London Underground Bakerloo Line Exposed Part 3.

This episode 3 of my Bakerloo Line exposed series.
I apologise for the delay in this episode, I didn't ask permission from the company to record the previous episodes and I got into a little bit of trouble...
Thankfully it has all been smoothed out and I have permission to upload the rest of this series.
Thank you everyone who has commented on these videos, I try to reply to everyone when I can. Your support is greatly appreciated and I am glad to make content that so many people find interesting.
There is more on the way...

[@petersmith5199]

Brilliant, thank you. 45MPH may not be fast, but the acceleration seems impressive to me.

[@awesomecreationschannel]

Thank you Peter, some trains which have been recently serviced do perform well for a while 😂

[@MrSulzerboy]

These are some of the best videos I've watched and very informative. Thanks for sharing, great stuff.

[@juliangauld7331]

I always wanted to be a train driver as a child. Now I can see what I missed out on! Great videos.

[@myirepair7002]

These are amazing videos, keep up the good work. I've always been fascinated with the London Underground and love the sound of the dc motors whirring. I'm glad the powers that be allowed you to continue in your efforts to create this great content for us to see. absolutely brilliant 👍

[@omari9593]

I’m glad things worked out. It would’ve been a shame if you weren’t allowed to upload the rest of this series, because it’s shaping up to be amazing. I’m someone who gets really nerdy when it comes to the London Underground, so thank you for offering us a drivers eye view. And really appreciate the captions explaining everything. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@OffTheRailsUK]

You do realise how easy it is to get cab rides right

[@JP_TaVeryMuch]

Great! You're back and I hope that you didn't get your knuckles rapped too hard. Thank you for battling with/persuading the powers that be to be allowed to continue this engagingly entertaining and enlightening series. You just know that with the timely explanations of what we're about to see, you'll have struck a match in the hearts of many a child watching who can't fail but be inspired to train to be a driver. Thank you too from this ahem slightly older kid, you brought back many happy memories of long journeys with I-Spy books and that's high praise indeed. Blue number boards, trip cocks dropping before the signal changes to green, ✓,✓! Cheers.

[@awesomecreationschannel]

This has to be the nicest comment I have have ever received from any of my videos! I can't express enough how much this means to me and how much it helps me to continue making videos 😊

[@JP_TaVeryMuch]

@@awesomecreationschannel Right back at ya, as they say over yonder and thanks, I meant it.

[@dfbiker]

Great video. Keep them coming. It’s good to see something different and to all learn something people take for granted when riding on the underground 👍

[@awesomecreationschannel]

Thanks dude 😁👍

[@RichardWells1]

Really interesting insight into an Underground journey from the cab - and with great explanatory captions. Here's to the next part of the journey! Thanks!

[@awesomecreationschannel]

Thanks bud 😊 Have you watched the previous episodes too?

[@RichardWells1]

@@awesomecreationschannel Yes - equally as informative and enjoyable. (Sorry you had a bit of bother over them!)

[@AFCManUk]

I did wonder why things had been a bit quiet. Glad it was all smoothed over and you were allowed to continue uploading, though. :D

[@awesomecreationschannel]

I've got something really big coming up! 😁👍

[@AFCManUk]

@@awesomecreationschannel What I appreciate about your videos when compared to other 'cab ride' ones, is that you go above and beyond with your mega torch to expose the tunnels and areas that we would never usually see. Brilliant stuff.

[@awesomecreationschannel]

@@AFCManUk yeah I thought I was going to get in trouble for that because it's pretty big! But it was all good. Considering I didn't ask permission, the company have been very good with me. Lots of new drivers to the line have enjoyed my videos too! 😁👍

[@martinchapman3204]

Thank you and totally enjoyed watching. Can’t wait for the next one. Safe driving and stay safe it’s mad world down there on the Underground. 😊

[@AndyChamberlain-e6u]

Excellent videos - just came across your series today while researching for a trip out on the Bakerloo line next week

[@awesomecreationschannel]

Thanks for watching and I hope you like your trip 😁👍

12:29 - the YAGI antenna on the right hand side under the bridge for the train radio....

[@CDBAILEY]

Thanks for these. I'm a cross transfer driver coming to the Bakerloo in a few weeks from the Northern. I'm they've been a great little primer for what to expect.

[@awesomecreationschannel]

Thank you Craig, I've had quite a few cross transfer drivers say the same 😊👍 What line are you coming from and what depot are you going to?

[@CDBAILEY]

@@awesomecreationschannel Moving over from the Northern Line to Elephant and Castle at the end of the month. I've been there since 2012 so it's a little like starting over but seems like a good line to be on!

[@awesomecreationschannel]

@@CDBAILEY ELE was my old depot before moving to Seven Sisters on the Vic. I think compared to the northern line you'll be fine with the Bakerloo 😊👍 Both depots are good, it's very laid back and a pretty friendly line for the most part.

[@ds1868]

Another great video, thanks!

[@GaborMOLNAR-py9tr]

Thank you for your time and work, great job. Still waiting for the 4th video, from Queen's Park to E&C. (And after that other lines, if you will have time and opportunity with your magic torch.)

[@awesomecreationschannel]

It is on its way, sorry for the delay 😬

[@user-PK-23]

Well done on this series I only came across it by the KZbin algorithom showing you're video to me from what I understand if it's showing it means you're channel is popular! See that's something that really narks me with allot of transport companies these videos are not only helpful to people who say build routes in simulatiors or people who are looking for how systems work and how the lines look from the drivers POV without spending money on Video 125 stock! And it's the same with bus companies the way I see it is if you're showing the company in a good light as here and you're showing you're good at you're job explaining what is what and showing how much knolage you actually have it should be a good thing!!! I Am so glad they have allowed you to do more it's great to see though i've always prefered seeing the underground sections of the London Underground it is amazing to see everything else it's much more complex than you might think to work on the London Underground.

