It's an iPhone, you choose which lens to use (x1, x2 or x5), and are stuck with it for that clip. Due to digital destination displays breaking up when videoing you have to use the x5 to keep them clear. If I used the x2 which I would prefer, the displays flicker

Very nice Bakerloo Line Trains Thought... What the heck?!! But why are they spraying paint on trains like it's subway surfers again?! There is no high security with powerful dogs at the depot all night. When the last train went to the depot. All the trains should be put into the depot garage, NOT outside. There is graffiti again to waste! What kind of expected this? I am absolutely shocked! See 2:40sec.

Brings back memories, when I used to go to school in Stoke Newington whilst living with my mum in Kensal Green. I loved it. The trains would teavel from Watford Junction to the then Broad Street (B2) via Primrose Hill. It was a semi-fast service that didn't stop at Caledonian Road & Barnsbury and Canonbury, and it took 4 minutes from Dalston Junction to Broad Street. Those days have surely gone, but loved it to see the fast trains especially the class 85/86/75 express electrics running to and from Lindon Euston. I could go on, but I will stop here.

Brilliant video Peter. Always intrigued with overground and underground sharing on lines. Makes deep tube trains look tiny compared to the overground. Bakerloo 72’s like Piccadilly 73’s (soon to be replaced) keep heritage going for us enthusiasts. I guess London Was Underground sends out any trains with graffiti even though years ago trains were put out of service until they were cleaned up. Brilliant video. Always look forward to the next one 😀.

@BristolRE4 күн бұрын
They were much better in terms of engine sounds, a more basic interior but much more comfortable in my opinion. Generally fast as well, once they had built up speed. For some perfect engine sounds, fast forward 6-8 minutes for the bus to get going, then watch this with your volume turned up! kzbin.info/www/bejne/f3TSln6EopuZmrM

I wonder why some electric blinds flicker and others don't with a phone camera? I like taking pictures of buses and the electric blinds are a nuisance. Seems to be easier to get a picture when the blind is white for some reason but it's not consistent at all. It don't like the orange at all!
@BristolRE5 күн бұрын
In most cases a slower shutter speed, ie below 1/150 will stop the flickering. Drawback to that is if the bus is moving you may get motion blur, so you need to photo them on bus stops etc

You may have to cap your video to 30fps in the top left corner to stop the flickering, although I think that would then cause flickering on the newer TFL blinds that run at 60fps

30fps doesn't play back smoothly. It's actually the shutter speed that causes it, on a normal camera usually need lower than 1/150

Intalink (Hertfordshire's travel information authority) announced Uno is taking the 242 over on Monday to Saturday, with the full route getting an hourly service. This is much better overall but is a lower frequency in Cheshunt. I just hope Uno has improved by a lot, they were really rubbish when I used them a few years ago so hopefully they hired many new staff. They must've given they run several TFL routes, like the 298 now.
