- Not everyone plays by the rules when it comes to public transport. So what happens when criminals are caught trying to avoid paying the same fares as everyone else?
For the first time in its history, London Underground has opened its doors to record the day-to-day life of its 16,500 staff who work across a network of 275 stations and 507 trains running on over 300 miles of track. Every year more than one billion people use The Tube that's 3 million journeys a day; commuters, holiday-makers, day-trippers, businessmen and women, students, overseas visitors.
This series goes behind the scenes to tell the story of some of the dedicated and colourful characters who work for LU, doing a difficult job under often challenging and stressful circumstances.

"One time I asked a guy for a ticket and he showed me a handgun, that to me was authority to travel" I died 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Well to be honest. I would not want to argue with a guy while being held at gun point. Would you?
@@itmkoeln ofcourse not he can take as many train rides as he wants, I'll give him VIP class service
iRoast Toast 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Fake story
Its london, I doubt its fake, anything is possible.@@areguapiri
"And that, to me, was authority to travel"
Andrew Baker 😂😂😂😂 I wasn’t gonna argue with him
Everything is free with a handgun.
Most people have to wait for their McDonalds, but with a gun, you just get someone elses food without any delay, buy today.
@@shunbalasundaram9072 I hope no one started an argument with that passenger on the train.
I guess im asking the wrong place but does anyone know of a method to get back into an Instagram account?
I was stupid forgot the login password. I love any help you can offer me
@Kai Ramon instablaster :)
14:45 James Bond humming the US National Anthem working a London Tube Announcer Booth lol
Could vomit if I hear this fucking anthem. God save the Queen is 1,000 times better.
I love London smh there’s always gotta be that one person who just hates everything American.
@@lindenbeck It is good but I do not feel it is "better" by any quotient but GG that you do.
They missed a chance to put in the James bond theme
@@lindenbeck are you for fucking real? God save the queen has to be one of the worst anthems ever!
10:14 the guy who missed the train tries to pull open the doors 😂
Lolol
Im dead 🤣🤣
"You miss 100% of the shots you don't take". hey he gotta try at least lol
I scrolled down to see if someone timestamped that hahhaaha
5:13 She seems super sweet, bless her and the station manager for his patience.
sadly she isn’t what she seems, always causes chaos at mecca bingo romford
@@terminx7841 you can't just say that based off of the other guy commenting, or this will end up as chinese whispers
Liam Gaine Someone hasnt seen the autistic lady in person
Just a mildly unfortunate situation for both sides
5:19 does her shirt say enjoy cocaine?
Matthew Eckler it does aswell 😂😂
And it’s in the Cola font wtf 😂
She probably ain’t autistic but just high on crack 😂😂😂
i used to know that girl
She used to come in the Mecca Bingo at Romford and terrorise the place
Yes...yes it does...😂
3:21 - i used to know that girl
She used to come in the Mecca Bingo at Romford and terrorise the place
I used to know her too. She bangs like a barn door in a hurricane.
@Ann-Marie Paliukenas she's an entitled little shit who think autism is a do what you want and get away with it card, people are like her are the problem
@@MegaArrighi So anything i have a compulsion to do, I should just be left to it?
@@MegaArrighi Nobody was judging her. The man didn't know her. He was doing a job, which he is paid for. Her safety, was his responsibility, while on those premises. If she can't control her actions, due to a disorder that would cause her to put herself or others into danger, then she shouldn't be allowed to go out and live independently.
@@MegaArrighi I didn't measure whether it's a large or tiny chance that someone would be hit by a train, due to a duty to safeguard her, but even this "tiny" chance is too much. If she was only putting herself into danger and no one was assigned the duty of keeping her away from danger, I'd not care, as it's her own life. But, this is a society where one person's actions negatively affect the lives of others. If we want to be a society of order, we all have an obligation to cooperate. Those who have disorders that cause them to put themselves and or others into danger, or even generally be uncooperative, probably should be locked away where they won't have to worry about what they can't help, due to some kind of compulsion, instead of out here with those of us who get on well. There are institutions for people like this.
It was clear from Tom’s movements and breathing he wasn’t healthy.
Katey M this sounded like it was something the narrator would say
Before they even said that he had taken ill, I was thinking it by the way he was wheezing and spluttering after going through the security doors.
@@DreamClean guy sounded like a frickin pug... No shit he was sick...
4:30 "I'm not one of those crazy people"
@@LeahUK Sounds like OCD or someone that can't deal with change. Anxiety perhaps.
look at her tshirt
I absolutely l o v e speaking French to Montreal strangers like she sounds in that Asian tongue! Doing so trumps their _Joual,_ amuses them, and thus eliminates their snobbism at me when customarily speaking _Métropolitain_ French to them. Otherwise, this useless programme needlessly shows some kinda zoo status of that there subway..oh well.
kappa
trainrover calm down and what has French and montréal have to do with this
Our experiences with the London Underground staff has always been very positive and polite. The stations are immaculate and the signage/announcement were very clear. We would score London Underground 10/10.
I will give her respect, she knows he affliction, she knows how to control it, and she knows what sets her off. Great job !
