London Underground 2011-A60 & C Stock at Euston Square, Farringdon & Barbican

[@1973ts]

Excellent as always. Loved those days, using Euston Square and the brake dust from circle line trains westinghouse tests hanging in the air.

[@SoiBuakhaoRoutemasterbus]

Yes, wasn't it once each trip around the Circle Line they had to do a Westinghouse?I thought it was Kings Cross they were supposed to use it?.....

[@theimperialist2686]

Great London Underground video Soi Buakhao, seeing the A and C Stocks takes me back down memory lane.

[@Keithbarber]

The C stock had aged well and didn't look that old to me, but the A stock *WAS* showing its age by now

[@AndreiTupolev]

It had been refurbished in the 1990s, the C Stock, it was looking very tired before that

[@GaryB007]

Do you have any more route learning videos that you posted before? Found those quite interesting.

[@SoiBuakhaoRoutemasterbus]

I've tried to get other lines from my contacts still on the Underground but no joy sadly......

[@awesometrainsandbuses]

I really miss the C stock, if im correct there are 3 carriages in preservation

[@SoiBuakhaoRoutemasterbus]

I didn't know that, i wonder where they are?..... I remember them in the 1970s when they were new and shiny silver!

[@awesometrainsandbuses]

I think the preserved C stock carriages are at the London Transport Museum depot in Acton

[@youtubeaccount734]

I love the C stock, they shouldn't have been replaced, and if so, only partially

[@SoiBuakhaoRoutemasterbus]

They were well past their prime by now even after their refurb ..... And they didn't quite have the looks and charm of the CO/CP or R stocks.......

[@jamesfrench7299]

I just discovered when I look at my 5½" phone screen with a magnifying glass it feels like I'm standing there for real. What were those fenced off tracks at Farringdon about?

[@SoiBuakhaoRoutemasterbus]

That was Barbican. They are the old British rail lines to Moorgate. Once Farringdon Thameslink platforms were extended to take 12 car trains the Moorgate branch was shut.

[@jamesfrench7299]

Oh right. I find abandoned railway lines fascinating.

[@hi-viz]

Nice to see stuff from my sort of era. Makes me think I should upload stuff I filmed in the 2005-2008 period but it has the issue of being filmed by a 9-12 year-old

[@SoiBuakhaoRoutemasterbus]

Give it a go and see if it's popular...... Maybe edit out anything a bit too far gone to be useable (ie feet or lots of sky) and see.....

[@TrainBusFan06]

One would surely be forgiven for thinking this was from the 90s as opposed to 2011, guess some things never change...

[@QuarioQuario54321]

Was S stock a rare sight at this time?

[@richardcoughlan9981]

The first S stock train didn't enter service yet at that time it would have been a year later in 2012.

[@SoiBuakhaoRoutemasterbus]

The first ones entered service on the Met Line in July 2010 although new trains entering service was slow at the start. I seem to recall they ahd to go back to Derby for mods......

[@richardcoughlan9981]

@@SoiBuakhaoRoutemasterbus I thought the first one entered service on the Met line in 2012? And then the H&C in 2014?

[@QuarioQuario54321]

@@richardcoughlan9981 S8 entered in summer 2010 on the metropolitan line. S7 entered service summer 2012 but I forget where her it was on the circle or hammersmith & city line (it wasn’t the district)

[@richardcoughlan9981]

@@QuarioQuario54321 I think it was the Hammersmith and City first then the Circle and last was the District

[@moocow4654]

Are drivers still allowed to have the cab door open nowdays?

[@SoiBuakhaoRoutemasterbus]

I believe so, i have seen 73 stock on the Picc in service with them open. The newer stock may have a door interlock that prevents them being open when moving though......

[@sashaisacoustic]

Weird how 2011 is starting to look like 2001.

[@AndreiTupolev]

The way the stops are edited makes it look as if the passengers had about half a second to get on and off. Like a challenge in a game show

[@SoiBuakhaoRoutemasterbus]

When i was a tube guard, if i was in a hurry, watch out! leap out quick or enjoy the extra ride.....lol

[@joshuasilva7590]

When was this recorded

[@SoiBuakhaoRoutemasterbus]

In 2011......

[@interest5217]

RIP c stock and a stock

[@TeamGeist06]

I miss the a and c stocks. The s stock is soulless.

[@jamesfrench7299]

As a non Londoner, I think they're a smart looking set. Love the Ds but they were showing their age outside at least and what was with their narrow doors?

[@Ass_Burgers_Syndrome]

All the newer stocks are.

[@SoiBuakhaoRoutemasterbus]

When the D Stock was new, LT praised the 4 doors on them as being quicker to unload & load than the R & CO/CP stocks they replaced.... The 'narrow' doors was a reason LT came up with to replace the D Stocks somewhat earlier than needed.....
