It's amazing how tube drivers drive their trains in the dark, whist steering on the rails without crashing into the walls.
-
It's amazing how advanced the Victoria Line is. I bet it's even crazier with the recently introduced 2009 stock!
-
The trains approach the terminal stations at speed on the Victoria Line due to the long overrun beyond the platforms (2 full train lengths) combined with the ATO, making another Moorgate scenario very unlikely. Most other "end of line" or dead-end platforms will have slower speed ATO or approach controlled signalling for manually driven trains.
-
The Victoria line is my favourite line, used to use it every day when I lived in London years ago, well advanced for its age. It also seemed to be the fastest and most reliable compared with other tube lines. It's pretty much full speed all the way from end to end, and weirdly totally underground if memory serves correctly.
-
Years ago, I did hear that the first drivers (ATOs) were having heart failures due to the trains coming into the platforms so fast! Quite a few returned to their original lines as they couldn't stand it on the Vic.
-
The rumbling noise of the train traveling over the crossover tracks and switches is very calming to me
-
God bless the 1967 Stock. Boy do I miss it. When the 72s on the Bakerloo go, that will be it :(
-
Looking out from the rear window, watching the tracks merge and split is even more amazing.
-
My parents, both now deceased, actually enjoyed the bonus features of this DVD, including the Pathe newsreels showing the building of the line. Dad was amazed they had no hard hats even back then!
-
Apparently Irish people familiar with London refer to The Victoria Line as 'De Blue Bullet'!
-
They should definitely do a drivers eye view on the 2009 tube stock now
-
Nice to hear the old motors of the 67 stock
-
amazing how clean the tracks and tunnels are!! Hell not here in N, Y.
-
amazing switch!
-
Wonder if the crossover at Walthamstow Central is traversed equally quickly by the current 2009 stock
-
I'm a tram and I approve this video! Great footage!
-
The crossover sound is so satisfying
-
Love it .reminds me of our A train going to 207 in NY
-
I can see the 1967 stock having identical controls as a Bakerloo Line 1972 stock. Rear panel left side master key switch Shut down is actually the top switch on the reverse handle Power handle goes emergency to series. Learnt that by playing Train sim world 2 Bakerloo line
-
Great video. ☺️
