Lovely pleasant video, rather gentle really. I love the music, could you tell me what it is please?

[asparagustips]

Unfortunately I can't, it was a video/audio swap forced by YouTube as the original music (Neil Young) was removed.

I have watched this again and again. Its like going into nothingness. It is scary. What does the driver do while say 2 min of total darkness. Fall asleep- no of course not

Thanks Aspag for any further info

It's an area where there is 24/7 darkness, no sun, no lighting. The driver can see a long way ahead with the fairly dim lights, but most importantly, s/he needs to see the signals, it's critical

There could well be, but why would you want to see inside the tunnel?

[dsaunders020]

how does he know that hes going down the right track? obviously the tunnels split from time to time in other directions. what if the signals mislead him?

[MrToughman2010]

I thought I died and I was running from the light to come back home

[mosem100]

why was the network so empty?

Ahhh - I thought the music had changed. A pity - I just love the film though... I could get pretentious and say its a metaphor of life - long dark bits, with little episodes of lightness, before plunging back in. But I wont :)

....yes, I'm stupid. I obviously thought that it was a slave trade run job. And that choice also takes away difficulties of a job. Of course.

[skillpluswill]

are you stupid? they choose to do this job not forced.

This gives me such a difference opnion on the tube drivers now. Such a lonley and claustrophobic atmosphere. I commend any drivers to do this everyday while 'we' sit and complain about being two minutes late to our brightly lit offices and workplaces.
