You English take great care of your trains. Here in NYC the trains look like crap with all these gangsters scratching the windows and the trash left by irresponsible people.
Riding the Circle Line on the London Underground all the way round and back again to where you started out nearly two hours earlier will give you a very good idea of what humanity in general is all about - I guarantee that you will see everything there is to see, pretty much, if you spend the entire day on a Circle line train - life in the raw, so to speak. All human life is on the London Underground - it can be great fun or it can be occasionally quite dispiriting, it depends on what you see,

Excellent! The sight of Refurbished D stock is most welcome. But I wonder why they are doing that, since they'll all be replaced by that S (as in Stupid) stock within five years!
this video freaks me out. the london underground is often populated gy good looking men but i still get all confused and paralyzed with claustrophobia, oh and everyone stares at the floor, ironically adding to my self conscious paranoia, mind the gap aaaaaaaaaaaaaah
Where can I find videos of the old now retired stock? Not just the District Line but also the pre 1995 Central Line stock...any videos on here? I cant find any :(
I like how much information is given to the passengers in London underground trains (for example at 3:20)! In German subways the voice usually only tells the name of the next station ^^
I love the LU, it's like home to me! i love the way they shaped it to be a tube! (I still prefer southern train services, they run through southern england) wonder why it's called southern..
nyc subway aint that impressive and in london, considering that it was the first, and now the largest, its kinda messy!!!!!!!! (at least in nyc the trains are on time LOL)
thanks for the video- i still see the underground as the best part of a day out i n London-theres nowhere else quite like it in the world, and i've been on metros in New york, Paris and Berlin. This video really captures the strange sounds and atmosphere.
Yes--i know what you mean about the journey into London--you can be in no doubt you are entering a huge city. I'am fortunate enough to live near the west coast mainline, and the very impressive Virgin Pendolinos pass frequently. THANKS AGAIN
the voice that tells you its the next stop is soooooo annoying lol and the northern line has problems on it alot which is annoying to but i still wish i still lived in london
These London Underground trains are much much better than what it was 32 years ago when you can get a ride as low as 5p ! 10p youi can go from Piccardili Circus to Russel Square.
Central is one of the best. Wider door entrance (wider than any other line) super fast trains. And trains almost every 30 seconds in peak times. What else can you ask for? A spaceshuttle?
Trains do not come every 30 seconds, it is not possible. The Central line's peak hour headway is 120 seconds, which means two trains, if on scheduel, should pass the same point with 120secs between them. The only reason they'd be every 30secs is because there was a delay earlier and the trains have bunched up. 120secs isn't that impressive world wide, Moscow and Paris both run trains every 95secs, which is a little under a third more trains in an hour.
Why are you writing to me in the first place? Your telling me this is 'not possible'? so why when i stand on platforms this is the case, you asshole, dont try and act the smart arse with me.
Yes I HAVE READ IT CLEARLY THANK YOU THE FIRST TIME. But you said 'it is not possible' if it happens when 'they are bunched up' then i suppose it is possible.
By saying that trains come every 30 seconds you are implying that that is the timetabled headway, as there is no other reason to say it otherwise, since most metros will have trains coming out of the tunnels if there is a backlog of trains after a delay. But I was unclear, sorry about that.
The tone of your first post suggests you think trains coming every 60 secs is a good thing, it isn't as it means LU isn't managing their headways properly, if they were trains would be exactly 120secs apart. See this clip from Moscow: PLYx5iFpLYI the train arrives nearly exactly 95secs after the first one, the line is timetabled for 95secs, that's how it should be! Now, if you want to go on about the exact definitions of every would in my first post, then go ahead, but don't expect me to reply.
It isn't if the second train arrives 30 seconds after the first one, and then the third comes 3 minutes and 30 seconds after the second to recover the gap in the service. Why do you think there are always delays where the driver says they are "regulating the service" because there should be an even gap between all the trains, and if one comes 30 seconds after the other then that is proof that there isn't an even gap!
i like london also but ur wrong about it taking a long time i missed a picadilly train and another one came like 20 seconds ltre dude but i still respect ur opinion
I've seen a blind guy on the streets of london being beaten up by some polish fat woman like on the other side of this big road, right near a crowded bus stop, but everyone just ignored it, like nothing was happening. Typical.
I never expected there were more idiots like me who love London underground so much. I even miss the smell when I'm not there. I just love London and everything about it.
average speed is normally 35mph central line comes in faster as it is automatic so trains starts stops itself same with victoria but normal trains come in 35-30mph i am a driver on northern line i normally come in at full speed as brakes are goond that type of train
I dont know the actual speed but for the deep lines like the central and jubilee its fast!! For sub surface lines like the circle and district its not as fast.
have to laugh seeing notting hill station. i was tourist during when the carnival was going on there ....didnt know it and got quite a surprise when i arrived at that station. more humanity than you would ever hope to see. london was my moms home. thanks for the pics. happy memories.
