London Underground - Aldwych 1972 Tube Stock departing Holborn

[@Matthew-it2jw]

So happy that they've kept it on the line for special services.

[@wouldjubileeveit3646]

same here!! what is the oldest special service train you have seen?

[@Matthew-it2jw]

1938 Stock (on LU not isle of wight surprisingly!) I've also been on it on the LU.

[@wouldjubileeveit3646]

cool! is it slower than the current stock, or cant you tell the difference in terms of speed?

[@Matthew-it2jw]

It's about as fast as 1972 or 1973 stock I think. Accelerates like 1973.

[@wouldjubileeveit3646]

i'm surprised!

[@oludotunjohnshowemimo434]

1972 MK1, so much like its cousin 1967 stock hard to tell the difference by exterior. I assume that they were needed quickly to compensate for the shortfall of 1959 stock on the Northern line, no time to create a new design so the 1967 design was copied to the 1972 MkI but with guard and driver operation.

[@21spinrage89]

John Showemimo Some 1972 MK1 stocks were "transformed" into 1967 stocks

[@oludotunjohnshowemimo434]

89SPINRAGE some mk1 cars were adapted into the 1967 stock but in the middle as they did not have ATO.

[@NoddyMaccy]

The driver looks like Ray, a mate of mine!

[@waiyinka]

the whistle is as same as the whistle for the train simulator 1995 stock train on my tablet!

[@Drawyah]

Oh boy... Let me take you to the basics! In their 150 year existence, London Underground have used the SAME train whistle in all of their trains.

[@adammars1438]

Drawyah Games he's talking about a train simulation game...

[@bowlerstuff9589]

there all the same so it make sence if the train game one was the same

[@class317]

@@Drawyah wrong

[@sgstuff1152]

Oh wow... The platform floor and whole of it is still here! I would go to Aldwych one day!

[@SimonS44]

SMRTC751B - lifts, trains & more what?

[@sgstuff1152]

I am kidding actually.

[@NC-002]

That's one of the other platforms, there isn't much left of Platform 5 now sadly.

[@chrisrowe7503]

Looks better in it's original condition than the refurbished stock !!

[@NC-002]

Would've looked even better if they didn't paint the front red though, that'd be great.

[@onlinefriend3889]

@@NC-002 I think they had to do that for safety reasons, in case some engineer happened to be on the side of the tracks

[@NC-002]

Online Friend it’s not like with national rail where the yellow fronts are necessary, plus if it’s to let people know it’s coming then the roar of the train would probably let them know or two bright headlights

[@cannadineboxill-harris2983]

I needed to know why don’t dig a tunnel and do an extension for the main line Train so that they could extend the unused abandoned underground stations. Why couldn’t they use the part D78 Stock train doors on the sides and also restructure the front face of the A60 and A62 stock and that includes the class 313, class 314 and class 315 remix and make them all together and also redesign them an overhead line and also make them into Five cars per units and also having three Disabled Toilets on those Five cars per units A60 and A62 stock trains and also convert the A60 and A62 stock trains into a Scania N112, Volvo TD102KF, Volvo B10M, Gardner 6LXB, Gardner 6LXC and Gardner 8LXB Diesel Engines and also put the Loud 7-Speed Voith Gearboxes even Loud 8-Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Gearboxes in the A60 and A62 stock, class 313, class 314, and class 315 and also modernise the A60 and A62 stock and make it into an 11 car per unit so it could have fewer doors, more tables, computers and mobile phone chargers. A Stock Train and 8 Disabled Toilets on those A stock trains. why couldn’t we refurbish and modernise the waterloo and city line Triple-Track train tunnel and make it bigger and extend it to the bank station, making it into a Triple-Track Railway Line so those 4 European countries such as Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden to convert the waterloo and city line Triple-Track Train tunnel into a High-Speed train? The Third Euro tunnel Triple-Track Train line to make it 11 times better for passengers so they could go from A to B. then put the modernised 11 car per unit A Stock and put them on a bigger modernised waterloo and city line Triple-Track train tunnel so it could go to bank station to those 4 European countries such as Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden. The modernised refurbished 11 cars per unit A stock could be a High Speed The Third Triple-Track Euro Tunnel Train So it is promising and 37 times a lot more possible to do this kind of project that is OK for London Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden. oh by the way, could they also tunnel the Triple-Track Railway Line so it will stop from Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Essex so that the Passengers will go to Germany, Italy, Poland and Sweden and also extend the Triple-Track Railway Line from Bank to Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Essex Stations so that more people from there could go to Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden Easily. Why couldn't they extend the Piccadilly line and also build brand-new underground train stations so it could go even further right up to Clapton, Wood Street and also make another brand new tunnel train stations in Chingford could they extend the DLR? All of the classes 150, 155, 154, 117, 114, 105, and 106, will be replaced by all of the Scania N112, Volvo TD102KF, Volvo B10M, Gardner 6LXB, Gardner 6LXC and Gardner 8LXB Diesel Five carriages three disabled toilets are air conditioning trains including Highams Park for extended roots which is the Piccadilly line and the DLR trains. Could you also convert all of the 1973 stock trains into an air-conditioned maximum speed 78 km/hours (48 MPH) re-refurbished and make it into a 8 cars per unit if that will be alright, and also extend all of the Piccadilly train stations to make more space for all of the extended 8 car per unit 1973 stock air condition trains and can you also build another Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive Companies and they can order Every 17 Octagon and Hexagon shape LNER diagram unique small no.13 and unique small no.11 Boilers from those Countries such as Greece, Italy, Poland, and Sweden, can they make Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive speeds by up to 117MPH so you can try and test it on the Original Mainline so it will be much more safer for the Passengers to enjoy the 117MPH speed Limit only for HS2 and Channel Tunnel mainline services, if they needed 16 Carriages Per units can they use those class 55’s, class 44’s, class 40’s and class 43HST Diesel Locomotive’s right at the Back of those 18 Carriages Per Units so they can take over at the Back to let those Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive’s have a rest for those interesting Journeys Please!!!, oh can you make all of those Coal Boxes’s 16 Tonnes for all of the 117MPH Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive’s so the Companies will Understand us PASSENGER’S!!! so please make sure that the Builders can do as they are Told!!!! And please do something about these critical Professional ideas Please Prime Minister of England, the Prime Minister of Sweden, the Prime Minister of Germany, the Prime Minister of Italy, the Prime Minister of Poland and that Includes the Mayor of London.

