The Tube - Waterloo station

[MzWwaPPd]

@findnpost

No, because these walls are ugly and people, at least in Warsaw do not take their own lives in the subway but it is England ...

[1982FMJ]

the future of the undeground is driverless trains or remotely operated like the trains they have in airports in america.

[jasperleeyide]

Lol guys. Its not called 'Glass walls'. Its called Platform Screen Doors 'PSD'

[xashleykamix]

Does the Northern Line at Waterloo have these glass walls too?

[andyhibbert]

@xashleykamix no it doesnt

[MzWwaPPd]

This wall is stupid!

[Astoria0107]

@MzWwaPPd This wall is very good.and useful.

[MzWwaPPd]

@Astoria0107 No, it's stupid

[Astoria0107]

@MzWwaPPd No, it's SAFE! If somebody die by the metro... It's stupid!

[bengo940]

@Astoria0107 i agree that the PED's are safe and i think it gives the platform better air quality, not sure though, cause i think tunnels could be dusty.

[findnpost]

@MzWwaPPd why because you wish to push people on the tracks or take your own life?

[MrDener2009]

one of the best transport systems in the world, I would be proud being londoner

[beyblader10171]

Central line trains are the fastest in my opinion, its like as if the drivers are in a rush to get to the next station

[CJ19Productions]

@beyblader10171 That's because the train operators aren't on the handle, the ATO system makes for a very uniform service that is very quick.

[beyblader10171]

@CJ19Productions

so wat do the train operators do??

[CJ19Productions]

@beyblader10171 They are there to control the doors and press ATO start when it's time to go. The Jubilee is being fitted with a modern version of the system at the moment, which is why there are so many closures. Thales has managed to shoot 6 months over schedule though.

Also t/ops are there for safety, for example if you get stopped in a tunnel, traction current is out, for evacuation etc

[drponyslayer]

@CJ19Productions So....Tube drivers pretty much just sit on their arse all day and press a few buttons? I know there's the thing about having millions of lives in their hands. But minus that....thats all they do? Just push a button?

[CJ19Productions]

@drponyslayer They have a lot more to worry about than that. In the peak they can be responsible for 1000 people on a train! They need to know what to do when a fault arises (if there weren't t/ops in the cab on the Vic and Central there would be delays galore!), what to do in case of emergency, and sometimes, help evacuate a hell of a lot of people from a train in a tunnel! Currently only the Victoria and Central lines have automatic operation. The rest of the lines are manually driven, and....

[CJ19Productions]

@drponyslayer the Central can be too. It has ATP and ATO, meaning that it can be driven manually, which is done most Sundays on the open air sections, and does help when it's wet outside. On the Victoria the 67s (now being replaced) have a tendency to try and overshoot the stop marker. It isn't all that common and I've only seen it twice in the dozens of times I've been on the Victoria. Not that it's a safety issue though. All the t/op has to do is throw the brake into emergency making a....

[CJ19Productions]

@drponyslayer 'fart' sound as the train line air dumps. T/ops do not have an easy job to do on any line, and really do earn their pay when something goes wrong (and that isn't particularly rare)

[drponyslayer]

@CJ19Productions I wish i hadn't said anything...thanks for the info, i guess...

[portugal700]

thats so freaking cool!!! go england!! yay

[Jwats96]

watch out... Bourne might be there....

[fletcherhf73]

Fast

[electrogeek77]

I like the barrier between the track and the platform. Will all Underground stations eventually have those?

[AlteranAncient]

The platform doors are actually part of a design to improve air flow; preventing accidents is just a fun added side-bonus. Unless they plan on doing major redevelopment to Green Park and all stations northbound, these improvements probably won't be seen across the rest.

[SmrtBusesLuver]

Woah, nice train sound! It is similar to Singapore's SMRT Alstom C830, which is operating the Circle Line & SBS Transit's Alstom C751A which is operating the North East Line. Both trains are driver-less. These trains produce higher pitch than these London Tube's train. Please have a look on our Singapore trains by searching 'SBST C751A' or 'SMRT C830' at the YouTube's search box. Thanks!

[timosebi2]

Where does that train terminate?

[AndreDevecserii]

A full service terminates at Stanmore, but it can also be shortened to Wembley Park or Willesden Green (or Canons Park in the peak hours). This train was only going to Wembley Park. The other terminus is Stratford (sometimes shortened to North Greenwhich in the peak hours)

[timosebi2]

What ais a peak hour? and when is the peak hour?

[AndreDevecserii]

peak hours are when most people commute to and from work, 06:00 - 10:00 and 16:00 - 19:00.

[THEHAZZA97]

Stanmoore or Stratford

[timosebi2]

I just saw the thing at 0:10 and it says wembly park

[timosebi2]

This is the jubile line

[acupoftea123]

Love the sound! Can´t wait to get back to London.

[BeeStylee]

haha, thats so weird cos im goin to london in nine weeks and i cant wait, but i came on here just to see the tube and hear the sound too like you lol. Thats london for u! get dead excited!

[SPTSuperSprinter156]

me neither!

[mgardiner2725]

They have the same traction motor as the Cl465 EMU I believe.

[AndreDevecserii]

you mean the suburban rail unit? Yes, in at the lowest speed the sounds are similar, but not when it reaches 7-8 mph.

[pinchialarma]

miss that sound... hope to be there once again soon!!!!

[scozzahisee]

How do they get these monsters underground and then put them on the tracks without a scratch???

[scozzahisee]

That sound always reminds me of a F1 car...

[Bodenike]

Those trains are to fast it scares me

lol

[LigisdAodSmg]

that tube driver was pretty off with his stoping the doors only just met up lol

[scozzahisee]

Wait a minute - the trains didn't sound like this last time I went there...

[Edwiness]

It's not a refurbished station, it's a relatively new station as it opened in 1999.

[luerexbob]

Refurbished??

[SonicUnleashed2008]

i agree that sound is the best out of the entire underground

[aznramon168]

jubilee line is da best! i luv da sound it makes wen it departs! thanks 4 uploading this video

[Kway32]

Yes, Jubilee was the best when I was there.

[SlyManPX]

I like trains that sound like that!

Try listening to a class 323.

[merseyrail508124]

Same! 323's sound amazing!

[deejayses1]

i have not went on the jubilee line for a long time but i am looking forward to it but i can go

on videos

[capttori]

:( This makes me miss London so bad! I went May15th - May25th and it was way too short:(

[class166]

maybe just at the start it sound like a class 465 maybe?

[railwayperson]

that is true, they do sound rahter like 465's which most people don't like for many reasons!

[pete4468]

Exactly the same traction package for strange political reasons. That is Gate Turn Off (GTO) drive with 3-Phase AC motors.
