I just realised just how much research you do for these videos. I've said it before and I'll say it again, I have no idea why I like your videos so much. I don't live in London, or even the UK. I don't particularly like London if I'm being honest. The whole train thing some people is fascinated about isn't something I care about. My view on the tube is that it should work and be on time when I use it. That's about it. But I absolutely adore your videos. They are almost like a balm for my soul (is that an expression in English?) and kind of feels like meditating. Whatever the reason, thank you.

Really great video series. One thing id note is that the East London line was actually connected to the District/Metropolitan via "St Marys curve". A curve of railway near an abandoned station which you can still see when travelling Eastbound from Aldgate east. Trains used to run via this curve, though i have no source myself on how frequently this was. Most sources seem to indicate the use of the curve was short lived in passenger usage, but remained in place for stock movements before being cut off in the east london line extension works. Wikipedia seems to suggest this service ran 1884-1938, which makes sense as the lines ran multiple odd routes till 1939 such as trains to Southend on the District line. The H+C was born out of trying to remove the complexity of the various branches of the Metropolitan. Its likely the trains in 1933 running the what we now know as the H+C service would use the east london line. Given they eventually terminated at Whitechapel instead - though now extended to Barking mostly to relieve congestion and the reversing platforms being demolished for crossrail.
@paulhaynes8045 Жыл бұрын
I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that some of the Metropolitan trains ran on to the ELL and terminated at New Cross. But I can't remember when that was - probably many years ago. I haven't actually been on the ELL since it became the Overground, so my main memories of it is still of the amount of water that used to pour out of the tunnel (!) and how tiny the old Tube stock looked compared to the vast proportions of the Thames Tunnel! Normal sized trains just won't look the same...

I do remember the East London Line's becoming its own thing, but couldn't tell you the exact date. However, it was closed for several years in the 1990s to refurbish the tunnel (nearly didn't happen, I believe). It wasn't a stub line for long - originally there was a link to the District line and another to Liverpool Street - and now, of course, it links round London!
@ianmoseley99102 жыл бұрын
I used it in the late '70s and at Shoreditch you could see the lines to Liverpool Street just past a mound of sand at the end of the East London line. During the closure they had some public walkthroughs of the Brunel tunnel, which were very popular - waited in the queue for what seemed like hours.

One might argue (here I am feeling argumentative) that with the creation of the Victoria line, the tube had "come together". From then on up to present, its been evolving. (or in the case of the circle line - revolving). The interesting things is London Transport trying to say that the Crossrail "Purple Line" (Reading to Shenfield) is a sort of underground line whereas the Thameslink line (Brighton to Bedford) is just Thameslink and part of BR. London Transport is evolving its remit to the point where the Underground as an entity is starting to get blurred around the edges. Maybe Aylesbury to Southend needs reconsidering? Re-Marooning the suburbs

How about the loco hauled services especially on the Metropolitan out towards Metroland. I remember them in 1957. I was at the Met Office Training School in Stanmore and used the Metropolitan from where I was in digs in Preston Road to Wembley Park before changing onto the Bakerloo. Because they were slam-door coaches and coupled in a rake with a separate loco rather than an EMU, they didn't have a dedicated guard to driver communication and the guard used the brass ferrule on his green flag to short out the wires along the platform which would ring a bell by the driver.

How the Met line was operated is a quite fascinating tale...... It had one Line Controller who controlled all of it including Hammersmith (Met) and the East London Line. The Distict Line Controller controlled the south side of the Circle and of course covered the Met trains from Aldgate East to Barking. Barking train crew depot also had a Met Line roster there and the Barking SM looked after the Met crews. Underground line depots are divided into sections (District East for example is Barking and Upminster) and the Met was similar. Met Line West was Hammersmith and Baker Street, Met Line North was Neasden, Rickmansworh & Uxbridge while Met Line East was Barking, New Cross and Drayton Park). Until OPO conversion started in the early 1980s, Neasden, Rickmansworh & Baker Street crews worked the Met Main and Circle Line, Hammersmith crews just the Hammersmith & City Line, Barking crews the H&C plus a few jobs on the East London Line while New Cross did mostly East London Line plus a few jobs on the H&C. Drayton Park just covered the Northern City, it was still part of the Met empire until closed and handed over to BR! The 38s on there were 6 car trains (2 x 3 car units) and were maintained at Neasden rather than being any part of the 7 car Northern Line fleet of trains, one of these historical oddities...... A friend of mine is an ex train crew manager and worked at Barking in the 1970s, he even had dealings with Driver Newson who was the driver in the Moorgate disaster, he had been a guard at Barking for a while before he got his drivers job at Drayton Park......

Well, a pretty thorough potted history of the Underground in Jago's inimitable style, superb as ever. A couple of tiny additions; the Northern Heights plan was only partially completed but some of this (Mill Hill East-Edgware-Aldenham-Bushey Heath) was due to the introduction of the Green Belt, while the Central Line takeovers were all completed except West Ruislip-Denham. Jago carefully states the East London was the first entire tube line to be transferred out of LT; Aylesbury-Amersham (Metropolitan), which went much earlier, was just a section, and likewise Bakerloo trains which were cut back from Watford Junction to Harrow and Wealdstone (but had never owned the route).

