This is a what if.... but, I believe that If Keith Moon, had not passed and had better access to the proper Healthcare back then and had done what Ringo had Decided to do by drying out completely from the Alcohol. His more joyous , Gleeful and Fun side would have been PERFECT as the role of JR. Conductor. Starring with Ringo on "Shining Time Station" & Subsequently, "Thomas & The Magic Railroad. The Wild Man he was, but Ringo and Keith partnered together that way would have been Stellar as Mr. Conductor and Cousin JR. Better still, one can imagine a rewritten Thomas and the Magic Railroad where Alec Baldwin's respective Mr.Conductor had to get ahold of each individual Conductor Cousin.... George Carlin coming Back and then Keith as JR.....With them All realizing they now have to call "Richard"..... The First Conductor Cousin, up at the North Pole, to come back to Shining Time to help them with protecting "Lady" The Lost Engine. Along with the supply of Gold Dust that kept the Magic Railroad between the Island of Sodor and Shining Time Linked. Keith was for certain the hard partying guy he was, but he Also seemed as if he genuinely Liked, Respected and had Admiration & Reverence for the art of early vaudeville type entertainment ,physical comedy ,and Stage performance.

It's great that science has moved on and we no longer spend billions of dollars on technologies that can never be made to work.

This video was made several years ago. It is now 2024 and things have only got worse. Depending on which TOC you are the victim of, you may find yourself being told "When leaving the train with heavy luggage, step down onto the platform first" or "please use the hand rail when stepping from the train onto the platform". If the train stops ten times you will be told this ten times. On GWR and Thameslink, you will have to endure a list of all remaining stations announced on departure from every stop, followed by "the next station is..." Yes we know, you've just told us. They argue that some people need these announcements. Really??? How ever do they manage to find their way to and from stations without being continually bombarded by intrusively repetitive and crassly patronising announcements? Furthermore, when did people start to need them? 30 years ago there were hardly any on board announcements and nobody suffered for it.

Very interesting to see real old underground trains in Thames Tunnel! Such great quality! Many thanks for the video! Today’s Overground trains are much more boring :(

The East London Line closed in 2007 and since it’s reopening in 2010 has been part of the Overground instead of the Underground. Shoreditch Station no longer exists, but now we have Shoreditch High Street Station.

The sad truth is that the Victoria Line was built on the cheap and 'just good enough' principles of what has been killing Britain for over a century. This film shows the skill and hard work that we had, but everything on the Victoria Line was built down to a cost. Offer skilled men double time to make stuff on the cheap (when Japan was building millimetre perfect railways that still take Bullet Trains). The line was overcrowded within 4 years of opening. It has had a massive upgrade to make it a 90 second interval service at most stations: the stations are so bad at rush hour I'd rather take a bus if I have the time.

I guess i was lucky enough to work on it. Interesting line, Wapping was good. Interesting tunnel there! Worked on it till it closed its doors for good! Still, i think the overground has expanded the network greatly!

Meanwhile, here in Britain, we wage through two world wars, see millions dead and then spend billions in reconstruction and developing a new infrastructure. We also invest thousands of man hours and many years into peace negotiations and trade agreemeents, to become a founding member of a united Europe, without barriers and without confliction. Years later, we elect a self-serving Prime Minister called Cameron, who guides the nation into a referendum called Brexit, where we literally take a century of political upheaval and throw the whole lot back into the face of all those who toiled, fought and died so that Europe might remain united in solidarity. But not to worry. The UK government has since hired the former PM as the Secretay of State, so he can represent the UK in Europe. You couldn't make it up. The GREAT BRITAIN you see in the Look at Life videos made 60+ years ago, is long, long gone....

Living in Kent, these were our "bread and butter" units for many years, along with the 2 haps, until the Veps crept in during the 70s. The unrefurbished units were sooo comfortable but I do remember the water slopping to and fro in the early double glazing. Happy memories...

Can't deny Thames made so many great programmes not just for their own interests but that with their fellow franchise holders across the ITV network and for all viewers. Irony in this considering that ITV is now one company and a shadow of what is was before.

@leeosborne3793 8 ай бұрын

Thames really were superb, the ITV region I spent my whole childhood in - I was 18 when they went off air. I felt the loss of TVS at the same time very keenly too, as they made a lot of shows I really liked. I feel for the people affected by this, they really were shafted by a system that was unfair and a process that wasn't clear. Of course, there's plenty who think Thames' downfall was linked to their "Death On The Rock" documentary - Thatcher was furious when that aired.
