Geoff Marshall travels the length of the Jubilee Line to discover some of its more unusual features. He finds a secret governmental tube entrance, the network's most pointless waiting room, and an elephant.

@2:30 The Jubilee line was originally going to be called the Fleet Line - a brilliant name. It not only went to Charing Cross, but the tunnels continued for maybe another half-mile further east (I've walked them) heading for the City of London. It would have gone under The Strand and Fleet Street with stations at places like Ludgate Circus - a route below a major London thoroughfare not well served by the Tube.

The line is still powered by DC. The stock use an AC traction package. You also see this on mainline stock, the SWT Desiros have the AC traction package so give that UFO sound when they move off. 377s make a sound not dissimilar from the Jubilee stock. AIUI the AC motors are more efficient than the DC ones, so the energy loss by conversion is still worthwhile with the motor power.

The Jubilee and Northern lines are my favourite lines on the whole underground network anyway. I love the sound that the trains make as they slow down to stop and speed up again on the jubilee line, and using Waterloo, southwark, London bridge and canary wharf as an example, the general look of the corridors etc is a fond memory for me :-)

A nice introduction. It's interesting, to me, that the Jubilee Line from Finchley Road to Stanmore started life as the Metropolitan Line, then it became severed from the Met as a branch of the Bakerloo Line, with the tube section added between Finchley Road and Baker Street to relieve congestion and allow Met trains to run fast. Then in the 1970s, the tunnel from Baker Street to Charing Cross was built, the Stanmore branch of the Bakerloo was severed and the Jubilee Line was born. Initially, the proposal was for trains to carry on beyond Charing Cross under the Strand to Fleet Street, hence the original proposed name: the Fleet line. This could have provided interchange at Aldwych, and led to that station remaining open, in some form! Out east, the section from Stratford to Canning Town was built parallel to the old Eastern Counties Railway branch to North Woolwich, now mostly the DLR. Overall, one of LU's most complex line histories!

My late grandmother used to live just a short bus ride or a 20-minute walk from Queensbury Station and seeing the roundabout with the huge roundel has taken me way back. When I stayed with her I'd often walk to her house from that station rather than catch the bus.

stumbled into this film by chance, what a discovery! I used to work on the construction site at the west end of Trafalgar Square in 1972. Worked with over 100 Irish navvies-absolutely wonderful guys- had a whip-round for me when I left for a expedition to South America. They sunk an access shaft for supplying the concrete segments and taking away the spoil, in this case London clay. Great times, I found out who are your best friends & comrades.............

I find it strange that the jubilee line initially only ran to Charing Cross - given that it took over the Bakerloo line part from Stanmore to Baker Street, and the Bakerloo already ran to Charing Cross, the only new part that was actually added was a separate route from Baker Street to Charing Cross (via Bond St. and Green Park in instead of Regent's Park, Oxford Circus and Piccadilly Circus). Why was this deemed necessary back in the 70s? And why did it take them 20 years to extend it? I'm not saying there wasn't a reason, I'm just quite confused

The original plans for the Fleet line (as it was then called) planned for a phased extension east of Charing Cross (Phase 2 would have been under Central London to Fenchurch Street via Aldwych and Ludgate Hill, for example, with Phase 3 planned to take the line east into the Docklands or down to Lewisham in various iterations). Unfortunately, these plans took so long to not finalise that the funding was kiboshed until someone a bit happier with trains was around in power, at which point the present route down via the South Bank was selected instead, and to avoid a ridiculous chicane in the line the plan advocated for Charing X to be bypassed in favour of Westminster. Jago Hazzard has an excellent series of videos on the potential Jubilee line extensions we could have got that explain it far better than I do - well worth a watch!

Westminster station before the rebuild used to have an exit solely for staff and MPs straight into the Houses of Parliament, not Portcullis House opposite, directly under Big Ben. Used to see parliamentary passes there checked by an old chap behind a desk and chandeliers in the distance.

Canary Wharf station looks more like an airport terminal than a tube station, but I must admit it's one of the most impressive stations on the JLE. In fact all the stations on the extension are impressive in some way. It's one reason I love the tube - on some parts you have modern futuristic stations and on others you have Victorian and Edwardian gloom.

There too many comments to read them all to check that this ‘new’ secret hasn’t appeared before: there is an secret back entrance to Canning Town on Bow Creek. From here there’s a bridge footbridge over to the new development on City Island and down to Trinity Bouy Wharf. Also there’s the lovely secret Limmo Eco Park which is easily accessed via the Canning Town Bow Creek exit and around the park there’s a ton of old bridges, passageways and infrastructure to explore.
