Great film images, great memories, but had to turn off the sound! Completely inappropriate and awful quality music, I'm afraid. If you have any more, please no music!
I used to take the old districts from a ton town to ravenscourt park and back every day late 70s early eighties and I remember them testing the new stock and it arriving around that time. how antiquated the old trains look forty years on
@@GabrielCohen-b6m It was not splendid, as it was completely out of tune. This has probably been taken from a warped vinyl record that has been distorted in storage over the course of many decades.
Interesting images, but music irritatingly loud and completely out of tune. Please don't feel compelled to play your old warped LPs. We can live with silent pictures in preference. By the way, some of these images are from the 1970s, as the 1938 tube stock was withdrawn from the Northern Line in 1978. They kept running g on the Bakerloo much longer.
Does anybody know what that single Victoria line (or possibly Northern or Bakerloo) car is doing sandwiched between two 1938 motor cars forming a three car train is about ? I would be interested to know.
@ I believe it was something to do with the line voltage and also Croxley Green depot didn’t keep any spare parts for them. Perhaps someone maybe able to confirm this?
Not sure but there were three carriages. At West Ken I remember at odd times of day / night sometimes we had some kind of trade underground (not district line) stock going through in the direction of Barons Court. Unless my memory is playing tricks on me I think they even could go in that direction down the 'wrong' platform...
Information message for all the comments whining about the music: you will probably find that your device is prrovided with a control enabling you to adjust or mute the volume. Why not familiarise yourself with this function and how to use it before posting yet another whining comment.
Thankyou for your comment Andrew. I have made this point. As soon as someone hears or dislikes music then go back to the start and mute. I have had in excess of 3000 views and some people seem quite happy. Whilst the choice of music might not be the best it is what I had available. Also I personally feel that some background music aids viewing - otherwise it can be somewhat tedious.
@@trolleybus654 We shouldn't have to turn this off. Common sense should tell you that nobody wants to listen to music that is both excessively loud and painfully out of tune.

Thanks for uploading v nostalgic for me
Addinsell’s Warsaw Concerto, splendid! Except the LU Standard Stock wasn’t around in the 1980’s.
It was a farewell tour

1:22 weird seeing two standard stock cars sandwiching a 67/72 stock car
AT THE START I THOUGHT I WAS WATCHING ONE OF THEM OLD BLACK AND WHITE SILENT FILMS

Yes definitely more 70s than 80s
And yes the music is awful......what happened to Dave Brubeck?
If I compare it with what I remember from 1984, then only 38ts, 59ts and 73ts match.
You can always just turn the sound down, which I always do
The notes explain that this was the farewell tour of the 1938 stock
@@AndreiTupolev I only spotted a farewell annotation for CO/CP and Q stock

@SIMONWINTER-m6d There is also a shot of it sandwiched between to 1920s Standard Stock motor cars too.
@AdrianLee-ho1ds I wonder what it was about.
I reckon it's the track recording car
TRC666, as I recall
@@AndreiTupolev cheers!!
1972 mk ll stock en route to Watford Junction, very rare, normally it was 1938 stock sent there.
@EM-yk1dw indeed I saw rare pics of a 72mk2 that made it up to Watford Junction before Bakerloo line was cut back to Narrow and Wealdstone
@ I actually remember riding on one to Watford Junction as a child. I think there was a technical reason why the 72s rarely went to Watford Junction.
Throughout the whole film there are trains in weird locations
@@EM-yk1dw why didn't 72mk2 stock go to Watford very often?
@ I believe it was something to do with the line voltage and also Croxley Green depot didn’t keep any spare parts for them. Perhaps someone maybe able to confirm this?
Why was the 67 stock running through Barons Court?

Because it could…🤷♂️🤣
The one with the "V" on the front looks like a railtour.

Jeez, need to do away with that awful music! 👎
Ruined by the music unfortunately
I would imagine most people have a facility to switch off the music whilst viewing.

Music is terrible! Can it!
