The art piece at the end is a graphical representation of a TBM breaking breaking into your tunnel. I think.

back when i use to live like 1 minute away from here, i always use to convince my mother to use this side entrance as for some reason it was always open back when i lived there & the only reason i did this was so i could look into the old thameslink platforms which i was always intrigued by, everyday i would look into these platforms and i think I remember a FCC class 319 running through one time and i was so happy about it but that was the only time i saw a train run past, i’ve been researching this part of the plethora of kings cross railways since like 2022 and i learn more and more the more i research and it really puts myself at east knowing I’m answering an old childhood query and healing my inner-child doing what he loved most.

did you ever do anything on the old Hotel Curve platform? I once got out there as a teenager when the suburban line platforms were blocked prior to it closing. Does any of it still exist?

Absolutely shameful how few views this has gotten! Your channel is in my opinion one of the best and most quirky channels currently making videos about UK infrastructure. The fact that you used pictures from 11 years ago is so cool, as well as the fact that you didn't push any one opinion too strongly! Your animation/3D modelling skills are also very impressive. I will be sharing this!

When that saindbury's opened it was so awe inspiring for me as a child (and the cinema). It was better than the dreary sainsbury's in Woolwich, I don't know who designed that one, it's so awful. I miss the memories of running for my life to get the bus home after shopping with my mum, before life got so awful for no good reason. (cancer mate, my mum told me in the platform level of north greenwich, the best place to tell your child).
@koipen Жыл бұрын
A simple rule of thumb is to follow the signs to 'Euston Road', i.e. the old ticket hall, instead of 'Regent's Canal' which goes to the new one. It's a darned shame they've closed the Pentonville Road exit though, that was fabulously quick for the Victoria line.
@jaketaylor9961 Жыл бұрын
I do miss this store. I would shop there every Sunday with my family. We would all get Starbucks and sit and relax after the shopping. The woman in the meat deli counter would always give me a free slice of ham to walk around with. Heck I was there all the time. After the cinema at night? Straight to Sainsbury's! Literally diagnosed with cancer? Straight down to the Sainsbury's with my family. There's just something about how beautiful the building was, it just made it an absolute joy to be in! When im in Ikea, I do think back and I do really miss it :(

Can I just briefly please make a shout-out for the concept of the "principle", the definition of which inheres in immutability. A principle is something one adheres to, or seeks justification for. It is not something (dear Sainsbury's) that you ditch the next day, because gosh, here is suddenly the antiprinciple. That only implies (thought through) that the anti-antiprinciple is just round the corner. Thereby would principles as such (acc. to Sainsbury's) be worthless. If that is so, we can also ditch common law, which is founded not in codified (Napoleonic) definitions, but in unspoken and thus construable principles (case law). Here, just as a reminder, the principle remains unaltered, and the method for its realisation is subject to jurisdiction (Rechtsprechung).

As an unexpected synchronicity, this link illustrates my argument very well: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mGqcoHqrlpuJaJI (the architecture of Louis Kahn). Every building's principle is humanistic shelter, nought else.

@Distraction Bucket well... I have always wondered if connecting Moorgate to Cannon St would work but I think a new stair or escalator as part of Crossrail precludes it.... hard to grasp the 3D topography though.
@distractionbucket7454 Жыл бұрын
@@peterdowden7694 I had been thinking about doing Moorgate/Liverpool St at some point as I do think it's fascinating with all the Crossrail tunnels down there. As for extending the Northern City further south- I know many years ago there was a suggestion to extend as far as Lothbury (which would have been so short a distance the back of the train would be leaving Moorgate as the front arrived at the new station!) I vaguely recall that going any further than that would have been problematic because of the Central Line/the Bank of England Vaults, but don't quote me on that. Nowadays, the main Moorgate Crossrail escalators do run across the end of the NCL tunnels, I'm not sure about the exact depths, but all the info I can find online suggests the passage between the two sets of escalators is above the Northern line making it about the same depth as the NCL, meaning it probably doesn't leave enough space, but that's only my best guess.
