Hey friend, I'm from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, I've had the dream of becoming a machinist since I was a child, and watching your videos this dream only increases.... Congratulations for the video..

Gee whizz,,thanks for releasing this video,normally i am not a lover of third rail routes,but that is one amazing stretch,,,,the London Rail System,,once again Thanks

[@hobog]

what is wrong with the third-rail routes, just curious?

[@jd68ify]

très belle video, merci!

[@peterbryant3030]

There's a bit missing no East Croydon ? Although you see the train approaching with the tower blocks clearly visible then jump!

[@sidney001]

10mins waiting at a signal just outside Blackfriers but for some reason Croydon was cut?

[@pujithanilanka]

Thanks a lot for this.
Do you have any of this kind of video for Southeastern mainline?

[@valtrus901]

What a hub!!! Train activity is "massive" in the beginning. Love this route to Brighton at an 80 mph clip on 3rd rails. Enjoyed the video very much, filmed in HD no less. Thanks a bunch. Nice train car designs btw.....
Question: when the train gets the signal to move, notice that there are only 2 tracks leading into the hub, but also note that their appears to be construction to the right. Is that to be a 3rd track into the hub, for it seems that the 2 tracks are clearly inadequate given the amount of track activity leading into the hub?

[@TahreyUK]

...you can actually hear the driver comment on it as the train goes over the bridge, having been moaning about the extended (5+ minute) wait and how late the train is going to arrive. "Be so much better when they've put this second viaduct in here". So with any luck, it'll be at least 4 tracks total.
Edit: In fact, here you go: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thameslink_Programme#Borough_Market_Viaduct

[@valtrus901]

TahreyUK Thank you for that tidbit and the cite for reference. It's a logical action for expansion given the heavy train traffic into the hub.

[@KasabianFan44]

Well, good news, the construction of the second viaduct is finished now! And the train movement between Blackfriars and London Bridge is much smoother too :-)

What was the red signal about?

[@PianoKeys821]

Is you`re 319 in First Capitol Connect or Southern Livery?

[@caxin6917]

Hi 🙏

[@class87srule]

What's that abomination of a building ahead at 3':10"? 😳

[@adrianbaron4994]

Eevery time tjhe signals go to green the driver seems a bit slow off the mark. Normal ?

[@IanJD1905]

What's with the 377 sat outside Blackfriars?

[@bb-3653]

It's a 375 I think, since its southeasterns

[@tsangpogorge]

1:09:19 does anyone live in the castle above the tunnel?

[@glitch4465]

They do

[@KasabianFan44]

Not in the castle itself, but in that pink cottage above it, yes.

The video is jerky, keeps stopping and the download indicator reads 5 hours. I won't bother with this.

[@catmar1944]

I had no problems with the video, did you report the jerkiness to youtube?