[@hughmnyks]

Excellent stuff! Highly informative

[@omari9593]

I have to say I particularly found the reverse to Elephant & Castle from what would usually be the terminating platform really interesting. Mainly because it’s a rare move, and not one I have seen anyone else capture yet (in terms of passenger journey. I wonder if the two platforms at H&W would hold trains rather than reversing to the siding if the tracks weren’t shared with the London Overground.

[@awesomecreationschannel]

Thanks Omari, unfortunately only one platform has access to the points so it's not possible to cross over without using the sidings. The sidings are also there to help regulate our trains with the Overground service 😊👍

[@jorbharris8097]

Thank you so much for this very informative and enjoyable series. I look forward to much more! But please get permission first or you might get in trouble and we would get no more super videos.

[@OffTheRailsUK]

The rattling noise is the equipment inside the cab door for isolating the third and fourth rail, as well as the ladder I believe.

[@awesomecreationschannel]

That's more of a heavy knocking sound, this was a loose selector key which is just below the camera. I couldn't hear it due to the rest of the usual noise 😂

[@OffTheRailsUK]

@@awesomecreationschannel Ah so the camera was placed on the direction selector. Yeah I see. Most 72 stocks are quite rattly, especially on the above ground sections, as the track is quite bumpy there (at least, whenever I'm in the cab)

[@bIuebitten4675]

Honestly my favourite series of yours! 👍 I am planning to make a model station of Queen's Park!

[@awesomecreationschannel]

Thanks Blue I really appreciate that 😁 You'll like what coming up in the next few months!

[@marksinthehouse1968]

Great video ,is there any plan to tidy up the exterior or the 72 stock either paint or wrap all the best 😊

[@awesomecreationschannel]

Thanks Mark. Well the 72 stock did have a recent overhaul, unfortunately the outside is looking worse for wear due to graffiti damage. And cosmetics are low on the budget list of repairs 😞

[@bIuebitten4675]

I don't know why, but the 72 stock always seems to be the target for graffiti 😞 @@awesomecreationschannel

[@neiltaylor6645]

I was wondering if there was going to be a part 3

[@bIuebitten4675]

28:08 spot the black jerry cans just right next to the buffer, are those for greasing the track?

[@awesomecreationschannel]

That's oil for greasing the points. Good spot!

[@bIuebitten4675]

@@awesomecreationschannel wondering about those yeah! pretty cool way just leaving them there.

[@samliu1359]

excellent video! could you tell what's the normal dwell time of Bakerloo Line in both peak and non-peak hours? Many thx!

[@awesomecreationschannel]

Thanks Sam, the dwell time doesn't really change much between peak and off peak hours but it can change a lot between stations. Busier stations like Piccadilly, Paddington and Baker Street can have up to 50 seconds dwell time. Smaller stations like Lambeth North can only have 15 seconds. We do have a certain amount of autonomy regarding the dwell times, we don't have to stay on the platform if no passengers are getting off or on the train, with the exception of the last train of the day, that one has to follow the timetable and dwell times due to connections with other lines. I'll cover this more in depth on a later episode 😊👍

[@samliu1359]

@@awesomecreationschannel thx for ur answer. look forward to ur next video

[@shadowstransport8412]

Whey it's out

[@A-Trainspotter-From-Berkshire]

Why 03:50 did you say Down Road over to the Up Road, when according to the sectional appendix they are called Down DC Electric line and Up DC Electric line? At 04:50 where you said the trains on the left can do 110mph, the Class 221s & 390s can do 125mph. At 17:00 isn't the signalling centre the Wembley Mainline SSC Suburban Workstation? At 19:43 since the Dalek was there doesn't that make it an ESR (Emergency Speed Restriction) instead of a TSR (Temporary Speed Restriction)? At 22:50 isn't it a type 1 junction indicator/Feather on signal WS22? At Willesden Junction can you reverse in Platform Two the bay platform? I can 24:00 where the positive rail also finishes on the route to the North London Line. At 27:35 isn't it a type 4 junction indicator/Feather on signal WS8? So at 28:05 what is the difference between the Speed board with the Red border with a mostly white background and black letters and the Speed board with the Black boarder with a mostly white background and black letters

[@awesomecreationschannel]

Wow. There is a lot to unpack with all of these questions. Let's start with the Up and Down roads, they were covered in episode 2. On the high speed lines, I don't know the classes of trains that use these roads but I have seen 110mph speed limits, this is probably because it is a built up area. I don't know what the full exact name for the Wembley Control, we refer to them as Wembley Signaller because the signaller is who we speak to if we need to. I am sharing the terminologies that we use on the line so that viewers can be more familiar with what it's like driving on our line.

[@awesomecreationschannel]

We're not taught about signal types or models, what's important are the correct aspects displayed. ESR or TSR, both are temporary and not the normal line speed. At Willesden Junction we can't use the bay road because our trains are too long, this I think was also covered in episode 2. There is no difference between the red or black borders, it's the contents of the signal which is important.

[@A-Trainspotter-From-Berkshire]

@@awesomecreationschannel Thanks. Also, it was a nice video to watch. Not too long but not too short either.

[@vartal]

And what, the paths are not fenced in any way and anyone can get on the way and get electrocuted? And why couldn't we limit ourselves to one contact rail, why the second? After all, you have a familiar line with one contact rail.

[@stevenharris4989]

When is part 4 coming out

[@awesomecreationschannel]

In the next couple of weeks 👍
