quality, was this around 98/99?

[TubeTales1]

It`s from 1999.

[JerryX68]

Yeah, that's dark alright! Sadly, these things happen. A tube driver once told me about a mate of his who'd had to take early retirement after his train hit a woman at Piccadilly. She was sitting in the 'jumpers' pit', cross-legged, with her back to the train. Drivers can't stop their trains so there was nothing he could've done. Just before impact she turned and smiled at him in his cabin. He'll never forget that moment or stop wondering what her smile meant. 'Thanks'? 'Lovely day isn't it'?

the kid was so real. superb actor

[DARANGULAFILM]

If Bob Hoskins gets to directing features on a regular basis, they will be worth the watch. The ending with the face at the window and the voices - the future could be anything - good decision. Who wrote this ?

[FinnTom101]

'Causing a fucking hazard' LOL !!!!

what does the kid say at 1:45?

I think it's bitter?

[DeanieBoi07]

If that's the way you wanna look at it, yeah. But the 'baby' is rather ugly if you ask me.

[MultiCARTOON]

Farther A stock train will replace by new Baby s stock train.

[DeanieBoi07]

Yep, to become part of the London Overground network. The A stock will be going completely as of this year to be replaced by the new and ugly S stock. Such a shame to see a decent batch of rolling stock go.
