London Underground Central Line Documentary From 1992

[@PSYCHIC_PSYCHO]

These are the Underground trains of my childhood and youth, they are the reason why I fell in love with the Underground, I am now 50 years old.

[@EssexWolf1993]

I still have this driver’s eye view on DVD, as well as their 2010/2011 remake. The eerie but cool soundtrack, some pretty grotty stations and trains, guards still being used, the classic “Mind the Gap!” at Bank and of course the best bit, the Ongar branch. How times have changed.

[@dave771]

“A brief flirtation with civilisation at Coopersale.” That’s a very good description of the Ongar branch!

[@camjkerman]

I have this on DVD, but I've had no way of watching it for about 5 years now as neither my laptop nor my desktop have an optical drive, this showed up randomly on my home page. A fascinating look into a world I can't possibly remember as I was born in 2003, but can recognise in fragments, having lived in or near London my whole life, and along the Central line itself for 10 of my 21 years.

@@camjkermanI’m so glad you got to enjoy it 😁. I’ll try and upload some more of my DVDs that I have

Mental that Crossrail has been in planning for so long! They already planned it by 1992!

It was only as John Major wanted to franchise off BR network southeast didn't go ahead

[@SiVlog1989]

And the rest, lol. Between 1941 and 1948, there were proposals for a cross London tunnel scheme. The first mention of the word "Crossrail" was in 1974 with the London Rail Study report recommending the building of an East-West tunnel under London linking Paddington and Liverpool Street. There was a proposal in 1989 where there was a branch that would have taken over the Chiltern lines as part of the scheme

I live in Ongar and from here wish they would open the central line back up

[@TreeMovies]

crazy to think that as late as 1992 there were tube stations with only 7 trains a day

[@BoingBoomJimmy]

I had this on VHS when i was younger. Lovely to see this again. Thanks for the upload 👍

[@Jauntyenvelope5]

@@BoingBoomJimmy thanks for the comment. I found this on DVD in charity shop along with a couple of other train dvds. Felt it was a worthwhile upload for its historic value.

[@pritbhachu]

Amazing video. Do you have the other lines?

[@HarryThomasGrievesNewacc]

Great video mate; used to have this on video when I was little but except for the fact there's music 🎶 in it which you should've cut out or otherwise there's a chance the video can still get taken down. Just be careful you don't get down for copyright ©️. Not being rude; just trying to help look out for you alright.

[@Jauntyenvelope5]

@@HarryThomasGrievesNewacc thanks for the heads up, it did have a copyright issue prior to posting, which has since been clipped out. It was a Thames TV advert at the end of the doc.

[@HarryThomasGrievesNewacc]

@@Jauntyenvelope5 So you got a strike for copyright?

[@Jauntyenvelope5]

@@HarryThomasGrievesNewacc No strike, when you upload, KZbin will notify you of any copyright issues, they give you the option to to appeal or trim out said sections. I trimmed the section out and therefore no need for a strike

[@HarryThomasGrievesNewacc]

@@Jauntyenvelope5 Oh that's good. I got down for it once; I reported a copyrighted Supernanny video that someone had infringed and then it backfired. I lost all my subscribers and had to create a new one which I managed to retrieve some of my subscribers; I'm a rail enthusiast just like you are.

[@ndinnen]

This is from video 125.

[@markcollinson5665]

Weren't the Central London stations grotty back then? 🫤

[@trainsyt.roblox]

now make a video central line year 2011 version

[@metropod]

I kept expecting to hear a woman talking in French to Sade (Tell me that does not sound like “Sadeness part1”)

[@atent5124]

12:04 the points were wrongly set?

[@ndinnen]

Spring points, I'll imagine.
