LU: Beautiful Gloucester Road station feat. D Stock

[@bobblue_west]

London is so lucky to have these spectacular "cut and cover" stations like Glos Rd and Earls Court.

[@Great_WesternTVFan]

These trains are one of my favourites

[@anthonywalsh785]

great memories. i used it as my local as a working australian in 1972.

[@FART-REPELLENT]

WOW!; in that case you will remember the very old District Line trains with the characteristic flared skirting, the red ones were from the year 1938; the unpainted aluminium ones were from the year 1950.

[@Willysmb44]

We spent a few days in a hotel on Cromwell Road, across the street from the Stainsbury's just west of this station. We used this on all our trips across London. Nice station!

[@johnconway8070]

The last time I was at Gloucester Road station was in 1991. It looks so completely different now .

[@pmk2000]

great audio quality~ well done!........the sound of DC motors are good, i would miss them so much~ I'm glad i have took the D stock back in June 2014 for a few stops to Tower Hill stn, I wish I could spend more time riding on them.

[@FART-REPELLENT]

I was born in July 1974, the first D.78 Stock train was delivered in June 1979; I first traveled on the D.78 Stock way back in 1981 when they sounded a little different, and when they were left unpainted in the aluminium livery. I absolutely loved travelling on them especially prior to their refurbishment, I absolutely hate the corporate red white and blue livery.

Beautiful Gloucester Rd station!!! 😀😀

[@cesarvazquezfranco9786]

En esa estación me movia yo,, cuando fui en 2011,, pero este año voy a a Mile end,, My greetings,, loyal and beautiful city of London,,

[@andrewbarnett747]

so sad at 7:02, the couple running for the train missed it and now they have to wait 10 mons for the next one.

[@BruunMedia]

Love your videos. I hope to do a photo book one day of various underground trains and scenes from around the world.

[@harribo2005x]

The District and Circle Lines platform at this station looks nice with the wall murals. Plus, the exit is right above the platform, since it is sub surface.

[@matthewb6916]

Great video. I saw a D stock train only in December at Aldgate East (I think) when I was travelling to West Ham. I was very tempted to jump off the S stock and onto the D stock just so I could have a ride before they're all gone. I didn't, and I do regret that. Anyway, amazing videos, I watch them all the time, you have some amazing skill in filming! Cheers, Matt

[@Laleman6440]

I am going to London and the hotel is right by this station!!

[@boritico25]

If you don't mind me asking, what hotel was that..

[@SigiGordon]

Love the D stock, shame they are going by next month

[@elizabethspedding1975]

It's very beautiful.😄

[@michaelmorales1475]

I love your videos, Keep up the good work

[@maxmullen6337]

I know very little about tube trains, apart from occasionally travelling on them. But I don't think you will see those old single door trains on the Bakerloo line.

[@laurence3671]

D78 stock is still in service today and will remain until late 2017 now.

[@Luftschlange]

+Laurence Coles Is it? That's great, I'll try to catch some the next time I'll be in London!

[@sgstuff1152]

No, they are going to be turned into vivarail livery, which will the d Stock will remain forever.

[@EpicThe112]

Nice job and for the D78 its being replaced by the S stock open gangway trains which entered district line service summer 2013/2014-present (NYC equivalent R211 open gangway) and perhaps these D78s if modified to run on MTA tracks they can do Coney Island to Bronx via chrystie connection & upper west side or 2nd ave via Q line DeKalb Ave Manhattan Bridge from Coney Island and stored in the NY transit museum as a foreign exhibit next to the R44 & R1-9

[@CS_22]

EpicThe112 THIS IS LONDON.

[@SoulSilverIV]

Another lovely video! I was in London the weekend of the 14/15th January and was surprised to still see some D Stock trains in service! One I caught was running eastbound to Upminster, and I saw a further train running on the High Street Kensington to Kensington (Olympia) branch. Seems they haven't been completely retired yet!

[@Luftschlange]

+Nicholas Brown Awesome, I'll be in London again in February. Hope to catch some D stock!

