This video would be a lot better if you cut out the advert for the scam Jack the Ripper museum.

I was a signalman at Aldgate in the sixth.

In general, I do not find the London Underground that creepy but Aldgate takes the biscuit 😱!

Love this 💗

Absolutely love this video! Wow. I wish they acc listened to such a proposal. Although I must say I am slightly disappointed there was still no mention of a centralised south London line going through Streatham, Thornton Heath/Norbury, West/Central Croydon, Purley then maybe either Redhill via couldson & merstham or Caterham via Warlingham! Would love to know your thoughts!

If you want to find out more about the Jack the Ripper case, do NOT go to the Jack the Ripper Museum. There are many problems with it, including many historical innacuracies. The best way to find out about the case is to watch Vlogging Through History's reaction to Lemino's video on the topic

It is not called Aldgate Junction. The northern junction is called Aldgate Junction, the eastern Aldgate East Junction, and the southern Minories Junction.

The river bus pier is probably the most immediate thing that could be done, though I'm not sure how optimised the boats are as a method of commuting. They may even have tour guides on'em for all I know. I personally think that extending the DLR to Abbey Wood before heading further east would split the traffic out of Thamesmead two ways at least. Additionally, you didn't visit 'Wertham' or where Alex kicked the crap out of a tramp.. .

First class graphics and illustrations and excellently explained!

08:22 That is not a "Police Post Box." That is a "Police Call Point" this simply a Police Phone Box, a smaller version of the larger "Tardis" boxes These smaller one just had a telephone inside a small locked box, with the normal blue lamp on top for the police operator to contact the beat constable. These where used in the days before personal radios.

Nahhhhhh following the southeastern nahhhh this extension is better brixton Streatham hill Streatham

The reason for moving Aldgate East station was not because of tight curves, but to move the eastern junction further east so that the distances between the three junctions were all long enough to accomodate a train. Thus a train could wait on the triangle for the junction ahead to clear without blocking the junction behind - so for example a westbound District train could wait for a Circle to clear the junction ahead without holding up a following H&C.

Lots of fascinating detail, as usual. I assume that the flat junctions are the reason that the general frequencies on the Circle and H&C are very 10 minutes (though I note that in the peaks they manage slighly better than this). Do you think there would be room for an underpass for say the H&C westbound line under Aldgate station, descending steeply from Aldgate East and then ascending less steeply to join the Circle/Met lines nearer Liverpool Street station? Unlike the similar 'duck-under' beteen High-St Ken and Earl's Court, it would only avoid one flat junction, but might be better than nothing ...

During Engineering Works, Hammersmith & City line trains can reverse off the Outer Circle platform.

3:09 Well that's a fantastic bit of trivia about the H&C line.

Interesting video. And make sure you give credit to Carto Metro for their map.

love this akshay 👍🏻

I worked in the signal cabin there in 1961-1962 it was a busy cabin but not as busy as Edgware Road which I also worked. I had a great time working on the underground until management changes working conditions and that’s when morale plummeted and it was then my time to go.

Your diagram truly show why Aldgate Jct. is such a fruitful source for delays.

what, the man is using nimby rail for map

I always found it curious, when heading for Aldgate East, to see Aldgate station as you passed it.

Group of us went to London back in 2019, 2 rail enthusiasts, 2 not so, one ambivalent. We were staying in Whitechapel and had an event in Kew one day so District line direct, easy, so on we all got. Except by the time we'd progressed much along the Circle/District joint line, the train turned in to a Circle Line so we had to change. Non-enthusiasts were not happy, and of course tried blaming us for getting on the wrong train in the first place, and evidence that trains were shit, both at the same time.

Nice video I like your presentation style.

Rather than building an underpass between the 2 stations, you could just extend all Hammersmith and City services to Upminster and cut some District services to Barking

why doesn't the metropolitan line continue to tower hill? replace that junction with a rail roundabout.

I miss when the 40 used to go to Aldgate.

Someone I Know Loves Platform 3 IDK Why. Platform 3 Goes To Wimbledon Richmond Or Ealing Broadway. Some Hammersmith And City Go From Platform 3 But Mostley Platform 6

Great video 👏🏽👏🏽

🙌🏻🙌🏻

Super Akshay Saw u Video Very nice 🎉❤😮

Stratford International ❌️ Stratford southeast ✅️

10:01 reckon the trains TPWS intervened and made the train completely stop? Seems a bit odd that it came to a complete stop when only a yellow aspect for a diverging signal was there

The Victoria line is perfect as it is! It has connections with different lines and transport modes at every station aside from Pimlico. I’d only accept an extension to Crystal Palace only

WE NEED THE DISTRICT AND NORTHERN TO GO CLAPHAM JUNCTION WHOS WITH ME????

Nice high speed actions 👌

Great to see high speed trains in action! Excellent video!! 👏🏽👏🏽

Super Very nice Akshay ma

Good job they don't have those narrow platform for the likes of Bank Station on the London Underground!

I do like your ideas, particularly your connections to Croydon, currently very dependent on surface transport. Hew about a link from Croydon - Cheam - further south? Reigate (or Redhill) - Gatwick (now that Heathrow is well connected) - Crawley!

Love this video!! Great job 👏🏽 👏🏽

Nice video, but rather than spending millions extending the Chingford line just to build Waltham Abbey its own London Overground station, why not just bring back TfL buses? TfL should extend the 215 and 379 to bring back buses from Waltham Abbey to Chingford Station and Chingford Mount as there is nothing anymore. They should bring the 317 back to Upshire via Farm Hill Road where it used to terminate. It would be good if TfL could also take over buses to Loughton tube station as well as Epping, which they also used to run. The private buses that run these days are just awful.
