You told the world the hacks that only London people know.. shhhh don’t tell everyone. Use it wisely. Good content as always
Someone was gonna spill them eventually haha!
Another is do not clog up the wheelchair spaces with luggage! I often have issues when I use the Elizabeth line in my small travel mobility scooter
Amen!
I just thought I'd stop by to make a y'know, wassname, diddly doo dah, comment 😉
Fun vid, great voiceover 👍
I don’t often use the Elizabeth Line, if I’m travelling across London it tends to be North-South rather than East-West.if I do use it then it’s normally between Farringdon and Stratford, Maryland or Romford.
However, I do occasionally use it from Heathrow 2,3 when changing from the SL7 bus. I go down the stairs or escalators outside the bus station, opposite the entrance to the toilets and then along the two travelators to the rail station, then down the three escalators just inside the ticket gates to the platform. If you look over the right side of the first escalator just after getting on it you can see a floor below, which is at platform level. Considering that at that point you’re already well below ground level it’s remarkable how deep these platforms are.
I actually wanted to get on the Elizabeth line at Barbican today, a station which I don’t normally use. Couldn’t find the way to the Elizabeth line, ended up taking the Underground to Farringdon and changing there, but had to walk to the front of the train for the exit at Romford.
I like the Elizabeth Line and since it was built it has changed everything and it’s made travelling into London lot more easier. Especially when you are travelling from Reading, Abbey Wood, Shenfield, Stratford, Ealing Broadway and of course Heathrow Airport.
Plus with 10 extra Class 345s on order that will increase the number of rolling stocks from 70 to 80 Class 345 9-Car trains. And I don’t think that there would be any plans to extend them to 10-Car for long time.
A hack is to actually go to the middle of the train when it's busy as the front and rear get packed as most station exits/entrances are there.
This is the opposite to what I find is optimal on most tube lines where the first and last carriage are usually the quietest, despite most tube stations also having an entry or exit on one side (especially in the suburbs)
I still like the Elizabeth Line as it’s lot easier to get into London much quicker than having to change trains that takes even more longer. It’s nice to have the Elizabeth Line to serve Heathrow Airport as well.
Hack 1: For one thing you probably don't know which will be the better end to be at when you get off. And even if you do, the less you walk after getting off, the more you had to walk to get to the right door to get on at.
That’s why a cheeky look on Citymapper before the train comes is a lifeline
You know tip number 3? I was actually the first one to make a video on that. I have known about that trick for three years now and usually I do it because why not
What’s annoying is that at Paddington and your changing from the district line to the Elizabeth line you have to tap out and tap back in
hi ik this is irrelevant but one of your vids was played in my gcse geography class, and I knew you lol
If Georgina from Ealing is watching this, let us know in the comments if the feeling is mutual.
Here's a hack: bring a cusion because the seats are just glossed-up 700 ironing boards
They’re not that bad, surely? Granted, I only use the Elizabeth line for shorter journeys (though am minded to use GA to Shenfield and GWR towards Reading).
Not Star Alliance 😫
Elizabeth Line Class 345
Theres your first mistake, using an Oyster card..... its cheaper to use contactless (card or phone)
Pretty sure they’re the same price when you use either. Plus I’ve got my railcard loaded for 1/3 off off peak travel 😁
how?
No, it's the same fares on both oyster and contactless cards. Possibly you're thinking of the Reading section, where contactless is valid but Oyster isn't?
