London Underground Bakerloo Line Exposed!

A never before seen view of the Bakerloo line, starting from London Road depot, bringing a train into service northbound terminating at Queens Park.
I describe many different elements of the signals and track equipment for train or underground enthusiasts with enhanced visibility.
*DISCLAIMER* I have edited the footage of being on platforms to reduce the video length and to keep this content interesting. Each station has a different "dwell time" which is a suggested countdown for customers to exit or board the train.
If you enjoy this video please subscribe to my channel and you will be able to see the southbound journey plus many extra episodes soon.
If you have any questions or suggestions, please leave a comment.

The feedback I have had from everyone has been phenomenal! I cannot express enough how your words of encouragement mean to me and this little project. I do need some help in getting these videos out to more viewers, I am currently unable to explain why, but I really need to keep the views rising so that I can continue this series. If you are able to share this video that would be perfect 👍 Thank you so much for your support! 😊

What an amazing film! Really makes you understand how much you're missing relying only on train headlights.

[@nsr2750]

The gap in the tunnel approaching Edgware Road was for the crossover from when it was the terminus of the line from 1907-1913. Can't find when it was removed but it was removed prior to 2002.

[@awesomecreationschannel]

That's great information, thank you! I am very keen to learn the complete history of the Bakerloo line and document it in full 👍

[@20decemberpaulmarkstakingi48]

Interesting to see the link to the Jubilee Line

[@LUAu101]

Long long before 2002. It was almost certainly lifted with the extension of the line to Paddington, given the signal box closed 01/12/1913. It was certainly gone by 1940, which is the earliest diagram I have access to

[@aquilarossa5191]

Thanks for doing this. It takes me back to my school days over 40 years ago. Tooting for primary school and then Milton Keynes until I was 15 when we moved to NZ. I was so into trains and the underground especially (British Rail from MK to Euston and then the Northern Line down to Tooting Bec to visit family once per month or so). NZ has naff all trains. Auckland is about to get its first underground line. I see folks complaining it is a waste of money etc. I tell them how important the underground was to London's growth and is to its current functioning. London could not do without it. Aucklanders complain about the traffic and do not see how trains can help. I point out that London began getting underground lines when the population was 2 million. Auckland now has 2 million. Build it now, or regret it later. P.S. I bet kids can not do it now, but back then I knew how to sneak on the tube for free. Bunking off school, seeing every point of interest in London. Arrested at Heathrow when I was nine thinking I could do the same and sneak on a jumbo jet.

[@stachu1027]

Ah we still do, but the world and society has changed so much now and to be honest I don't think its for the best. If you knew what it was like to be a teen now, and compres it to your childhood, it would be very strange.

Although its old i will forever have a soft spot in my heart for the bakerloo line and the 72 stock it takes me back to when life was simple and breezy Great video keep up the phonomenal work!

[@ianmcclavin]

That's the 2nd time it's had the oldest stock on the system in recent years. It was the last to have a full run out of 1938 Stock in the 80's (but not the last line to operate them, as the Northern regained 5 previously withdrawn 1938 Stock trains for use in peak hours). With memories of 1959 Stock also running on the Bakerloo, it seems strange that the 1972 Stock is now the oldest.

Enjoyed riding along with you! Thanks for the cab ride video and commentary. In particular the details about signals and train operations. Greetings from Portland, Oregon, United States of America. I was born in Kingsbury, London NW9, grew up around there. Queensbury (Bakerloo line at the time) was our local station. Spent many a journey as a passenger on the old 1938 tube stock. The Stanmore to Baker Street, when operated as the Bakerloo Line, brings back great memories for me. Now it's called the Jubilee Line (it was to be the Fleet Line in the late 1970s. Plans change...) The new (to me at least) Bakerloo line through Kenton and Harrow is interesting. My travels there were typically by double-decker bus. Looking forward to more of your travels!

[@EElgar1857]

Stockholm is one of the world's most beautiful cities, and your subway is also! Watching this, it's shocking how tiny the tunnels are, in the deep-level tubes. The best they could do in the mid-1800s, I guess, but they must regret not making them somewhat bigger, when they had the chance.

