"Up / Down" creates confusion with the old British Rail way of identifying a train's direction. "Up" trains were those heading towards London and "Down" trains headed away. So, a train from Euston to Liverpool would be described as a "Down" train, whereas a train from Manchester to Euston would be described as an "Up" train. London Underground never adopted this as nearly all lines, including the Piccadilly, go through London and thus are both Up and Down at different stages of their journey.

[JBofBrisbane]

@lgu954k - In Queensland, as a general rule, Up trains run "up the country" and Down trains run "down to the port". The only place where trains leaving in both directions are Up trains is Cairns, in far northern Queensland. In Brisbane, a train can start at Shorncliffe (or Caboolture or Ferny Grove), run through Central and Roma Street and finish up at Ipswich (or Cleveland or Beenleigh) and still be an Up train all the way.

[lgu954k]

The "Eastbound / Northbound" debate regarding the Piccadilly Line has been going on for years - London Transport, later London Underground Limited, insist on "Eastbound" - which is technically stupid. Cockfosters is the second most Northerly station on the network (Epping on the Central Line being the first) - despite this, it is only about 12 miles East of Rayners Lane, the original "Westbound" terminus of the line. Maybe "Westbound" (Uxbridge) "Northbound" (Cockfosters) would be correct...

[rodrigofquinteiro]

@lgu954k

hi lgu954k! i have to admit your comment was very informative! i truly did not know that my mistake was actually part of a long debate! it does make sense too, as i got so used to refer to places according to the postal code and saying northbound/southbound makes way more sense for the piccadilly line! anyway... thanks!

[JBofBrisbane]

@lgu954k - what would be wrong with "Up" and "Down"?

[JBofBrisbane]

@lgu954k @rodrigofquinteiro - In some rail systems, particularly in North America, the terms "Eastbound" and "Westbound" are used the same way other rail systems use the terms "Up" and "Down" - it merely describes the running direction on a particular line, not necessarily referenced to the actual compass direction.

[CadenceCPK]

@lgu954k If it was if Cockfosters was north and trains are departing southbound, that literally means the other end - Uxbridge would be south!

[Jacklaborde]

Please mind the gap...

[senojnais]

Hey, how's it going? I don't suppose there's any chance you could email me this video as it would really help with my uni project?

[rodrigofquinteiro]

@senojnais

hey senojnais, that would not be a problem at all, if you want to use it on your uni project! just put me in the credits, and i am happy ;-) do you want the original mpg file? i think it is 640x480 so it is a bit better than the current 360p here on youtube. send me your email address and i will give you a link from where you can download it. cheers!

[nyshortline]

The seats on that train look quite comfortable, not like the hard plastic seats we have to endure on our subways here in the States.

[EbsNhexz]

What's wrong with trams?! southern bastards! You always have to use occult wizardry to solve your problems, underground trains are just against nature..if I had written Dante's inferno the London underground is what would have described.

[gamblemadman]

@EbsNhexz Hahaha

[MatSallehBoleh]

I literally have no idea how this clip has got 1/4 million views. What the fuck man, what the fuck. Seriously?

[rodrigofquinteiro]

@MatSallehBoleh

it's not 250k views yet but probably it will get there... i noticed you have 3 videos of your own, with a bit less than 100 views each. i wish you the best of luck and hopefully people will enjoy your videos! i did not, but hey, it seems we have different tastes, right?

[dicf21]

I DONT LIKE THIS TRAIN, IS WEIRD

[Oddsman57]

You should include the sound from the Liverpool Five's " Piccadilly Line" with this video...it too is on You Tube.

[rodrigofquinteiro]

@Oddsman57

hmm, actually this is quite an interesting idea! ;-) i might do it, hopefully i will not be breaking any copyrights in doing so!

[simoncase]

I noticed on a little sticker above the door last time I was in London "last refurbished 1983". How old are these trains??

[rodrigofquinteiro]

@simoncase

hi there! i believe the older train currently in work is from 1962, but this might change a little bit in 2012, during the preparations for the olympics. it seems that part of the agreement was teh renewal of the fleet. hopefully there will not be any money left for it ;-)

[kzbxvz]

You must love that sound from an arriving London tube train.

[sakjikia]

Who got arrested for filming this?

[rodrigofquinteiro]

@sakjikia

nobody got arrested! i did this film myself, and had no troubles about it whatsoever.

