[ludocrat]

I'm just glad I did not have to witness the delicate microsurgery that made Ruth's dream a reality.

[20122017]

[20122017]

[lMisterMeaner]

Great film, thanks for uploading. I found it very enjoyable viewing.

Seriously, some people watch a great documentary and all they go on about is one of the experts being transgender, I thought we lived in the 21st century and not the 18th? So what if she is transgender, at least she has the courage to live her life how she wants, unlike you bunch of sniggering idiots - two words for you - grow up!

[MrChuffbox]

@alx617 here here I agree 100%

[baristi001]

Part 2 starts at 6:11

I've never known a woman to be so interested in railways

[BRUTUALTRUTH]

Who's the sad cunt with the Tin Tin haircut?

[NearAbbeyRoad]

This makes out that Electrical Multiple Unions (EMUs) were developed for London Underground.They were first developed for the Liverpool Overhead Railways in 1893.

[Danny30011980]

[Javindo]

Is it me or is half this video the same as half of part one...

[usernamealredytaken]

@Javindo No mate its not half, its more like 6 minutes & 11 seconds

[bsasteve]

ruth your the man for the job ;)

[markimark03]

what do they call it a "railroad"?? that's the american term!

[sydneysmooth21]

Sweetie and the British founded Amercia, so technically Amercian terms originated as british terms, your point?

[markimark03]

my point is that it seems incongruous in this case as the documentary is about London and the voiceover man has an English accent, so it sounds strange for him to use the American term.

[ZappoZampani]

@markimark03 Underground used technological improvments that were developed for suburban services in the USA especially the electric engines were derived from those of the Pennsylvania Railroad in New Jersey which was a railway electrification pioneer in the US. Terms like motorman, main line and train line for the compress air ducts were reimported.

[thestranglers]

When hes talking about the central line, why is there a whole clip of a northern line train arriving and departing the station?

[rorymarsh]

Ruth.. come off it love.. I mean mate.

[Djnocciols]

[Jonnyriffic]

@ginasweetie2006 I thought it was just me who thought that!

[dameaustel]

[fanboy112]

Was good then but they haven't built on what they learnt and have allowed it to decay substantially.

[Qbsneak113]

Wow, I use the tubr every day, but I never imagined how long it took to build the whole system.