[@rick081956]

Just returned from 11 days, stayed at Holiday Inn Forum, so this was my station. You will get a good mix with enough D Stock to make you happy, the S Stock is nice too.

[@nktrain64]

I love how you film these

[@xstugee]

Your videos are outstanding...

[@MikeWillSee]

you're right about it being beautiful

[@davidng2336]

Maybe you could go to the Second Avenue Subway next? It's very beautiful over there!

[@tobeytransport2802]

They should have kept one of the d stock trains to run as heritage on weekends!

[@amirdawoodbhai]

There are 9 remaining D Stock units in active service which are almost exclusively operating between Richmond and Upminster and between Wimbledon and Tower Hill

[@tobysummers471]

Amir yes I went on one last Saturday and I thought they had all gone.

[@sgstuff1152]

Amir No. They are en route to VivaRail.

[@amirdawoodbhai]

SMRTC751B - lifts, trains & more, Only around 25 out of the 75 D Stock units were sold to Vivarail all of which have already been delivered, almost all other units including those that will operate in the last days of service will go to scrap at C.F Booth, Rotherham

[@CoolTransport]

why can't you go downstairs and see the Piccadilly line at Gloucester road?

[@CoolTransport]

@@hollyhamilton3319 ik now... I wrote this comment a while ago before i knew

[@trainmaniacstudios8216]

Have they done a last run for the D stock yet. If not then a really big question of mine is, When are they?!

[@thisisstuart7951]

They've all been scraped apart from a few where they be referbished for East Midlands

[@trainmaniacstudios8216]

What?! Not even a special last run? Shame on TFL! The refurbished batch, Thats for the Gunnislake branch right?

[@yo-ku9qk]

Train Maniac They're still D Stock trains out there on the District Line. They will be replaced in Spring!

[@trainmaniacstudios8216]

I know. I believe i saw a rogue unit on my trip last week. They arent giving up easily, the D stcok, are they? :P

[@yo-ku9qk]

They are still going strong.

[@bradleyharwood6060]

I like this video

[@antlucl2599]

Yay new video!!! Keep up the good work! I saw that you got the D78 on camera, but do you think that it will still be in service in late February? (I'm heading to London in February)

[@Luftschlange]

+The Transport World Thanks! I've just been to London in November and most recently a week ago. Unfortunately I haven't seen any D Stock in operation, but maybe someone else here knows more about whether they are already fully withdrawn.

[@antlucl2599]

Luftschlange Okay, thanks for replying! ;) Can't wait to see more!

[@antlucl2599]

Jack Pourgourides Ohhhh yeah!!! Can't wait until I ride it and get some photos of it, last time did I take no photos of it for some reason...

[@antlucl2599]

Jack Pourgourides Ye, I think that it's sort of boring that the Hammersmith & City, District and Circle (and the Metropolitan depends on how you count) will be using the same stocks, I love the s stock, but it would be more fun to see different trains on different lines.

[@TrainBoy-qp3je]

What date is the last d stock operating?

[@TheRollingBear]

Nice video

[@reinohornson5376]

I see the grand tour of London is still going strong! @Luftschlange

[@Luftschlange]

+RHN - The Reino Hornson Network Absolutely. I simply love the city and visit often

[@Great_WesternTVFan]

That's the only 1 remaining d stock in this video

[@olivergray1367]

The Circle line is so irritating because you can't just turn up and travel you have to factor in that you could be waiting 10 mins for a train! And because it serves the mainline stations you quite often end up missing your mainline train!

[@volquetastrucktranshecla6544]

haz un vídeo del metro de Medellín

[@QuarioQuario54321]

At least D Stock is a train because do you know anybody who'd name their baby "D Stock"?

[@ZariDim3012]

7:07 ;(

[@jamesbutler6253]

It was beautiful when it was open to the sky. That roof makes it ugly.

[@TheWkc19]

D stock in 2016? Lul

[@benivanphillips]

Yay more! Also first comment

[@tuckthepuppy2517]

Ubiquitous that’s a new word

[@sgstuff1152]

S stocks are just a bit of shit and boring but D stocks are VivaRail livery so I am excited about D stock new life.
