I absolutely hate how this station has been brutalised, the soul and character has been ripped out of a once characterful station. Less is more.

The front doors remained closed because the ‘end door cut out’ button was pressed (to be used when a train overruns the platform slightly) and needs to be reset before the normal open and close door buttons become in sync with the rest of the circuit.

They fit on 300 , D3 and 276

Wow, what a crazy fully smoke place the steam train in the King's Cross... Wasn't told NOT entry those steam trains going underground service throughout. Remember the building fire caused of serious effect these trains came up the steam train started to smoke at all over the place. It's lucky enough, there are a lot police controls are watch to find happened it is!

7:36 Sarah: The next station is Hammersmith. Emma: District and Piccadilly lines operate from a different station, across the road. Sarah: All change please.

I do miss the A Stock. The A Stock were so much better and the seats were so comfortable. Before the S8 Stock replaced them on the Metropolitan Line.

Woo!! 4 Whole Cars!!! These days, you're lucky if you get a 3-car train on that route!!

The Doors didn't muck around. Loves these. Especially the Vents at the end with Southern Railway on them

Rode on it many times. On School Olidays. Seem to recall ot and Epping to Ongar closures weren't dar abart

I can now understand why the 1972mk1 had the bad reputation on the Northern line, they were notoriously difficult to operate and had technical problems. It was basically the 7 car, manually driven version of the 1967 stock which included a guard.

I was there too with my bycicle at Gières near Grenoble at 17:00 I remember❤

I remember watching this in early 2023 btw I’m in my moms account

Unrefurbished A stock got some hellfire motor thrash

The Chiltern Main Line opened the way to degrade this line to a local service.

Can you do these 1990s-2024 contrasts to Stockwell by any chance?

Great to see the unrefurbished A-stock and old 115s. Remember travelling on those. However, that was a great catch with the class 101. I never remember seeing those on the Marylebone run. You learn something new! Great video as always!

2:14 I thought 101's didn't work on the Chiltern line only 115's?

7 years on and they still have theses seats which are starting to fall apart. GWR really need to overhaul the interior to have seats like the 803s and 805s

That was a nice exhaust beat on 9466. Almost sounded like 6233 Duchess of Sutherland.

Nice

Gorgeous footage, greetings from Thailand 🇹🇭

Tube Station 🚉

best livery all the newer ones after that look a mess

Is the "Stand clear of the doors please" recorded by Oswald too?

I have a request with the Japanese Trains and Trams.

Excuse me! With all due respect, did you forget all Japanese Trains and Trams?

Wish flagstaff was still as it was in the 90s. No annoying music, no advertising screens, just an underground station that’s like an above ground station. Completely calm and silent. Perfect.

Fantastic contrast. I remember the tube in the 80s when I was a kid. It was dog rough as this video clearly demonstrates.

A lovely record of these interesting trains. Like the CEP's they looked much better before refurbishment and better still with those front wrap around windows

1991 got digital video cam? 😅

Really bizarre seeing London Underground trains in corporate livery this early in the 90s. Now in retrospect, watching this footage and comparing all three trial mockup liveries, LU corporate went with the best and most iconic one.

Kew Gardens isn’t too far from Brentford’s new stadium which is just walking distance. I haven’t been to Kew Gardens but I definitely would like to visit there.

In 1953/54 Glasgow Corporation acquired 46 Green Goddess trams to replace the aging standard trams but were confined to 2 routes due to being 2 ft longer than the Glasgow tram size and was withdrawn by 1960 2 years before Glasgow Corporation Transport closed the tram network. 869 was one of the Goddesses that operated in Glasgow and was renumbered 1055 when painted in Glasgow Corporation livery.

Im somewhere in the crowd that line the Mall on that day! Remember it really well.

When I was a kid in the late 90s we went to kew gardens by train a fair few times. We came down the ECML on stoppers which were also class 313s, and then the north london line to kew (i don't remember where we interchanged? might have involved the underground?). We went on the tube a lot going other places, but those two aforementioned lines were the only national rail routes I experienced as a small child. So in my head, there were only two types of train: "underground trains" (the tube) and "overground trains" (class 313s). Then at some point I learned about high speed intercity services and had my little mind blown.

Absolutely fantastic video thanks -- love that those sapling trees in the 1990s footage still there now. And was that a toot for you on the bridge in 2024? Change from the jobsworth reaction!

I went to this station recently by bicycle.

I used to commute through here from Richmond between 2010-2014 on District Line D-Stock. Fascinating to see how it used to be back in the 90s. I do miss NSE days. Also, I never knew they used 710s on this route now. I've been back there a few times in recent years and only saw 378s.

8:38 Did those doors start opening before the train stopped?

These look and sound amazing, charging at the bus station is also a great idea. Idk why tfl didn't order these for the 358.

Wow, an unpainted white undergound train is so weird. Lazy people eh

Always comforting watching your videos..

I thought the 313's had hustle alarms when they were in Network South East colours. Certainly they did when I first went I on one in 1995.

Trains Station 🚉

Amazing! I lived on North Road right next to Kew Gardens station from 2000-2010 so this brings it all back! The purple Silverlink 313s are what I remember most

Damn that 2010 footage from here (10:24) could pass for the 80's.

I don't suppose you got any footage on board a D78 heading towards Richmond from here back in 1990 as that section of track was most musical to the ears especially with the sound echoing back from the houses.

NSE was so long ago. I always found the North London Line branding very strange (the diamonds with varying different colors), as opposed to the most straightforward ones NSE employed such as with Thameslink.

Great video. I do enjoy these contrast videos.

The NSE signage reminds me of another life.
