How the Tube Works | Guide to the London Underground!

[@marcuspethurst2939]

The map used is soo old. The East London Line closed as part of the underground in 2007. You also mention Waterloo is served by three lines, it is actually 4 lines, Bakerloo, Northern, Jubilee and Waterloo & City.

[@davidstone408]

Elizabeth Line - is not an underground line but is part of the Network - can save huge amounts of time. Plus air conditioning on the Tain and in the stations.

[@StrikeEagle14]

Kinda confusing using a really old map that still mentions the east London line and doesn’t include the Elizabeth line and overground. The zones are incorrect too

[@Wanyeee]

I recently used an app to buy tickets at a great discount because they’re running a promotion. I can share it with you if you’re interested!

[@starflyer3219]

Thank you for the tip about Citymapper! I was recently in London and it worked like a charm.

[@JP_TaVeryMuch]

I think that an older map was used because it's clearer and any visitor won't be using this very video but a map app or paper one. An example being the plethora of accessibility icons now. Here 3:44 there's just the one.

[@Zhi-u6j]

Thank you ❤

[@jdillon8360]

Good explanations. The map used is out of date, but it is still a useful introduction to the system for anyone who isn't familiar with London transit. Newer maps are more accurate but also overwhelming as they show other lines that aren't strictly part of the tube network.

Don't use an Oyster card, it;s just as cheap to tap your credit card

[@JoshLStuff]

Unless you have a reason to use it, such as a discount (which young travellers can have on a Visitor's Oyster). I use mine due to the Railcard discount. It's also useful for anyone who doesn't have a contactless card to use

[@j.s3300]

If youre clumsy...using your oyster is better because losing it isnt as bad

@@Wanyeee Hey! I;m going to the uK soon- can you share it with me, pls?

[@strontvlieg01]

So with both methods, you pay for your ride when you tap on your last stop when you go out?

[@asrano88]

Is the Overground the same as the Underground when it comes to payment? I don't have to worry about buying in advance?

[@Puolukkaviili]

Yup

[@car_tar3882]

Yes. And most network rail services can be paid for with oyster if you are within the tfl fare zones but I’d look it up because I’m not 100% sure

[@monicatoro2286]

I got completely lost this year in February, I was using city mapper and I remember it saying Northbound or something like that but then it said Southbound (?) and I almost started crying cause I really think the app didn't make it clear which line I needed to find; I now realise it was two different vias and I just couldn't find a sign for the one I needed. My boyfriend had to come to rescue me cause I was so frustrated (I usually understand maps extremely well). I still don't understand it very well, but might try again if I visit in December.

[@fincarosa]

Great vid!

[@Wanyeee]

There’s this app where I’ve been snagging some really economical tickets recently-they have a current promotion. I can share the details with you if you’d like.

[@slinkysmom5674]

I know it’s basic but I wish just one how to video would not go so fast and skip over the signage in the station. Explain a sign for a train that may have 2-4 different destinations. Which train do you get on? There are many videos telling people about an app but it helps to know the basics too.

[@sats7819]

We are UK residents and we still have no confidence in which way the trains are going. North, east, south, west. It should be displayed on the train.

That Tube map at the beginning is so old the circle line is still an actual circle.

[@DrivingGod21]

The underground is not smooth. It is loud, shaky, and full of vibrations.

[@keith1222]

Like cars?

[@DrivingGod21]

@@keith1222 I'm not defending cars, I'm just saying compared to other Metro systems it's quite loud. I love public transit, but even the light rail system in my city is more comfortable than the tube.

[@DrivingGod21]

@eternityisinthemoment3543 No the people are usually pretty civil. Nothing like the public transport in big NA cities.

[@jdillon8360]

@@DrivingGod21 Most tube systems are loud. Especially the older ones, which London is. Comparing a tram to a heavy rail system isn't really fair.

[@maccomplex]

How can you convince us to buy your full course when you use an old outdated tube map :facepalm:

[@NHLFrenzy]

The map you used is really weird.

[@pickle2636]

really old

[@crabit]

Very ancient maps and bad examples (since most charing cross trains now go to battersea power station that doesn’t exist on your map). Also the double arrow doesn’t mean “overground national rail”. Overground is a network much like an underground within and around london that a tourist also could use and you didn’t even mention that it’s there (not in your pre 2007 map of course), so this video is only going to confuse people

[@mildlydispleased3221]

The DLR is included on this map but not the tram, overground and Elizabeth line?

[@epmorris]

Oyster works on trams (you just tap at the platform before getting on) but uses a different fare system to the trains.

[@mildlydispleased3221]

@@GeekyScot I know, I'm just wondering why the DLR is included on this map but not other TfL services like on the standard tube map

[@mildlydispleased3221]

@@epmorris I know, but the trams are included on the regular tube map.

[@epmorris]

It looks like an old map, the East London Line is shown as an underground line too, so likely pre-2007

[@mildlydispleased3221]

@epmorris So if a tourist watched this video and then tried to read a modern map, they'd be confused by all the Overground and Thameslink spaghetti.

[@amannaikwade3118]

2.40£ . Wtf 😳 Its expensive

honestly you guys are lucky, what an expansive system you can go basically anywhere with it

[@amannaikwade3118]

[@tw2414]

It’s capped at 40£ to £60~ per week based on what zones you travel to. This also includes buses

[@JP_TaVeryMuch]

​@@matthuntelaar8486 In order to answer your question, more information is necessary. You'll find it easy to go on to the tube's website: TfL gov.uk where you can put in which zone your accommodation is in, which one you need to travel to, how many adults and children... all sorts of details if you want... and then it will show you various ticketing options.