The East London Line is so named (as a distinct "LINE" in all caps) by 1985 at the latest, according to the London Tube Map Archive (www.clarksbury.com/cdl/maps.html). The previous map there (from 1977) only shows it as the East London "Section" (in mixed case) of the Metropolitan Line. (Edit: it looks like the name change happened in 1984-85. There are 2 maps currently listed on a popular auction site that are claimed to be from 1984, one only showing Heathrow Terminal 1 and the "East London Section," the other showing the line to Heathrow Terminal 4 under construction, and the "East London Line" as a separately named "Line.") Funnily enough, I've seen online copies of 2 of Beck's original maps from 1933, one showing it as the "East London Line" and another as the "East London Railway"; but by 1934, it had been absorbed into the Metropolitan Line.

It was still possible in the early 1970s to see the planned Northern Line extensions shown on an enamel route map at EastFinchley station. Like now when the signs have been updated but the 'new' bit of line hasn't yet opened this was covered up with some paper stuck over the relevant bit. However from time to time someone would have a go at removing the paper so there was usually some part of the route to Bushey Heath visible! I don't think that sign ended up in the LT Museum or Depot but would love to know whether it survived somewhere! How about a video on the Underground routes that were traversed for some while after becoming part of the Underground by BR freight trains, that was the case at the Northern ends of both the Northern and Central lines. The East London Line even had steam and later diesel hauled excursion trains using it to reach places like Brighton! Those all finished sometime in the late 1960s.

It is interesting how, back in the “overground Underground expansion” era, everything connected to the network was part of an Underground line. But, following the DLR and especially the Overground, almost everything in the kind of distance & placement nowadays ends up as part of the Overground. (Or occasionally as a DLR extension). The network itself has become the brand, instead of just the Underground. If these overground Underground lines into suburbia, such as much of the Central line, had been built today, I fully expect they would in fact be Overground stations. Hell, a lot of the suburbs along the Central line do also have Overground stations now. But this leads to an interesting problem: the DLR and especially the Overground are far more confusing on the map than the Underground lines, because they’re all the same colour. You need to learn branch names instead of just following colours along a map. And now with the Elizabeth “line” confusing things further, I do wonder if there’s going to be some fundamental redesign within the next fifty years to split these up into various Lines as well. Perhaps along with measures such as eliminating the difference of rolling stock between the Overground and the Subsurface Underground lines, more Underground lines converted to Crossrail spec, or other such developments. I do think, with the increasing crowdedness of the TfL Map and everything, being able to somehow return to unique colours could potentially be useful, especially if the Overground continues to expand/action routes, if more Crossrail happens, and so forth. We should probably expect the network to be almost as unrecognisable in 2121 as today’s network would look to the lads running the show in 1921.

I lived in London from 1984-1988 for Uni and had a boyfriend at Rotherhithe... it was part of The Metropolitan line for all of that time.

Very interesting indeed. I know you've touched upon it in a number of videos, but one subject I'd like to see more about is the Underground and it's part in WW2.

Some of the Central line tunnels beyond Leyton were used as underground munitions factories, as the track hadn’t yet been installed when War broke out. Lots of other cool stuff too

That was excellent. I'd be interested in an episode series on future plans for the rail system and, also, how does the transport system get along with other municipalities in the Greater London Area.

The boroughs want to do it , but dont want to pay for it, the Govt want it done but dont want to pay for it , the Corporation of London wanted the DLR but wanted someone else to pay for it, the Govt might want to get rid of the Mayor (again) , but then they would have to pay. Bromley dont want any of their residents to pay for anything. And then we can get to the roads, (but we wont). Essex has to pay TfL to keep Epping in Zone 6, Watford wont pay to put Watford in Zone 6. Epsom does not want to be in Greater London, but is happy now that it is in Oyster Areas.

@@JagoHazzard More likely TfL rail ? I suspect Covid impacts ./franchises and how the govt might react to the probable election of Conservative Shaun Bailey (I say this has Khan has been backed into increasing council tax so much that if gives tory central office big stick to whack him with, weather justified or not ), but it might just mean the DfT might give TfL what SK wanted to have and didnt get, such is the irony of politics that if SB does do well I can see him going for a parliamentary seat and getting rid of BoJo to become PM in 2025 ish.

NO - you certainly WEREN'T 'overthinking it' re: the 'old railway mentality' - it's actually most accurate, Tom. Take that as read from a seasoned railwayman, who started out working in that domain from the late '80s (and within the LT Ops area, too) ......... tho' having actually 'lived & breathed railways' since childhood.

I am sure there is some drama in the history of London Transport There are some larger than life characters and definitely some villians Perhaps some vignettes of key moments. I once saw Dicken's Dombey and Son adapted for the stage in under two hours (and be coherent!) so the history of London Transport (or snapshots at least) is doable