[Thommaus]

i love the wind wich is coming, when the train arrives (:

[justicepartyuk]

Attack on London was a inside job to justify war on terror, on the day of London attack 10,000 CCTV cameras were switched off. click justice party UK.

[TheNinjaCowboys]

has no one noticed other than me that piccadilly line goes east and west?

[rodrigofquinteiro]

@TheNinjaCowboys

hmm, i guess you're right. i meant eastbound, instead of northbound. i have corrected the description already. thanks!

[timosebi2]

They have a horn but they only use it sometimes when leaving the platform

[badboiant29]

Did all the cars fit on?

[samuelin3288]

the cockeny never learn!!!!!!

[1982FMJ]

last time i went to london to stay overnight for an early morning flight for holiday to canada. It was amazing going round a huge city london one day and then next day flying huge distance over to canada on massive journey. BEst experience ever. I think heathrow airport combined with the london transport system is what makes london such an incredible experience and international gateway with people from all around the world.

[Becks43able]

LONDON! I love you, i´ll come to you soon <3

[85226]

Rode the underground in the 1960s as a kid. Loved the excitement, hearing the sound of the training coming. Thanks for the vid. Brought back great memories!

[imyk2k9]

centrel line rules

[LordHeath1972]

Great quality camera, good video.

I can't stand it when you innocently do things like this and then London Underground staff get all up themselves and say no you can't film or take photos on their property. I am fascinated with the history of the tube and it would be a natural want to film parts of it. Good for you mate.

[rodrigofquinteiro]

@LordHeath1972

thanks! i share your opinion about it, 100%! but since the London attacks, TfL staff are much more restrict. nonsense, but...

[timosebi2]

I think that platform is very dangerous and scary especily if you have a broken leg and on a walking stick you could fall

[bronzeonion]

@timosebi2 It's the idiots fault in the first place for using the tube with a broken leg and being likely to fall over, if the person had to use the tube for whatever reason he could use another station with a closer distance between train and platform

[UnderGr0undErnie]

The Piccadilly Line only has East & West bound trains, not North or South bound trains.

[NAHTAN23484]

What a view

[sadhukar]

who else finds the picadilly leicester square - covent garden section amusing?

'the next station is covent garden.....this is covent garden'.

[darthbandon10]

Does anyone even bother with Covent Garden? The overcrowding is insane.

[Lunarlaserranging]

you'll find the overcrowding is a problem on the entire british railway system.

[darthbandon10]

I am British, so I would know that ;-) It's a lot worse in central London though..

[crazyshedlife]

its better to get off at Leicester square

[Tolu1994]

this is my stop.

you don't know how helpful this video is to me

[Gerwalk1982]

@Tolu1994 I live in Barcelona, Spain. I love trains and thanks a lot to the uploader for sharing this piece to me. The fact that this is "your" station doesn't mean that this video is only for you. Don't like it? Don't look at it.

[Tolu1994]

what are you talking about

i didn't say i don't like it

i said it was very helpful and i meant it.

and how is saying that this is my stop saying that the video was uploaded soley for me?

[rodrigofquinteiro]

hey tolu1994, no offence taken, man! i think gerwalk1982 only said that because your previous post sounded "sarcastic", if you know what a mean! thank you anyway for checking out the video, it is great to see so many people watching it! cheers, rod.

[Tolu1994]

i'm not offended i'm just saying.

sorry if it sounded sarcastic, that is how i am generally so its expected.

[rodrigofquinteiro]

;-)

[mixedbreed19]

I dont believe he was saying anything wrong here......talk about taking things the wrong way

[cheitman1991]

I am an American, but i stayed in London for a few days, and the Underground was very efficient and had alot of charm and class. It was on of my favorite parts of London.

[hanllidk]

charm and class- you've not been on it on friday rush hour

[LondonUnderground186]

@cheitman1991 The London Underground is a worldwide icon, something anybody has to experiment while in London. It would be interesting to see if they will make special events for the 150th anniversary of the Underground on Jan. 10, 2013

[jack253]

@LondonUnderground186

Lets hope they bring the 1938 Stock on the Northern and Bakerloo Lines and 1962 Stock on the Central Line for the 150th Anniversary.

