Moving London emphasizes the importance of the brand, e,g, the London Transport Roundal and how people are meant to feel safe and happy in the arms of LT when being transported about the capital. An interesting documentary from 1983.

I am amazed that while watching this video recently I saw my wife coming up an escalator in the tube. she passed away 30 years ago, so it was so nice to see her even though only for a few seconds. We had been together about a year when this video was taken. Unbelievable and joyful.

Thank goodness it has gone, else we would be stuck in some kind of weird theme park. Look how other cities have changed and for the better. No longer do people have to commute to work and be apart from their families, London is not just for work - but homes too occupy many central areas in new apartments. Who would have thought so much would be done to discourage the car and welcome in more options for those than just having transport by car.

We moved North in 72 so to me these 80's shots are of a London changed in just ten years, 'new' red phone boxes, roundels on the bus fleet instead of gold London Transport. So, a new picture of the Capital even though its now so dated (!)

London hasn't gone anywhere so how can it as you say "be back one day" ... Its here as its always been, and is like any big city for ever changing, its peoples rose coloured glasses that are the problem, as they keep one living in the past, that's fine but you have to realise that nothing stays the same and everything progresses and is renewed, that may not always be for the better, but that really comes down to peoples individual perceptions, London will always be a beautiful city and always has been.

For the trains they have quite a few units on heritage railways and all that, the Epping and Ongar Railway in Essex (I think) has some and the Isle of Wight railways had some but were replaced, all the units were transferred to the Isle of Wight steam railway instead, so there’s some there. Not sure if they’re running or in the museum but you can still go in them.

London's population in 1983 was roughly 6 million, by 2021 it will reach close to 10 million. roughly 2 million increase alone happened between 2001-2016, That's a short space for a such a rapid increase of people in a dense area, And people wonder why buses are running late, the tube on some busy stations have to close the gates for crowd control, The system isn't designed to cope with this many people.

Massive nostalgia for me, I in the 70's rode the cushions of every in service RT and RM that LT operated including the 4 RM expresses that ran out of a unlisted garage in Penge that were hired out for other duties, also did all the Red Arrows when Merlin's and again when they were Leyland National's and then did all the LT Nationals, MCW's etc in late 70's adding their numbers to what became a telephone book of bus numbers lol Even the LC routes like the 410 I rode often and that was a hoary old ride in the old RT's going down Biggin Hill and the panicked expressions of the driver, more fun going up as driver and following traffic invented new swear words as the wheezy old things used to crawl up that incredibly steep hill hehe I do despair at the abject mess made of today's London, it used to be such a lively, friendly place but today seems to be full of people sneering at them with a penny less and fawning at those with a penny more as me nan would have said and she was a bus driver during the war, got a medal too for saving passengers when her bus got bombed.

It's a bit unsettling to see the original wooden escalators still in use in 1983. In 1987, a wooden escalator at King's Cross caught fire from a discarded cigarette, killing 31 people. As a result, London Transport began replacing all of the wooden escalators in the entire Underground.

This can't be true, the BBC keep telling us England, particular London has had a large ethnic community since Tudor times and before, the buss drivers don't look ethnic but it's only 1983 we're told they'd all been ethnic for at least 20 years by this time, how could they have built Britain for us?

This would be a fantastic resource for our Year 6 classes as part of their London & Brighton geography and history topic! Following the changes to transport over the years; how the city grew; links to historical events; building their own map of the underground lines over time; researching what has changed in London transport since 1983 and comparing then to the present day. and spotting some of the famous landmarks.

I love that the passenger(s) at 11.10 are politely standing aside to LET PEOPLE OFF THE TRAIN FIRST, as any sensible person would. Nowadays you see idiots standing in the way trying to get on first. unfortunately the intelligence of some people has regressed since the 80s rather than advanced.

The CloneX2 ... Its a simple case of people were far better mannered back in the 1970s and 1980s than they are today, people really were far nicer back then, today people just seem to ignore each other, people were far friendlier back then, society wasn't so me, me, me back then.

I myself have opened doors, and gone out of my way to help mainly women of this ilk.......and have received no thanks for my trouble. And judging by footage of oxford street etc: half of London seems to be full of people of this ilk.

In 1983 I was five years old. I remember seeing people smoking 🚬 on the trains. I remember the busy interchange at a station that looked like the central Line with my mum. A man got off and his cigarette burnt my hand. The older underground trains smelt a certain way and the seats were more comfortable. Back then we were paying cash 💰 fares

Red Rover tickets, care free days of jumping on and off those wonderful Routemaster buses ... they were the days, when you would get told off by the conductor for hanging out the side of the bus gripping the handle, and then once you got off shouting a mouthful of abuse at them ... wonderful forgotten insults such as Tosser, Wanker, old git, and worse, oh how those conductors must have just loved us kids 🙂
