung line (orange) and the airport express, except it has fewer doors and it doesn't have the emergency access door at the front.
Modified version perhaps to confirm to British rail standards. I think Hong Kong's uses a similar gauge though. And correct me if I'm wrong but do the 345's have more carriages per trainset? Seems so with the platform lengths.
+Avery Lopez-Baines bro almost every major city with a respectable metro system has a better system than new york. MTA is so bad and horribly underfunded and corrupt
We Hongkongers are so proud. :)
Loved this episode the most so far only because my relatives live along this line (Seven Kings, Ilford and Manor Park). I first rode it in 92 when it was still NSE. We would ride from Manor Park to Stratford and then jump on the 59 stock of the Central Line. Great memories
The depot was awesome 👍
Ilford Depot! - best video yet! 😀
Comment from the future. Crossrail central core did not open in 2018 but rather 2022. It’s all works very well though.
I used to work on The London Underground, stripping down trains and re-building them, at Northfields Depot. I then went on to re-wire the old trains, for one man opperation.
3:38 Now in 2020, I can’t help feeling a little sentimental about Bombardier.
It was the 1974 contract for Montreal’s metro that started Bombardier Transport, I grew up near the Canadair plant, later B. Aviation, and a cousin worked for them. The owners weren’t up to the job, but were great at taking bonuses... Alstom is taking over making the 345’s?
Almost two decades ago an way before this young fellows time, but I used to spend many hours *adjusting the liveries* of Great Eastern at Ilford etc. :P
You went on a 315 on 31.5, coincidence?
KasabianFan44 I think not... *cue illuminati music*
More like the "X-Files Theme Song"
KasabianFan44 imagine if the train left at 3.15 in the afternoon
Even better, she's wearing illuminati earrings
zerosixsplat she’s wearing deathly hallows earrings from Harry Potter
That's not actually that many bike racks at Ilford. Not to Dutch standards, anyway.
I was just about to say that. Delft station has three bike storage areas, with 16 of those racks in each of them :)
By the way, the red handle on the top ones allows you to slide out the rack and then push the back end down, so you can easily put your bike on the top rack as well. Quite ingenious :)
My station has a large parking for 4100 bikes. Plus a lot on the side. Plus a later addition. And some more on the other side of the station. And at a nearby office block. Probably 5000 in total.
Looking at the flag: Groningen, right?
It's been a while since I've been there, but that sounds good :)
Lol and then there's Amsterdam centraal with 17.500 parking spaces.
Yep. Probably the biggest.
All the TFL rail stations are being made step free access, but those 345 trains look as though there is a tremendous gap between the train and the platforms. In all this extending of platforms, do you know if they'll actually have humps or, lo, raised platforms for level boarding?
is their a class 123 train . if their is it would be funny to have a class 123 train next to a class 345.one,
I sincerely enjoyed this video. I am looking forward to Crossrail next year. Superb insight into Ilford Depot. What can I say? Thank you to everyone involved.
Fantastic!
"Thanks Crossrail". Throssrail.
bigjaffa02 I love this comment. don't forget your science pencil!
that train that you got on at shenfield, I been on one of them
I think Vicki definitely needs to visit Dutch railways... I was stunned by the bike racks in Delft. Miles and miles, indoors and out! Jaw dropping.
gobears6487 Amsterdam Central Station, space for 17.500 bikes 😱
@@didierdeweille1722 And earlier this year they opened a new one that's raised the bar
There's something about the TfL and LO class 315 and 317 exteriors that makes them look really cheap and old - I don't know whether it's just the acres of white paint with no attempt to liven it up, but it doesn't do them any favours!
The theme song is really growing on me. I wasn't sure at first but I definitely love it.
have got new version/remixes of it coming soon, and we'll make it available for download on iTunes/Google Play etc ...
+All The Stations Hooray! Agree it's terrific!! Steven Francis, is that right? (need to look up on website again)
I was on the train today I wish I saw you lol my local station manor park
3:15 well that aged well 4 years later it finally game. better late than never i guess
Some Guy: Bla bla bla bla Elizabeth Line bla bla bla bla...
Geoff: *Triggered*
7:14 Geoff looks different in this one!
4 years later after this video opening in less then a week
That depot has very very new looking rails/sleepers/balast. Very tidy.
absolutely love the behind-the-scenes stuff!!
Commute on that line every week day. It’s not usually that empty! Lol
Very good content at the maintenance depot - well done ATS team!
