    Fabulous, can't wait to ride it in two weeks. See you Elizabeth Line! 😊
  • Paddington was the first station have fire alarm go off when it first opened
  • @stevieinselby
    One issue with extending the services further out from the existing termini is that the class 345 trains were designed for relatively short distance suburban services. Reading is already a stretch, but it gets away with it because most people travelling from Reading to London are likely to use GWR services rather than spending an hour on a stopping service just to get to Paddington – but if the trains were intended to replace existing services for through passengers then you would want to rethink things like the seating layout and lack of toilets.

    Great to start the year with a new video from TrainsOnTheBrain 🙌 Super interesting and thorough video as always, Nick!
  • @AndrewG1989
    It's so nice to see the Elizabeth Line in service. Hopefully in May people who use the Elizabeth Line can go from Shenfield to Heathrow Airport Terminals 2 & 3, Terminal 4 and Terminal 5 and Shenfield to Reading as well.
  • @BPMR
    Great Video, I wonder how long it took to put this video together. Great to see you back. 😃
  • @Bornflyhuhu
    19:19 I loled so hard when you showed Ali G when Staines was mentioned 😂😂
  • @johnrafferty8087
    Not blowing smoke up you. This is the most Video I have seen in some time.
  • Thanks - great list. Maybe 102 would be that (after the magnificent effort of 5 on the Victoria line) the Elizabeth line has 0 new cross-platform interchanges with other lines - only the one at Stratford (with the Central) which was already there ...
  • @lmj9517
    elizabeth Line = purple train! "i only wanna see you riding on the purple train..."
  • @pikachu8508
    Good for those Londoners who get a nice railway infrastructure. Meanwhile those in the north get exactly nothing.......even some major railway lines including Huddersfield line and MML are still unelectrified.

    13 at some stations you have to do a lot of walking and there’s steps but no escalators
