Waterloo & City Line (2) - Class 482 (1992)

The Waterloo & City Line trains which were introduced by Network SouthEast in 1992/3.

Known as Class 482 they were almost identical to the 1992 tube stock built for the Central Line.

They units were built as direct replacements for the elderly Class 487 units, dating from 1940.

-----------------------

This video has two sections - the first part shows these trains in March 1994, just weeks before railway privatisation saw the ownership of the Waterloo & City Line passing over to London Underground.

Especially at the beginning some scenes are a little short - my mistake, I did not film them for as long as I should have.

Part two are a series of still images showing the trains in April 2007, after the W&C Line had been closed for a major refurbishment, during which time the trains had also been refurbished and repainted in corporate LU livery.

More information on these trains can be found here

------------------------------------

STOP PRESS!!

Since this film was made the trains have been repainted into standard London Underground red / white / blue livery.

@sheru7mera7naam007.

Everything is in order and how it is supposed to be.

100 + years ago we Brits went around the globe, nowadays Karma sees people from around the planet coming here.

In the process we build a multicultural global village through which we all become stronger, and wiser.

it retains different colour moquette on the seats inside its trains, the seats still have their armrests and it has CCTV cameras inside its trains.

Also, I think that the trains are 'human driven' - unlike the Central Line where trains are driven by computers.

@masteruploader1998 you are comparing a short line built over 100 years ago with a much larger system which dates from the 1960's.

Obviously you are proud of and have affection for your home city - this is only to be expected, most people are like that. However not everyone goes around making belittling comments on other people's cities and their transports just because they are different.

your name suggests you were born in 1998 & are a child aged 12. If so you've still got lots to learn!

Pity they didn't. I think each train should have a livery respective to the line colour. Would make the tube nicer.

@spartan117ism

the term 1992TS is only correct for 'today'... in BR days they were known as Class 482. This was because whilst they came off the same production line as the Central Line trains the different railway companies gave them different names.

@citytransportinfo They were also known as Bombardier LU 1992TS

@citytransportinfo I wonder how many 1992TS trains they have on the W&C Line

@citytransportinfo when were these repainted from NSE livery to LU livery

The London Tube sucks. Nowhere to take a piss.

@frankliu532 true, not to mention the fact that they tore it into two pieces... n e way what's done is done, it's in the past lol

[frankliu532]

@1982FMJ Not all immigrants are asylum seekers, you idiot. And asylum seekers don't especially come here to "scrounge" like those multi-million-making newspapers - who of course totally have the working man's best interests at heart - would have you believe.