[@AndreReis-oz3bd]

Is this Aldwych station and the decomissioned tube train stopped there, but working?

[@NC-002]

Do they ever clean it when it goes to Northfields? It's really dirty. Well atleast it still works as I loved these old MK1s

[@NC-002]

Oludotun John Showemimo I know, please stop.

[@owenchuarbx]

Take it to the Bakerloo!

[@edwardsmith3602]

What do you mean take it to the Bakerloo? Bakerloo is a Line, the train can only go between Holborn and Aldwych.

[@ElectrostarGeorge]

Crystal Mover Bakerloo line doesn't need anymore trains, plus this would be expensive to convert to OPO operation and refurb

[@VirreFriberg]

+Mil Pop Actually.. It can go to other places 2. It connects up with the eastbound/westbound tunnel!

[@bowlerstuff9589]

does it?

[@speedbird1598]

What is it used for?

[@Jeagles]

They often use it for specials and filming

[@Jeagles]

How did you know that this was running

[@flanzy4063]

0:23 why did it stop?

[@belfastbusfan]

are these still in service

[@CaseysTrains]

Yes, on the Bakerloo Line. This particular set however, is a Perminate resident of Aldwych Station as it's London Underground's film train used for movies and such.

[@belfastbusfan]

Nicholette Casey so this would be the set used in skyfall james bond the scene where the tube train crashed

[@CaseysTrains]

I believe so.

[@steved8193]

belfast bus & stena line fan Skyfall used 1996 stock and was filmed at Charing Cross. The crash set was a solid mockup which is why it takes no damage!

[@bermal209]

Skyfall used the 1996 stock, weirdly as the district line, and the crash was made up of solid mockups and CGI hence the 1996 stock used sustains no damage. It was probably filmed at the old Jubilee line platforms at Charing Cross which are now disused. Hope this helps;)

[@flanzy4063]

0:23 why didid it stop?

[@SprattyHeath]

Tripcock I believe

[@imaginox9]

SPAD (but authorised), it's written in the description

[@pmk2000]

great to see the original 72 stock still kept and could power on~ is the red color front painted because of film making? would it restore to its silvery appearance?

[@CaseysTrains]

Aldwych's power is usually turned on by a flip of a switch during events otherwise it stays dark when not being uses. The 72 Stock there as Mr. Opinonated said were always painted as such when they ran on the Northern Line. This is was the intermediate livery between the all silver and the TfL corporate scheme you see on all underground trains today.

[@marksinthehouse1968]

Shame they added the red front and not kept it original with work the aluminium would of come up as new and maybe sealed with an anti graffiti clear coat so like the 4car 1938 unit we could have another more modern train for special runs
