District Line driver's eye view: Richmond to Upminster

A trip on London Underground's District Line from the front of an S7 stock.
Filmed with an externally mounted GoPro hence the excellent track and motor sounds.

[@jefflovesjets8116]

I was about 12 years old when I asked the driver if I could see the cab at Richmond, he let me stand in the cab during this journey where I got off at Earl's Court so I could head back to Ravenscourt Park to go to school. It was a truly amazing experience to be able to see that and thanks for the reminder of that view I had about 35 years ago.

I hadn't realised it was so dark in the tunnels - I don't know how the drivers do it! Huge respect to them. It must be a lonely and stressful job, and yet millions of people depend on them every day.

Yup, definitely can't be afraid of the dark

Don't forget that the camera generally sees less well than the human eye. Our eyes automatically adjust their "exposure" to account for low light conditions. Cameras aren't as versatile.

Great video. Many thanks. When I was a boy (nearly 60 years ago) I spent part of my holidays with my aunt and uncle in Wembley riding around the underground. Now I can do it from the comfort of my armchair - and get a better view. I love the section west of Victoria where the line cuts through the streets and buildings, so interesting.

[@peterthill]

The ride between the dark Tunnels and the bright Stations reminds me to An American Werewolf In London when the Werewolf came out of the dark and hunt the passenger down the bright Station. Anyway it was a great ride. Thx for having me 👍

[@montgomeryrichard]

From Gunnersbury to Richmond was ( maybe still is) run by British rail in the 70’s not London underground. In 1967 I used to travel after rush hour frequently picking up documents/receipts for a London restaurant company while student, and taking to London head office. One of the drivers I knew allowed me into the cab at Gunnersbury and drive the train to Richmond and same if he was driver on my return journey! There was no cctv and wearing peaked cap no problem when passing British rail signal boxes. Never a problem. He took over when approaching Gunnersbury and I went into first carriage through driver’s door. I still remember the controls after all these years. In 70’s was going to work on underground as electrician as friend was one of chief electricians, but never thought of becoming driver. Watching this brings back memories.

[@nanba25]

[@nelsonknight2784]

Great video. Brought back memories from 1971 when I lived in West Kensington and worked on the District Line as a guard (long since gone I believe). I did do driving stints quite often during my year there and my last shift before heading back to NZ was this very run out to Upminster. Regular service stopped at Mansion House and then we became a staff only train. Parked at Upminster for the night and first train back east in the morning. Loved my time working there. Keep up the great videos

[@PSYCHIC_PSYCHO]

You must have driven CO/CP and R Stock trains; unfortunately I was born in July 1974 thus wasn't a adult so got very little exposure to the old District Line trains, the 60's and 70's period had my favourite Underground trains

Wow, the signals kinda give me slight anxiety. I mean, you really have to be on your toes so that you don't pass through reds. And also those little yellow/black and green arrow signs to line up the train to, I'm guessing, to see the CCTV in the cab/or at that little board? I've honestly heard a lot of people say that driving a train is easy because it's "stop and go", well, from what I got from this video and I'm only 15 minutes in, is that actually, it really is bloody difficult! The liabilities of the job (potentially dangerous/life-threatening/safety of passengers), how you must be concentrating at all times- to not overshoot stations, screw up on those approach + go signals... and more. I bet there's loads of other technicalities that I've missed as I'm no expert and I'm really rather impressed. Fascinating to watch. :)

[@Tonatsi]

It's stop and go but you have to know exactly when to stop and go and how hard to accelerate and break to not make the passengers uncomfortable, which is much harder to do on a train than on a car, or even a truck, as the momentum of one of these units is much more.
