Driver's eye view - tube train

[aFreshStart2010]

i love London and the tube..do you ever see any of the many reported ghosts down there..??

[Jump2893]

do trains use there headlights while in the tunnel, must be abit boring when there in the dark tunnels all they see is the signals...

[asparagustips]

The only thing you should see in the dark is the signals. There's nothing else in the tunnels to look at, except more tunnel.

[Jump2893]

Oh okay, i was also wondering if tube drivers spend most there time underground or overground? I dont know much about the London underground so not sure how far the lines go overground...

[asparagustips]

only 40% of the Underground is underground. The Victoria line is entirely underground except the maintenance depot and the Waterloo & City line and its depot are below surface. The remaining lines are overground outside of central London.

I never knew there were express trains on the London Underground.

[FruityFilm]

Piccadilly line between Hammersmith and Acton Town and the Metropolitan line has a few different express routes but most notably Wembley Park to Finchley Road

What is your favourite tube stock? I love the '73

[asparagustips]

Probably the Craven unit (for memories) as I used to travel on it to get to school (Hainault-Woodford shuttle), but then the FACT was 73TS I believe.

@asparagustips Th only Cravens train I can think of was the A60 stock currently on the met but that operated nowhere near Hainault:|...

boring job

[asparagustips]

which is why the terms and pay are so good

[gner125]

sure you try to hit buttons in a matter of 2.75 seconds! and its amazing to go speeding trhough stations fast and blasting the horn

[neneshah]

I did not see any lights when it went through the tunnel !!

[asparagustips]

It's not a tunnel, it's a bridge. The only thing you should see in the dark, is signals.

" he he P45 is in the post"

Yeah, if you're the sort of train driver that sits on the right. Of course you'd need long bits of string and bamboo to work the controls. Durrr Brain.

[asparagustips]

The music is JJ Cale, "end of the line" from the album Travelog.

[ryminsta]