Last time I was on TFL rail it was packed due to problems on the line and over 30 degrees. Much fun :)
Why was Shenfield selected as the terminus for crossrail? Seems not to be en route to a major destination
From 3:19 some great moquette shots (by V? ah no she appears! it's G!) and this is right up there on my list of favourite moquettes 😃👍
Odd you mention The Transport Museum. Doing the maths, I was there 32 years ago.
If you'd looked over the side at Chadwell heath you'd have discovered yet another railway line...
Is that why there is (or was) an old semaphore signal on the other side of the wall on the Essex bound platform?
It's a miniature railway run by the Ilford and West Essex Model Railway Club. The steam train runs on the first Sunday of the month in the summer. They also show off the model railways.
So happy you covered the line I grew up on :D
8:15 I'd have been too tempted to shout out "BOGEYS!"
Comment from the future it succeeded
I wonder if they stopped at Romford to do the short run down to Emerson Park?
tfl rail is my local i use it loads i swear it's busier than the tube at rush hour
Like that editing
No Romford In vid no!!
Who else loves the Class 317!
thanks for the update to the new tfl train's . My son can't wait either.
Whenever I saw Shenfield on the way to London, I'd always rejoice, the station is like the void between normal stations and London, it's the start of the Oyster reader on the line I used to take serviced by Greater Anglia
Hey guys don’t I know that crossrail is run by MTR And MTR Is in Hong Kong so basically crossrail is run by Hong kong
I live in ilford and I am so excited about the new trains
Yay! Ilford - my hometown 🏡. Abit of a 💩 hole nowadays though.
HM yep I've lived here since I was born 😂
I went there when i was in london last week and its a dump, smells of piss.
Go to Fairlop, Hainault or Barkingside, they are nicer places of Ilford. Oh, visit Seven Kings again, the neighbourhood looks so much better now.
@@Great_WesternTVFan indeed.
Really good video! The Class 315s are well cleaned and looked after despite their replacements the Class 345 EMUs are coming. Wish I could say about my local main line service Great Northern, the Class 313 EMUs have not been refurbished like the 365s have been, from 2018 brand new Class 717 EMUs will start operating. Really looking forward to the first Class 345 in passenger service. Crossrail should order the additional 18 units which will make a total of 84 Aventras so they can operate more services west of Paddington. Roll on Crossrail!
I haven't had chance to explore TfLRail yet. Thank's for highlighting that they're currently using the overground (Overground?) platforms at Liverpool St which spurs me on to try them out before Crossrail starts properly. I also liked the 2 little Class 08 shunters at the Bombardier depot; the second was in classic BR blue colour scheme but the first one seemed to be the even earlier BR green. Old style, I like that.
Is this what the Elizabeth Line will be?
'Crossrail' (not Elizabeth Line), yes!
What's the Elizabeth line? jk :P. Yes, this will be crossrail.
I know. #Triggered
Why is it not called the elizabeth line
Skylord Ah Gaming it is called the Elizabeth Line.But Crossrail is a better name.
345, to South Kesington
I enjoyed working on the Crossrail Project in that section before moving to London Underground. I worked at Chadwell Heath, Brentwood, Gidea Park and Shenfield. Once completed a lot of it won't be recognizable.
Deathly Hallows ear rings yaaaaaaaaaay!
But you never mentioned the now disappeared Ilford loop line behind the depot which used to go to Newbury Park Station - but this is about existing stations so never mind - I do think Geoff and Vicky are the sweetest couple - can I come to your wedding?
Good video, but you still haven't done the Isle of Wight yet 😜
Alasdair Clift they have.
James Hendry You do realise it has been a joke ever since they did it since they delayed the release of the video, and everyone was complaining even after it was uploaded for no reason
I know, we are SO SORRY Alasdair, we thank you for your continuing patience, we really must get round to it at somepoint!
10:14 This reminds me of the Inbetweeners "oh friend!"... sorry
TrainSimulatorCymru // SG_Miner21 Lol, I love that scene
Hitachi= No work but must wear high vizGreater Anglia= Lots of work "High viz is optional"
If you were lucky and you went on TfL rail a few months ago, when they brought the first class 345 to the Ilford depot, it was out in the open for a while and as the train went past, you could catch a glimpse of the class 345 units on your way into the station
Excellent young engineer. This is the sort of person we need to train for the future. Practical, plain speaking. Getting on with practical tasks. That's how the economy gets better, and we all get a better life.
