 Hello, thank you for joining me. It's minus one degrees today. It's snowing. I'm in Stockholm I'm surrounded by all these former industrial buildings and as it's quite cold I need somewhere inside to go and this one in front of me this is the city's transport in let's go inside and get out The snow and see what I have to see. I've just had my entrance fees get in and here I am. I'm on a metro train This is one of the older Stockholm metro trains. What we're gonna do. We're gonna have a walk around We're gonna see metro trains, trams and buses and just like you'd expect of any city's transport museum a bit of everything of their transport. Certainly their past transport and we can have a look about possible future transport It looks really quite exciting. So as we walk past here there's metro train we have just been sitting inside If I turn the camera around This is what we're greeted to So we've got trams That one there 401 that's from the transition period from tram to metro We've got some buses up there. We've got so much older trams another metro train. I Understand the way it went now. I don't know every detail of the history of Stockholm But Sweden drove on the left-hand side like we do in the UK until 1967 a year ago Exactly this time of year ago. I was in Oslo We visited the transit museum there and I was confused about why were there right-hand drive buses and then somebody pointed out in the comments It's because Sweden used to be right-hand drive. So it was a Swedish bus So when when Sweden converted to left-hand drive it caused a bit of a problem with some of the tram systems It meant that various tram systems, you know, didn't necessarily work because the railways seemed to still be on the left But the cars roads are on the right. So Certain parts of the tram network has survived. I've made videos. I've been making drivers I will there will be drivers. I've used on those videos. So watch the watch out for those I've managed to make some drivers. I've used of some of the tramways and there's some really beautiful tramways here in Stockholm So here we have what I'd call a tram. I think this vehicle here This is one from when some of the trams were made so they would go through the tunnels And then it developed into the tunnel like 100% correctly my Swedish is very far from perfect It would have progressed from trams through to Metro So have a look around there. See what we can see. So here's one of the much older trams This one here number 14 is electric. Just see the trolley pole up there And on this side we have various various signs Behind me is a tunnel Yeah, I think we might have found a miniature railway Think we might have to make a separate video on that. It's funny though. Don't often see a tunnel We're metro train above it normally the metro train is in the tunnel. Let's now go and have a look around There's the museum's cafe. I'll definitely go and have perhaps a cup of tea there And watch little trains come in now, that's pretty cool Let's have a look and see what we can see. So this is the sort of the colour of the Stockholm trams Even today the modern trams which run in Stockholm are blue like this We can't actually go inside, but I'm gonna put the camera up to the window so you can see I'll give you an idea. So how? Yes, there's a driver's cab at that end. Is it one the sort I like? Yeah, so it looks as though well three sets of folding leaf doors Yeah, and it looks as though there isn't a driver's cab at this end So as I do in places like Saphir, I'll stand at the back of my camera and film like a backwards drivers I've used We have another tram much older It sort of looks electric to me it could be horse Two trams. So one thing I've just noticed now, I don't know if it will work But look there's a ticket barrier here. There's only one other museum I've been to that's had a ticket barrier as part of the display and that was it at the London bus booth Yes, it opened that's so cool Close again, let's do that again. That was too fun not to do Only people like me get excited about ticket barriers, right? I'm gonna put the camera ahead of me this time so you can see it Actually, that's what they call the swash swush ticket barriers because they're sort of like that We don't have them in Britain anymore, but I remember there were a few stations used to have them Where was it Portsmouth and South Sea Southampton Central Epsom Chelmsford possibly Romford If anyone knows were there any other swash whoosh ticket barriers in Britain Please comment and tell me Ireland had them does have them actually and they're quite common in Europe But I say I think extinct in Britain It's in the uniforms the staff would have worn everywhere you look in this museum. There's You know old pictures. It's quite nice here They actually got like an old tram stop and they placed it exactly where it would have been in an old photograph So, you know, it really sort of adds to the atmosphere Here we have a nice little motor bus to enjoy vintage buses So that's it's a Leyland bus So and as you can see it's right and right because it dates to the time when Sweden drove on the left That's pretty made in Britain. It makes sense if Britain made, you know buses for Sweden because