Hi there

Great video, I was a Guard & Operator from 1984 to 1993 on the Piccadilly, based at Wood Green, I collected a p-way guy on the curve under the 2nd bridge approching Acton, the dent on the front of the train was there for years!!!

Cheers

There used to be some wicked oldskool graffiti along this part pf the line. I feel London Underground has lost a lot of its character by obliterating the years of graffiti history with dull brown paint for the Olympics :( .. I realise I am in the minority here.

nice vid but your going fast

[raker2258]

@kaiyan246 you don't. Camera on window ledge and leave it alone till the train has stopped in the next platform.

[kaiyan246]

good but how do you hold that and drive at the same time?
