Fantastic video, really like how the driver is very open and honest talking about work, really like this video.

[@billymillest1529]

i really believe out of all the cab rides i have been on so far and all the drivers i have met so far he is the one that if i asked anything to and i mean anything he would of told me the truth and been willing to answer it. i did one whole other part to this cab ride that i did not film due to him wanting to just get to talk to me and point out some safety features first so i missed one big part out but i got to film the main of the line so i am happy. he was the nicest driver ever. out of all the cab rides i am glad that it was this line i got this treatment on as its my favorite line the Central Line and also my favorite stock of trains the 1992 stock

52:33 The abandoned Wood Lane station and to the right side, is the secret track to the loop and to the reversing siding to the depot

[@evanslater4551]

I like it how before Bank station there are a lot of curves on the track that slowly seem to get bigger, curve by curve before coming out into the station which has a massive curve, leaving a bigger gap than usual between the train and the platform edge. Just like embankment station.

[@billymillest1529]

Evan Slater I agree and love it on both ends lots it’s fab and a lovely station on the Central Line

[@evanslater4551]

It is I remember about quite about 7-9 years ago for a while when I was about 5 - 8 I used to have appointments at Moorfields Eye Hospital in Old Street and I used to go up there on a day off school, with my mum and we used to take the tube and change from the Central line to the Northern line at Bank. I also remember on the eastbound platform there used to be an announcement of a woman who used to say "mind the gap" on the platform. Nowadays a different recording is used. I wonder what happened to her recording and if it is still used somewhere on London Underground. Anyway, this was how my love for the tube began

[@billymillest1529]

Evan Slater I really liked that too with it when I was a kid it felt so huge the gap and I’d jump off! I wonder what also happened to that lady too who did the announcements

[@evanslater4551]

ik because for like 5 years there has been a man doing the announcement.

[@leonardssenkindu5802]

Is it hard to learn to drive a tube train, because I’m thinking of changing my career, wow, this tube line is my old line, I was born in Walthamstow 1983, moved to Leyton in May 1984, I’ve travelling on the central line since 1984 when I was baby and I got used to the Central line than Victoria line, I left Walthamstow very early when I was young, but I got used to Central line, but now I find it boring now, It feels like it’s slow, because of the journey, but now I got my own flat in Custom house and use the Jubliee line via Canning Town, but I’ve travelling on the tube for 35 years, I would go to west end, South West, North London and other part of London a lot in the 80’s, I know the those areas more than the opposite direction, but now I’ve seen this video, it’s good

[@aaronthompson1354]

leonard ssenkindu not really if you know the basics you won’t struggle

[@SirStoneyOfBow]

The training is intense from what I recall from friends who are operators. I think there’s 4 months of training and the exams are rigorous. A good few never make it after the introductory exam.

[@bucephalus00]

It's not easy to get a job on the tube in any capacity, the jobs don't come up too often

Just to be sure of what I am watching. Is the train a 1992-built train or did you shoot the video back in 1992? Either way, very good cab ride video of the Central line. Love those cab ride videos of the London Underground. Greetings from Schiedam, Holland.

[@ryanrtw]

It is a new video, shot from a train built around 1992 (the London Underground 1992 Stock). :)

[@billymillest1529]

Sorry for the really late reply I saw your comment and thought I had replied the stock of Train is a 1992 built that’s what the stock of trains are known as this was filmed in March of 2017 if it was back in 1992 we may of still seen the previous stock out and about. Glad you enjoyed the video anyway

[@coastercrafter1productions300]

These are faster than LA Metro and NYC

[@drakeil]

I think NYC (Native here) trains are limited to 45 MPH. I do not know about LA but I know Washington D.C. trains can hit 90 on the surface tracks. Back in 1980 I was able to see the controls and they had three readouts: white was the actual speed, green was the recommended set speed and red was "danger", I assumed (derailment above that speed?). The Red line in Maryland going to Shady Grove had all three at 90. 50-55 was top for underground. The Chicago Els would be good competition for these trains. I used www.urbanrail.net/ to follow this train along its route: they have ALL the lines in the world presently running.

[@lovetheliv]

Does anybody know the best way to get a cab ride? I've sent a letter to TfL customer services. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

1:16:41 was the line supposed to go forward?

[@still_guns]

Probably did once, but there's still the mainline to the right.

[@johnnyparker1258]

On earlier tube maps when the line was being extended up to West Ruislip, there was originally plans to extend the line two stops up to Denham Station, however due to the War this was cut back to West Ruislip, the through route at the end may be a relic of the cancelled plans I assume.

No they don’t, all lines pretty much operate different stock and even if some lines operate the same stock the driver will only train for one line due to the fact the each line have their own challenges. Hope that explains a bit 👍

The central line runs automatically, driver presses a button to make the train go

Terrible goings on inside this cab, the driver being distracted by a fellow holding him in conversation when the driver should be fully concentrating on his driving and observation of track and signals. You would not get away with this type of antics if you were a main line driver driving on the National Network. Here you would be considered to be a driver at risk hence stood down from the job.

This train has is fully ato its run by its self. Driver only has to open the door at stations and close it. So he is not being distracted or anything mate.
