Tour of Holborn (Aldwych Branch)

[@tomthornton6259]

Interesting video! While Aldwych itself is quite famous, and several other disused stations are remembered too (namely the jubilee platforms at Charing Cross), it's easy to forget that it's mirrored by platforms at Holborn. Come to think of it, I'm not sure there's much known imagery of these platforms (certainly the first time I'd seen them), so thanks for sharing!

[@OKB1133]

There is also a sub-station in the old lift shafts, hence all the power cables in passageways.

[@AlisonBryen]

You lucky thing...I'd like to visit Aldwych station one day...

[@romeo1372]

[@anaMZR]

Same for me

[@martinevans7090]

FYI - it's not a green light at 4:10 it's a lens flare caused by the lights on the wall opposite.

[@madaboutrains]

Thanks

[@Puckoon2002]

Actually the green light is a refection of the light opposite, the reflection is between the various elements of the cameras lens, the colouration comes from the coating on the elements.

Is that a 1972 stock or 1973 stock in the tunnel

[@michaelward2082]

[@josefshirin5318]

[@johnhawkins6506]

Amazing video!

[@hellotherekindsir1137]

0:24 who can see a picadilly line train in the tunnel?

[@NC-002]

That's not a Piccadilly Line train. It's an old Northern Line train (1972 stock)

[@hu6860]

@@NC-002 Okay

[@truecrime333]

I'm the trouble starta...

[@madaboutrains]

[@Kabaniko-san]

3:59 is that a bellmouth or backlog?

[@Garfie489]

Out of interest, is it known why they chose to use the crossover rather than just keeping a straight tunnel open?

[@davidfalconer8913]

Possibly , the whole section of tiles was removed by ( unnamed ! ) L U L employee to tile his toilet ( an estate agent's premier selling point , in Dalston? ? ) ..........................

[@muizyusuf610]

[@lucinum9012]

[@itsbrutalouthere]

[@bermal209]

Prodigy Vibes

[@DaveInBridport]

Is track current still on?

[@RichardsAdventures]

Place ment be hauntrd green light spooky lol

[@stephthestar90]

If the planned upgrade to this station goes ahead, this platform will become a new passenger tunnel. I hope they keep some of the original tiling (which can be seen behind the test panels) or even replicate it. It's the only remnants of the station's Leslie Green origins left.

[@RichardsAdventures]

I still gt do this

[@lucatrifan2797]

Actually, the power on the tracks is off overnight.

[@SpudderRail]

luca ioan not always, you should still never touch the DCCR's just incase

[@seiran6002]

Wesley Holt none of the power shuts off on the central line because of the night tube

[@harvz8488]

1 lady said is not

[@harrymb04]

Holborn is still used to this very day

[@madone7583]

MatchAttax IRL We all know that but there are disused platforms (5 & 6) that lead to Aldwych station. These two platforms and the entire Aldwych branch of the Piccadilly line was shut down. Now there is a white plastic wall at the end of the staircase where iron bars were that you could see into. He got exclusive access to the disused platforms at Holborn station

[@N228PF]

Dude. You need to check your spelling and grammar. But I liked the lower third titles.

[@madaboutrains]

Thanks

[@hughbiggins4339]

Interesting enough, but the dodgy grammar and punctuation on display is a turn-off.

[@samhart3110]

Really wtf man

[@harvz8488]

Is not haunted

[@DaveInBridport]

Is track current still on?

[@4trainfan909]

Yep.