if you know We've both drove on the same side of road Here is the front of a more modern bus as you can see by now the buses are left-hand drive As for this metro, I'm gonna mini Metro Deserves a separate video there will be a separate video. I'm just gonna tease you a little bit Seven a quarter inch gauge metro here. We are definitely gonna have to have a ride on that. I'm not coming here not widen that There's a long metro train Here we go into Yes, that's where the driver Yeah, so drivers it looks as I drive out to stand up to drive the train there's a seat here for the second man Still Yeah, it's like the doors you get a metro station. I like it when they have You know exhibits like this you get in there now one thing I will say now this this applies to most museums things like those doors Help to explain that It's a funny thing that comes up on that every now and then I always say the term train station is Incorrect. I was gonna say no, but it's what trains go to if you were to The point is there's always a railway there and there's all the other infrastructure Associated with railways at a railway station. That's why it's a railway station or train station. If this was a train museum Or train and Tratton, but if it was a train museum, there wouldn't be that ticket barrier There wouldn't be the doors. There wouldn't be the uniforms. So, you know, it's a transport museum in general But that's why, you know, that's why that term is wrong Say train station. This isn't a train museum. It's a rail rail and transport museum As we come up here if we find another Metro train and this is very typically like you get in Finland see the corrugated And sides of the train you'll see I've seen some of the trains at the main railway station Have these corrugated sides. Here we can go in. It's been cut in half before carriage. Only half it's been preserved, but Better than none of it being preserved It might be wrong, but I think there might be some similar ones still in service I saw an older one crossing the bridge earlier. When I go to cities like this I tend to I tend to concentrate on the trams. I'll use the metros to get me to the tram So to get here I went to the end of metro line 13 But and the trams are my sort of main interest metros come second Get a great view here over the museum. See the tops See the pantographs on the trams. This bus we can't quite go in but we can have a look Yes, you know, we've got to the left hand drive era. This bus is left hand drive And that's inside it You can't smell this because you're watching but the smell never changes. I love the the vintage bus smell We've got enough. I think this is a trolley bus. Yeah, look Steering wheel here, steering wheel there. So that one is trolley bus is right hand drive That's left hand drive. I'm not a hundred cent sure it's possible that the trolley bus is ended at the same time As the trams when they switched from over, you know, to driving on the other side of the road We got here Do you know when you get that feeling of being watched? It's kind of how I feel at the moment Um Well, I'm breaking the fourth wall here. I'm being watched. I was being watched in and hopefully I'm being watched now Hopefully someone's watching this video But yeah, so that's adding to the point of it's not just the train museum I've not yet seen a museum preserved cctv cameras, but I think that's great that they have To have a wander around so the museum is located on four floors. It's not a small museum. I've got lockers A little um children's corner there with books lockers there There's the back of trolley bus 96 So we go through into here And this is all about I think the trolley bus here. So there you go. Look at the picture there I think I recognize that bridge. I think I walked under that this morning So this is all about the trolley buses you can see We can go in we can go into this trolley bus Oh So this is the interior Of uh swedish trolley bus There is one town in sweden today that does have trolley buses The name's on screen now Very small town. I'm going to have to go there one day. It looks quite exciting So you can ride a trolley bus in sweden and um Just sure what that is some of the Oh, I see it's for I understand it like cleans the carbon monoxide. So yeah, perhaps look the exhaust of the bus Would go in there and somehow it cleaned the bus. I just saw on that video a picture of a bus pulling one I think that's what it was if you're watching and I'm incorrect I'm sure you'll tell me Let's now go up to the third floor So else we can find it might find A few more trams. So yeah trolley buses buses and metros and oh and now We come to the this is the nautical themed part of the museum. Of course stockholm is located on different islands So boats are very much a part of stockholms transport Most of the fuels are frozen at the moment. I have seen a few boats That's model split apart so you can see inside So here we can see the various ferries. I'm not so into boats Although it's becoming a bit of a joke when I got up to scotland I've started taking down the names of the ferries because I think well, it's not that many and I've seen nearly all the trains in scotland So it's like something else. I'm not going