[@awesomecreationschannel]

@@EElgar1857 most definitely, I guess because it was cutting edge at the time and they didn't think about "future proofing" too much. And to imagine the first underground trains were steam! It is a very old system now and there are so many layers upon layers of technology advancements throughout the network.

[@tomv3361]

Thanks for this. Nice to compare your tunnels with Prague, everything is very different. Also, why are there lights under the platform on some stations? Haven't seen that anywhere else but London.

[@awesomecreationschannel]

That's an excellent question Tom! The stations with lights underneath the platform edge are extremely curved, this means when the train is berthed in the platform there are very big gaps between the platform and the train that people might fall into. You will also notice thick white lines painted on the floor of the track area, this is to highlight any potential persons on the track before we pull away and an incident happens.

[@tomv3361]

@@awesomecreationschannel Oh, interesting. Makes perfect sense.

[@velogoo]

Neat video! I assume normally you don’t drive with the extra torchlight, is it not difficult therefore to see the speed limit signs and other boards in the tunnels or are they illuminated separately? Also they seem to fly past so quickly that it would be difficult to read them anyway!

[@awesomecreationschannel]

Thanks very much 👍 the extra light is my own addition to help show the tunnels as the stock light isn't good for filming. It looks faster than it actually is in the video and it is slightly brighter so we can see the signs, but we learn the line and are familiar with the correct speeds in certain areas.

[@nedseagoon5101]

I’m a mainline driver & we never fly into (sweep the platform) stations like that. You’ve gotta have confidence in the brake to drive like that. Tube driving is so different to us. All those signals all over the place would drive me mad! Ours are 1 mile or more apart usually. Don’t you blokes go from green to red too? We get bought down gradually. We also call ‘amber’ ‘yellow’. Do you ever got bored? I think I would. My office window view changes every 2 minutes! Anyway, nice video with interesting explanations. Thanks.

[@awesomecreationschannel]

I'm not a fast driver by any means, especially berthing the train on a platform, the GoPro does make it look slightly faster than it really is, but we do come in faster than you guys. Our trains weigh a lot less and although the bogie design is old, it still works pretty well on EP brake and Westinghouse. We do have Green to Red signals because our signaling sections are much smaller than National Rail but half of the Bakerloo line is NR so we do follow those signals too. We call the aspects Yellow too but I used the word Amber to make it more relatable to non train driving audiences. Yellow/Amber, they are both still the same colour which indicates caution, just like traffic lights 😊

When I was young he use take me sometimes to the staff mess and canteen at Earls Court for lunch. Good memories 👌)

I'm glad you enjoyed it, there are 2 more episodes of the rest of the route and and another 3 coming. If you are a drive, you operate the one train on that line. So a Bakerloo driver cannot go and drive on the Northern Line without full line route knowledge and stock training.

A quiet time of dayas there are very few passengers on the platforms.

[@RatSmor]

How fast are you coming in to stations and how much break force are you using? It looks almost like your coming in at 50 mph but still make a perfect stop

[@awesomecreationschannel]

It's different on each station as there are different speed limits, also gradients and corners can reduce speed also. On a straight station approach we can be travelling at 35mph as we enter the station and adjust our braking accordingly.

[@xenon53827]

crikey! talk about 'tunnel vision' ! Great to see all this though.

[@JaypeeGamingMotoTV]

May I know what is the most ideal speed upon approaching the station platform to have a good stop timing?

[@awesomecreationschannel]

It depends on a few factors, the speed limit on approach to the station, the amount of passengers on board, and how responsive the braking system is. You can approach a station at full line speed which most drivers will do, it's the balance of the braking levels and previously mentioned considerations and skill which enable the driver to stop at the correct position.

[@gamingwithpros4047]

T actually means Termination of Speed, making the driver be able to go whatever speed he/she wants

[@awesomecreationschannel]

That's not quite true, I'm not sure why it's a T on the board, but it means normal running speed for that section. Each section can have a speed limit difference, and then each section can have speed reductions for certain areas.