[LondonUnderground186]

@jack253 That would be awesome. And I will make the travel to be in London that day even if I live in Canada. I'm from Paris originaly and our "Metro" turned 100 years in July 2000. At some occasions, they bring back the old rolling stocks from the 30s/40s with wooden seats on 2nd class and cushioned seats on 1st class. That was a very great thing and to let people seeing and traveling what the trains looked like before the automatizations and modern cars.

[TheNinjaCowboys]

@cheitman1991 ha! i guess you missed out on horrible maintenance and often tube strikes while you were in london! (btw i live there)

[atraherne]

Its a very very old network, its all part of the charm.

[gloucesterharry]

who else is hating the no change between bank and monument? Grrrrrrr

[Interscene]

It's 5 months later, and there's STILL no interchange. SOOO Frustrating.

[gloucesterharry]

how long does it take to put in a bloody escalator ffs?!?

[sexygirl1678]

go on central line at bank there is a really big gap

[timosebi2]

Is it bigger than this?



[giantwarwock]

wow thatss a huge gap

[s1wz]

Yes, you are right; there are some huge gaps on the London Underground.

.

Have you been to Bank Station, or some others, where there is a continuous recorded announcement, saying simply, -in schoolmaster style voice: Mind The Gap!

.

Maybe the recording is findable on You-Tube, if not I shall record it for your good self if you wish.

.

The London Underground has data on the people who accidentally fall down the gap hole eg. folk with just slight vision problems, etc.

Cheers.

from,

del-boy.

[giantwarwock]

no lol I'm from Canada and I've never seen such huge gaps on our subways :o

[Edwiness]

Well your 'subway' was built in the 60s, LU has been around since 1863 when, surprisingly, Health & Safety wasn't much of a concern.

[cockycockney]

1973 Stock was an absolutely fantastic train. It was the best ever to enter service on the entire Underground. From an ex-Pic driver.

[UnderGr0undErnie]

@cockycockney The 73 stock is so good that it’s still going strong, its success is down to the maintenance teams, and that’s why the new stock is estimated to arrive in 2020 another 10 years.

[Azamarda]

I know the district line as a horn

[GreatRailwayJourneys]

Nice Vid, They do use horn the horn but not in the Tunnel Sections of the underground

[THEFINALHAZARD]

They ever use the horn?

[rodrigofquinteiro]

Good question... I've never heard the horn from these trains, I don't even know if they have one! ;-)

[1ff2as5f12s51f3]

They do have horns, but they don't use them much as they sound embarrassing. Think Thomas the Tank Engine!

[infrared567]

of course it does. All trains do for safety regulations. They are only realy used when coming above surface. Or exiting tunnels into Overground level.

[railwayperson]

they are sometimes used below ground if a train is running non-stop through an underground station but that is quite rare.

The 1973 stock trains WHISTLES sound rather like the d stock WHISTLES

[sonconmas]

they do!ive heard one when he terminated 3/4 down the line and pulled away.

[moonmad67]

It's called a Whistle!!!

[TrainphottersUK]

@rodrigofquinteiro its think it sounds more like a whistle then a conventional horn, although i think they have normal horns when running out of the tunnels

[vulgarmachine2]

@rodrigofquinteiro

They do, but it sounds like shrill whistle. You're lucky he didn't blast it when he came into the platform. You must've given him a bit of a shock when he came round the corner.

[Simzak951]

@rodrigofquinteiro Yes They Have A Wistle And Some Have A Horn But The Drivers Do Not Use Them

[AshleighJ282]

Yes They Do Have A Horn My Dad Workin On The Underground And Ive Been On The Front Of Them And Pulled The Horn Myself

Hope This Helped

[Joshie7797]

@rodrigofquinteiro all trains require a horn

[jamwithmates123]

@rodrigofquinteiro they do, but only use it on special services :)

[OldPrawnFace]

@THEFINALHAZARD Yes, when exiting tunnels and passing through stations that they're not stopping at.

[ojideagu]

@THEFINALHAZARD I'm English and I didn't even know they had a horn. I never ever heard it and it's probably never ever used.

[wwefan12431]

@THEFINALHAZARD were too gangsta to use the horn

[Murderdogs]

Well, I like it. I've seen it hundreds of times, but there is still something about these trains that excites me. Not the '73 stock though - that's just awful.

[FlyAirNick]

I'm with you on that!
