I am just glad this footage is preserved and we have the ability to watch it. I suspect some great footage has been lost to time due to old formats etc.
The Class 501 with a B2 headcode at 32:26 was a Broad Street to Watford Junction via Primrose Hill service In some R stock footage you can hear the constant whine which I feel sure came from the fluorescent tube lighting control gear
Yes, I believe on the R stock it's the motor-alternator, as the feed was dc but the lights ran on ac. I remember it used to cut out going over junctions. :o)
We used to Travel from Barking to East Ham to see my Grandad - I remember Red, silver and Green District line train too , of have I got that wrong ? - Nice memories by the way
That’s okay, but if it’s a financial worry, if you think we are making from this don’t worry because we have and I don’t think we ever would make anything from UA-cam, and in a couple of weeks this video will be far down the algorithm you will have trouble finding it. We don’t put anything on hear to make money, it’s to share history, transport and social history.

I bet lots and lots have been lost over time. It’s great to see the social history side of London Underground. Thank you

People are so knowledgeable, London Underground seemed to have a bit more going on back then.

B2 was via Hampstead Heath, B4 was via Primrose Hill.

Thank for your comments. It’s great to hear everyone’s little stories, and I’m glad that it bought back happy memories for you.
How long ago this was filmed?
I think it’s a mix of 60’s 70’s and 80’s
More old TfL footage!
I wonder whether John Laker (who filmed this) has agreed to his footage being placed on UA-cam. I shall ask him.
That is rather sinister, threatening comment
Your username is fitting for you.
