Last rode a Hitachi to Flemington racecourse around 2012/13. Likely the last

2024 and the Comeng are still the most reliable train on the network. Xtraps worse suspension and rougher ride, seimens worse seats and had plenty of issues. The HCMT's are very good, but the Comeng were the first air-conditioned sets, big windows, arm easily rests on the sills. I'd argue they are the best trains Melbourne has ever had. Love riding them. Push button doors would have been nice but what do you do? Hope they get preserved when they leave service. Hope the Xtrap 2.0 is better than the first xcraps

16:31 they were presvered correction and one is at the Acton Depot museum

Windows and seats line up properly. Rare these days. So why can’t that be managed today? Also a view of the line ahead makes for a pleasing atmosphere

It was much simpler. Its, always amazing tbey can't have the pa in sequence 2 being announced sometimes. Im unsure of the passenger one being hauled

Strange seeing the larhet print why did some have it and not all 😊. Thqt last bit showed pretty old ones manual operating doors. Nice on a hot day standing.

And the gangways connecting the carriages

The Passenger Information Screens in the trains were unusual for a 1990s train

At least we have No. 5034 preserved at the London Transport Museum’s Acton depot. The stock survived in engineering use as a Rail Adhesion Train until March 2018, when it too was scrapped, giving the stock a total life of 57 years. However, on the night of May 24, 2018, was the final time an A stock unit ran under its own power on the London Underground network. Set 5234/6234/6235/5235 worked train 710 from Neasden Depot to Ealing Common Depot. The set was subsequently removed from the adjacent London Transport Museum depot at Acton Town by road for disposal on July 17 and 18, 2018. R.I.P A Stock June 12, 1961 - September 26, 2012.

There were no lift in mrt still isn't it???

Yeah they arent mp73s they are mp59s

The 1996 Stocks probably would have never existed if the 1983 Stocks were okay.

Now the last of the merseyrail PEPs are being scrapped :(

when was this recorded?

Look at the mrt now... Crowded like sardinea

What is tfl rail

You mean final routemaster for now

Why was there a train in the old bay platform?

Ce que j'aime dans cette vidéo c'est le Mi79 la B. 1992 c'est l'année de ma naissance 😊 cette époque me manque tout était parfait et si bien une vie remplie de bonheurs et d'amour et de respect

"WOWW!!"

5:04 Why did the train skipped the station?

Great catches :)

Huh Berlin in 1990 why should i do ? 🤔🚇

I've deduced that the 1990s footage was likely taken on 19 July 1990 as a Flickr image shows the unusual steam loco rake passing through Harrow that Sunday (22 July).

I can’t believe the S-stock trains are 15 years old now time does sure fly

January 2017

1992: goodbye yugoslavia and ussr

Growing up in the 80s and early 90s in Oxford (well Cowley) myself and a few mates would often go down the station on our bikes trying to go down the stairs there (often chased off by the station manager) but never recalled seeing any trains older than the 165 and 166, but noticed an older slam door dmu on the bay platform that would serve Bicester on this video. Nice.

Crazy to think how much of this has been preserved in the modern rail network

I’m waiting for the answer, will you be able to ask the Mayor of London to bring back the Grey Green Buses so they can Replace all of the Arriva Red Buses?

I am born in 2013 and live there it looks so cool

They need to do this to the 1962 stock set aswell the 62 stock is way better

New year 2025

The bombardier’s were pretty much still brand-new in 1998 at only 3-5 years old. When the first 18s debuted into passenger service in 1993, they proved to have an amazing design and beat out the one of the pullman standard’s. The 01700s were only 9-11 years old. The 015 and 01600s were 29 years old in 1998 and 4 years past their expected retirement date.

A60 Stock is my top favorite type in Metropolitan Line, I believe two cars is preserved which is 5034+6110. Couldn't they revived few cars? I wish 4 cars or 8 cars could survive into preservation for heritage services like 1938 Tube Stock...

The ie trams (Irizar) and BD11s (BYD) have entered service in London Buses this year, including GB Kites (Wright) and BZLs (Volvo / MCV)! (That's a suggestion or notice, etc)

MIIIIIINNNNDDDD THHHHEEEE GAAAAAAAPPPP!!!!!!!!!!

Broo old cam

ummm...... I'm newest train

"Mind the gap." "Mind the gap." "Mind the gap." "Stand clear of the doors, please."

1:00 I started my 27 year career at Camberwell in 1969..excellent job and well paid for a junior clerk...happy memories at this station.

1992 c'est mon année de ma naissance

0:00… Wow, old HDB Flats near Redhill MRT…… Sadly, it went en-bloc and replaced to Blocks 19-23 Redhill by 2001

The unrefurbished units sound groany.

Brings back memories 😢

I had no idea trans existed back in Manny 1992. I wish I could go back to the 90s and live my life as an adult.

The year I was born. Thank you so much for sharing. Proud to be a Mancunian born and raised. ❤️

Simplicity of old monorail... Even though it's obsolete and removed.

Love your contrasts videos. We had a video camera in the 1990s but sadly we never took it to London with us. We took a lot of footage in Florida though!

It's funny how footage from more than about 20 years ago always looks quaint by comparison with today. The same thing will happen to the 2015 footage in due course even though we can't quite imagine it at the moment.