In the states it's a five second rule on any food dropped on the floor, but can stretch to 30 if the floor is fairly clean. Keep up the great work, stay safe on your journeys.
One of the new class 345 Crossrail trains has been in a siding at a depot just to the south of Crewe. I noticed it being there between June 1st and 6th inclusive.
Seven kings should have been my hometown, but my mum decided to move back to the dump called barrow before i was born
Well that Dan in Ilford was a lovely bloke. He was a treat to hear and show you around. I enjoyed this unusual video. Well done.
Cheers
Tfl rail is great for Essex I use it a lot to get to my girlfriends house in London but cross rail will be even better especially if it does go all the way to West London and beyond
if you guys ever come to canada i could show you guys the Transcona Rebuild Shops
It's now 2020 and still no Crossrail through London
its been pushed back until 2050
Does anyone know what the current TfL trains will do once cross rail comes into force? Thanks!
Lewis Bell There were talks of electrifying the Welsh valley lines and putting them on there, but they're already over 35 years old
the hsts are over 40, but that isn't stopping them from renovating them and putting them into use in scotland... or the 1967 victoria line stock being renovated and put into use in northern england. there's probably older stock the current tflrail ones could be replacing somewhere!
Vicki, go to Amsterdam Centraal to see more bike racks
No way would he move to forest gate cos he likes it 😂😂😂. It's not the best to say the least 😂😂😂😂.
is it me, or is Ilford a little clean to what I'm used to...?
But then again, I'm used to a steam shed....
Vicki, if you think Ilford has a lot of bike racks then come to Amsterdam Centraal
Jack Jack Productions Haven’t been to Amsterdam so can’t comment on that, but Cambridge has a few!
I am slightly in love with Dan .... not just because he can take people to see trains :)
if you exit the station at ilford and walk to ley st where the entrance to the depot is you can often see some of the new crossrail trains.
"Elizabeth Line" doesn't really work as a name does it. Obviously inspired by Victoria Line, but that was named after the station, not the queen. There isn't a station called Elizabeth. "Queen Elizabeth line" would sound better.
Sorry, but I'm getting fed up of the number of times the higher ups insist on using the Queen to try to ingratiate themselves on the public. The QE2 bridge. Queens' Hospital in Romford and now this. The name of the line as far as I am concerned is Crossrail or possibly the Liverpool Street or Shenfield Metro line.
Calling at Brentwoooood, Harold Woooood...
Liverpool Street - Shenfield is also known as the Electric Lines
What's happened to romford ??
it's still there as far as we know!
All The Stations but you missed it from the video. Being from romford and loving the series but was
Looking for to their reaction on Romford
+Stuart Henderson they can't squeeze all stations into the videos :-) I calc'd if they did it would be 11 seconds per station and no other narrative or interesting stuff!
Same! Lived in Romford for 10 years and still go there most days for work. Watched this video to see if they mention it at all but they skipped the whole lot! Chadwell heath also only got 5 seconds :(
Would say that a pretty significant station missed on the line 🧐 but still love watching you two.
You missed my Station Harold Wood. But then nothing to see there :-)
On the 30th may a new class crossrail unit was in gidea park sidings
This is my local line and i am a local user and the services are quite reliable
TFL?????
0:38 Vicki sits so elegantly on TFL moquette. Brilliant.
Was it me or was the lip sync way out on that video in a lot of places?
Why do i get the sensation that Angel Trains are going to send the 315's to Northern _as well_ ? I'm pleased that they are keeping these older trains alive, but there has got to be a limit, right? So far, there are the 319's, D stock (?) maybe even the 442's. No wonder they are always complaining about train services up there.
First when they take over South West Trains are taking the 442s back, fortunately.
Ah, i see, So they're not bothering to make it a light rail network then?
Compressors are noisy on those ol' 315s aren't they.
Why is it a 315 instead of 313
4 coaches as opposed to 3 and a pantograph for overhead wires is its only power source, reason being is that there is no 3rd rail system on that line.
OMG the class 360 on line 15 took me to London last week wow
What is this 'Crossrail' thing you of which you speak? Does it have anything to do with the Lizzie-Line?
what is this 'Lizzie-Line' thing you speak of? we only know about something called Crossrail! :-)
Tell me those trains don't look like the c stock trains
will you do when you passed the Worthing area
That train sounds like an old car that struggling to start
it looks like there were 2 different moquette.....either that or they failed to cover one particular seat...
The difference is because one is the regular seat cover while the other one is the Priority seat cover.
