Did a delivery today to both Hoxton and Haggerston stations on the East London Line London Overground extention. Took the time to get some footage of the Class 378 units that are currently being tested along this stretch of line.

  • I love the "Ladies and Gentlemen - the service to Platform 1 is delayed" at the end

  • @peterhicks - LOOOOOL!!! Yea, that was a nice touch! I have to say though that since the line has been open there haven't been any major problems that I've been aware of.

  • Amazing stuff! Thanks buddy! Thought your presenting skills were top notch too.

  • Thanks for that mate! Keep an eye out for other videos because if I get the opportunity I want to try and get some footage from some of the stations south of the water. If I'm round that way I'll try and get something from the depot at Surry Canal Road. Last time I was there they'd barely started on the actual building. I could probably make a VERY interesting video there now!!

  • Great vid, I agree with the subtitles. One thing though the announcements sound too computerised.

    Also im not happy at all of cutting our service into London Bridge for this line and having 8 trains an hour into Dalston, I just think 8tph is not needed, while there will only be 4tph into LB.

  • Yea, the station announcements remind me a lot of the ones they use on the DLR. I wonder if it might even be the same voice/software? And I have to agree, it seems an odd decision to have more trains running to Dalston than into London Bridge! You have to wonder about the people who make these choices sometimes!

  • wawooo its actually sunny in london for ounce

  • Nice vid. Interesting to see the new stations before they open.

  • Thanks for that. I'm going to try and do another video, but this time it will be a collection of photos that I've taken along the extention. Some of what they've done is really impressive. I'm thinking especially at Dalston Junction where I had a look very recently. I certainly didn't expect the setup I found there!!

  • really cool to see! thanks