to start taking down boat numbers Not here anyway What else have we got? Let's go Around so get fantastic views wherever you look over the museum You can make your way around to the very top floor. I'm probably going to go down have a coffee That's promised. I will have to have a ride on the miniature train and um that will probably without me really thinking about it start a Minuterella europe you may watch my minuterella britain series might start minuterella europe series. Well, look If you feel like you're walking on a museum you just want to sit down you can sit on old metro seat Brown McKair It'd be quite fun if I was going somewhere That's another view got the trams metro the miniature metro All around so I can see down the other end some some very old trams um I'll tell you why I think they're very old in a second because Let's make for the right moment to reveal this the reason why I'm saying they're old So down there as I said they're all electric the trams You can see the pantographs quite obviously The reason this tram I'm saying is probably the oldest one in here It's got a horse on the front. So that's a horse drawn tram I like horse drawn trams in some ways a bit of a debate when you get one for haulage Obviously can't really count the horse because it's not always the same horse that pulls number 12. So I would Just say I've traveled on number 12 This is a really it's also very small tram horses. Obviously couldn't pull the bigger trams But you know, they worked really hard the horses that would pull the trams you see inside there Looking out the window You can see much where we started down there a little bit dull now this thing this is fun. It's like a towstrap It's not a tram. It's it's a bus So in the summer because obviously you wouldn't probably want to ride on that today. It's a bit cold But in the summer, you know, they have warmish summers you could ride on this This is all horse drawn bus number 22 and I think this is also This is not a towstrap. It's got, you know, um, longitudinal seating inside Dot home central omnibus line and yeah, it's horse drawn and there's an old horse and carriage We're going to walk around here now. We're going to go up to the top floor and we'll see what we can find up there There is she got some clocks here from different eras Here's some clocks. So it's all really quite interesting. Yeah, all the clocks of the transport around It's all quite exciting So that's it's all quite good now. There's something here Do this a bit fun. It says can you be faster than public transport? So don't look at this. It says Push the button wait for the green light go and then you check your result on the screen by the finish line So, yeah, if you look there, there's a red light. I'll press this green button I'm gonna have to You have to run so as soon as the light goes green Am I doing this faster than public transport? I don't know. It's not often I go rushing around in museums get to here Well, okay, I was going at 12 to 16 kilometers an hour That is pretty cool. So I must be going about the speed of a tram that was yeah a bit random and Feel puffed out now what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna leave this bit here I'm gonna go up to the top floor and we'll see what we can find in the final part of this video So here we are. We're on the top floor in the loft and this floor tells the story the evolution of public transport in stock on families filing cabinets here and In one of the drawers here. There's a piece of paper from the 1960s Showing you what they predicted Transport in stock on be like in the year 2000. Have a look So while the metro has expanded, um, we don't have hover buses or Sort of shows helicopters. There is we have so it has it's developed The metro is being extended as we speak tram lines are being extended as we speak It's interesting here on this board. It shows a picture of a steam tram So replacing the horse-trom trams actually had some steam trams and they were better in that they could go faster They could climb hills They weren't you know, it's just where they weren't traced at all on the horses There's a good map here. This gives you an idea I'm so about Stockholm being on island. So this is the city centre around here. We're up here There's a line tram line down Here and it had to go on a replacement bus. I went on it this morning I had to go on a replacement bus to about here because they've rebuilt the bridge So I took the metro to here rock sting. I might be saying that wrong or probably am So that's where we currently are There's a hole in the floor and I can just see a roof of a metro train below There's a good map here now as for Stockholm and its public transport So yeah, if you look here, these are the newest metro trains you see It's public transport. I understand for the size of the city It's got the most dense metro system anywhere possibly in the world See what looks like quite a big map. So this is where we are. We're here So I did this line here very scenic And tram line but has more of a light rail feel. I had to go on the bus between here and here because it's on another island They've rebuilt the bridge There's this tram line here. This is the only real bit of