How different is the maps the drivers use compared to the ones the public reads every day

[@awesomecreationschannel]

Hi Mark, we don't use maps, we learn the different moves done on certain stations from detailed diagrams and the rest of the line we learn whilst driving and memorise it 👍

[@BulletNoseBetty]

imagine watching that through VR goggles.

[@captaincessna7897]

Is the link to the jubilee line ever used these days?

[@awesomecreationschannel]

I think it is to move maintainance trains across the network.

[@pianoboylaker6560]

I can't imagine what the conditions were like for the diggers when these tunnels were built. They must have been an exceptional type of people to endure the back breaking work needed to burrow through the ground, and doing it for mile upon mile of track. Amazing what they achieved and no one gives it a second thought.

[@awesomecreationschannel]

Absolutely, I doubt the working conditions were very good either. It is amazing what has been achieved but does anyone actually know the real cost?

[@dobroiualexandru8813]

Are the track that go left on the jubilee line still in used? And if so were do they go ?

[@awesomecreationschannel]

I haven't been able to find out exactly where they go but they are still used, I think for engineering trains to get them from one line to another. There was some track work being done on them a couple of years ago. I'll try to find out where they go 😊

[@dobroiualexandru8813]

Thanks for the info and the kind response, keep doing this type of videos with the underground they are very entertaining and educational, are you working only on the bakerloo line?

[@j2m3_raiden5]

The tracks on the line go to stanmore.

[@awesomecreationschannel]

@@dobroiualexandru8813 most drivers only work on one line, but there are some drivers called Test Train Drivers that can drive on several lines.

I don't even need this as I get these all the time

[@phillipg1588]

I was excited to see this video so I could compare it with the Bakerloo line from Train Sim World 3. TSW3 is very close, but don't know why they never included any headlights on the TSW3 tube trains. Simply no option to turn any headlights on. On another note, the approach speed into the stations appears insanely fast. Anyone else think likewise?

[@awesomecreationschannel]

Are there no switches on the right side of the cab? The camera does make it look faster than it actually is, especially compared to TSW3.

[@burgerpommes2001]

Are those the Standard headligts?

[@awesomecreationschannel]

@@burgerpommes2001 no not at all, standard headlights are about as strong as a candle! 😂

[@phillipg1588]

Yeah that's what I thought, no actual high beam headlights but just basically marker lights. Useless for seeing anything in dark underground.

[@BeachGramps3361]

I don't like the huge text disturbing the hi-res views. Good tech info, though, thanks.

[@awesomecreationschannel]

Feedback duly noted. I was careful to position the text in a way not to obscure too much of the interesting elements but I wanted to keep it large enough for people with poor visibility to still be able to read. I have made an episode with minimal editing and no text for a more ASMR experience 👍

[@darksars3622]

THe title made me think this was one of those this thing EXPESED but it was and cab view video with fun facts of the of my faverate tube line

[@darksars3622]

and with super cleen cuts

[@MichaelBeeny]

I noticed the headlights on the trains (not your torch) are really quite poor. Is it because there is nothing much to see underground and even if you did see something on the line you probably could not stop anyway.

[@awesomecreationschannel]

Yes pretty much 😂

[@wu_1116]

Head and tail lights on trains are there more for the train to be seen than for the driver to see. The signals etc. are illuminated anyways.

[@AddingtonSquare]

I go past London Road Depot most days on top of a 12 or 148 bus. . . . I usually look down at the depot and I see a train that has been in the same place for many years. . . . . I presume it is used as a staff facility of some sort, like a messroom or something. . . . Can you tell what the story is here ? . . . What condition is it like inside ? . . . I've always been curious about it.

[@awesomecreationschannel]

Hi Ashley, yes there is a dead train in the depot, I can't remember exactly what happened to it but it's been there for many years and now it's a parts train so it has bits take off from time to time to keep the other trains running. The main depot where most of the work done on trains is Stonebridge Park, London Road isn't really equipped for any big jobs, just quick fixes.
