This is seriously impressive. Being a big fan of the Underground and its history, I love this. I even call the oldest section at 0:14 “The Original Seven” or “The First Seven”. I also like how it includes the original names of existing stations before changing them to their current ones. The amount of research that must have gone into the making of this… Just… wow!

[@timw.8452]

As a Londoner, I think this is a wonderful record of the development of our transport system, and also one of the most interesting KZbin films I've ever seen. I hope KZbin take note of items of historic interest and don't ever take them down. Congratulations to MetroCucumber.

Awesome. London is a world in itself, and the rail network makes it incredibly accessible. I love travelling in London, and it's the ease of getting around on the rail network that really pulls me in. Can't wait to get back there and continue exploring. So much of the rest of the country doesn't know what it means to be 20 mins walk or less from a rail station, and then being able to access the entire city in an hour at speed, without getting rained on! No parking worries, and an easy trip back home. Love getting around on the tube and rail in London.

I watched Geoff Marshall’s version many times and for some reason I can still hear his voice detailing all the extensions, closures and new lines. The level of research and detail here is absolutely incredible though… hats off to you!

You NEED to do an updated version in a few months with TFL Rail turning purple and becoming Crossrail/the Elizabeth Line. It would have a rather nice symmetry to it, considering how the video begins with a new purple line under central London that goes east-west to Paddington. But either way, this is an absolute masterpiece!!! Geoff will have no trouble admitting it puts his version to shame.

@@transportationuk7656 The real question is when the three sections will join up. - When the new section opens, it will initially only be Paddington to Abbey Wood - you'll have to change trains at Paddington to go to Heathrow or Reading, or at Liverpool Street to go to Shenfield.

Awesome. What I'd like to add is distinction between building a new infrastructure vs taking over from railways. Also not everything is shown here. There were District line trains to Southend, and the Bakerloo tunnel was used by some trains of more distant destinations.

@@Любадрель-у9з From 1933, London Transport operated and owned all underground lines.

Most commuter services are privately owned (with the private rail in the UK) Being put back into Government ownership by 2023/24 (С 1933 года компания London Transport управляла и владела всеми линиями метро. С 2003 года, когда TfL стала чем-то вроде Overground, Underground, Trams, DLR, Busses, Crossrail, все они принадлежат и управляются TFL.
