London Underground Driver's View (2 of 2)

[jasna106]

I used to be at tube driver on the district line until someone fell in front of my train and it wasn't the first

[Bails992]

Here in Australia our train drivers would have to blow the horn going into tunnels.

[joeymh13]

are you a tube driver because i realy want to become a tube driver every day i look at videos like this

[zairuku]

I feel sorry for them O.O if i saw that pitch black tunnel comming towards me, id be freaked out...doing my job inside there, no ty...

[QuevilleWilderness]

Lol yeah, it can get pretty depressing for them

[timosebi2]

What time was this recorded at?

[timsimmk]

Brilliant video!

[r27redbird]

great video, nice to see the northern line when it used to work back in the early 2000's and when the 1995 stock still looked new!

[amarsbarr]

I still cant get my head around the fact that the underground has been in service since the 1860's!!!! pretty much every day since then people have been using it, I would love to go back to the 1930's or 40's and see what the whole system was like back then and life in general too! in England

Take away the Victoria and Jubilee lines, imagine trains of the period and no vending machines and you are almost there!

okay vid

[jakethejuj56]

how do drivers know when to stop

do yuo get like a beep or signal or something?

[AppleOranges12]

They learn the route during training and memorise all the braking points by heart. Drivers rely on visual cues (such as curves/signals/bridges) to determine when to apply the brakes to accurately stop by the stopping mark st stations.

[QuevilleWilderness]

Traffic lights, calls, and codes are recieved through the rails

[Numanoid1963]

@jakethejuj56 You brake when you see the whites of the passengers eyes!!....Love from an ex Northern line driver..1988-95

[crazyshedlife]

i love the noise it makes when the train enters the tunnel...

[wazia007]

is thies a 1995 stock.

[Tetramesh]

Yes, when this was filmed there was only 95 stock running on the Northern Line.

[mrtulala1]

there still is

[Tetramesh]

I know. I meant as opposed to both 95 and 59 stock in service on the line at the same time.

[dontrequest]

@Tetramesh By the way I don't get the difference between 59 and 62 stock.

One point else: When I was in London, Northern Line was mainly served by 56 stock.