Stockholm's original trams street riding tramways That's currently closed. So I haven't had a ride on that Yesterday I did route. I filmed all of route 30 drivers. I'd be all the way around here That was really good fun. And then there's a short route 31 which will be extended round to here The other really charming tram route is from Alvik. Is this one here? It's really nice. It's locally known as Tolvun. So that's if you go to Stockholm A lot of the tram that the metro is above ground. So you can have some really nice rides So it's really good fun. Look at this. It's a boat here So you can actually if you want to you can dress up. I noticed downstairs There was a small boat. I didn't preach that in the video. There were children They'd all got little life jackets. So there's a horse. Yes, let's say Stockholm had plenty of horses for its public transport It demonstrates. So what I was saying horses Were not very happy And Scott Pills, they couldn't really pull them. So that's where steam trams came in. It's interesting here Look, there's a picture of Stockholm in 1901 And we can move to 2020 So it's got some That's always interesting to see we're going to walk through always love past and present seeing how something was How it is now Get to here Here we have Look modern lot of steam tram have a look Now what he's saying It's been a bit of an accident. There's a mess On the road the steam tram has frightened the horse the horse has bolted and Yeah, everything has fallen out the back of the horse and car and That's the driver to steam tram pretty much saying well. Yeah, it's not my fault. So that's quite interesting Here we have it's like It's the side of a boat because if we go inside There's a lady there. She's a passenger Yeah, that's a passenger. I think you can listen to a commentary Um, and there that's the steam engine That a boat would have used Come out here some quite interesting things. Look, we've got building a giant model of a building. Look, it's like the same size Me it's taller than me. You can see there. I love it. It's all made of wood. It's really it's a really nice model Like the scaffolding it's like the building itself isn't actually that interesting but the scaffolding is A work of art in itself with all the all the stairs going down Now here is where we move on to the electric here. See this interesting looking vehicle. It's got a boat collector See the two gentlemen in their top hats They're sort of looking up in amazement. They've never seen anything like it before So that's what they're doing. It's like, what's this? It's a we've never seen this That's quite interesting Well, so we got Some models there of some of the trams. So I understand they had a trams that ran Um into the tunnels. Oh look, this is fun stepping into a tram. It's like a simulator Probably just as well. It's not showing the whole route because I probably would just stand here all day Which they said a little bit more Yeah, I'd love I'd love to see that whole film Come out here. I've got something It's like a fairly dark cabinet. I'm gonna press this button. It's coming to light It's daylight and we have a rather nice model tram way There is a tram there. I don't know if it's going to go or not. It'll be nicer if it did Um, I'm not sure. So he can we can have a look at the model. So you've got the tram step over here Tram running along sort of semi-rural. I think the women's be out of scale, but then you get passing some building work as a Roots coming off here tram junction passing more buildings here You can see inside to the sewing machine the ladies looking out the window If you look first hole here, you can see the end of tram line Or at least I thought you could We're gonna walk through into here now Get the engines or buses. So let's see it's showing you the pistons how bus engines would have worked And you've been down there various different types of buses And here we have another model Of this is what I sound about when the trams sort of crossed over to metro It looks like this is the end of a metro line I think you can do the same thing And put the light on so you can see it a bit better, but It seems a bit of I don't know if that's supposed to go around it seems a little slightly disappointing They're not going around but it looks like this was the end. You can see it's like a whole I get the ends of tram loops and if you look here you can see Underground station art have been really fun To watch the trams go around but or trains whatever they are metro But yeah, perhaps you won't today Give you a look out that window The snow outside So I think that pretty much brings us to the end of this video. There's one other thing More front to metro trains See this metro Train cab here if we go inside there I spotted something something else quite fun. Look at this It's got a simulator again. I'm not sure if they're showing the whole route, but yeah Has just skipped forward. We're just coming into a station. So I could watch that all day if it was the whole film So thank you very much for watching if you're in stock on do come and visit this museum It's it's at the end of metro line 13. Thank you very much. Please feel free to like, subscribe and comment. Goodbye