She needs a guide dog.
wow. how impressive
14:32 The name’s Bond....JAMES BOND
Kim Jong-un is he going to blow up your country 😂
Kim Jong-un Avery what are you doing here?
i think kim has a man crush
which is a good thing
When I worked on the buses between 1987 and 1994 i dealt with fair dodgers, freaks, weidros, alcholics, football hooligans, vandalism, occassionally people dying and stupid school kids on a weekly basis. I can seee from this video I made the right decision to leave the buses because working with the public has not improved and if anything it has got much worse!
Fare*
Fare dodgers will always be there mate given the steep prices of tfl services nowadays 😂
10:14 never skip arm day.
4:33 ‘I’m not one of those crazy people’ 😶😂😂
But you are luv'. You are.
@Jared I know this but some people use autism as a excuse to do as they like. There is nothing to say this woman does have autism I can say I'm an astronaught but I dont have proof I am.
@@melina001a Do you know what autism is?
Pete S. everyone and their momma claim either there have or their kids have autism.....also everyone claims to have ptsd.... it makes things harder who actually live with these conditions
@@nighthawwwk She obviously meant that she isn't suicidal
"WHY YOU NOT PAY"
"Because I'm poor"
"NO, YOU MUST WALK 30 MILES THEN".
Fake a heart attack, then you'll get a lift to the hospital and they'll forget the fare 😂
Restricted areas of the platforms on the New York City Subway are totally blocked off. There is no access to that restricted area. I have to say that gardening on the platform is a pretty neat idea!!
All the best to Tom thank you for your valued service in the millitary and in logistics
I hope he gets his pension and the NHS take care of all his medical and hospitalization needs.
10:15 rip that guy missed his train and tried to force the doors open 😂
Really enjoying this series.
I find it interesting that, despite the nonsense that the Tube employees must put up with (on a daily basis), those that have featured say that they enjoy their job and will find it difficult to leave when the time comes. Great attitude and much appreciated by a great number of customers.
LOVE the sound of those Jubilee Line trains!
Working for TfL is a huge merit and achievement to have in terms of career ambitions.
The roles such as a train station attendant or passenger liaison at stations hold great significance and therefore further motivates individuals to be part of TfL.
At the Ticket Gates:
Scuse me mate, My Glock doesn't seem to be scanning properly, can you open the gates for us?
10:15 some guy in the background trying to open one of the train doors 😂😂
Tom is a bacon butty away from a heart attack.......sounds like darth vader with asthma
OSA
Very rude of you to call him Darth Vader with asthma.
Bacon butty away...🤣🤣🤣
Rip Tom mate ❣️
Hope e gets better asap
I was a conductor in my young days and later on i became a bus driver. In the mid seventies me and my driver was crewing a one man operated route. In the evening i brought down from Golcar some rowdy young lads to town for their night out when we did the last bus to Golcar one of the lads paid just to Thornton lodge about a quarter way to Golcar. So i went upstairs to get rest of the money he owed which he stood up and dropped his pants and undies and said take thirty pence out of that. So i said to him i could not get half a pence out of it as there is nothing to look at. Everybody upstairs laughed at him i made him feel one inch tall. He paid the remainder of the fare and pulled his undies and trousers up. When everybody was getting of the bus they give me high fives. And said that was brilliant. I put him in his place.
nice one Ian
Harry Harry makes sense
@Harry Harry racist
@Harry Harry......and because he didn't shoot up the entire platform he must NOT have been white 🙄
Well done
They must be proud telling their grandchildren how they saved TFL £2.50
Fucking jobsworth😂😂😂
Thank you for uploading this! I’m a fare inspector/ transit security officer in the US and was wondering how our cousins across the pond functioned.
DaddyTitoplz yeah, go look on our Croydon tramlink and a few London Underground stations. No barriers and a lacking of CCTV. Plus most tramlink stations are not staffed.
@@Daniel-0093 I've never seen a staffed Tramlink station unless there are works on the line.
The point of trams is they have train capacity and bus functionality, removing the need for station staff.
Ronniebon Gaming yes I understand that, but the fact it that how people evade fares which causes TfL to lose a fortune. It is also known that some parts of the tram network are in areas of crime and poverty which raises the percentage of fare evading.
@@Daniel-0093 Sounds like panicked dog whistle to me...
10:14 oh my life literally just wait for the next one, it's not gonna kill you
Getting on that train could mean he doesn't be late to work and save his job.
Or the next train scheduled for arrival may mean he will be late to work, despite planning ahead for the commute.
@@fredgalaxy7632 I do understand that, honest - but these trains need to move, they aren't legally forced to wait for everyone to get in. Forcing the door open like this gentleman did, could easily cause that door to develop a fault, and the next thing you know, the train has to be taken out of service - believe me that _does_ happen.
7:15 £10!!! When was this filmed? It’s £80 now
Ha if it was still £10 it would be cheaper to be fined than to pay
It was filmed in 2002 because my dad (who works for London Ambulance) Was Called to a job at a station when they were filming
@@Kaiyats not really. A one way journey in Zone 1 costs about £3.50
@@harrytallon3306this season was filmed in 2005
The staff on the tube make visiting London an experience, you know they been asked the same dumb tourist question over and over again, but they are never grumpy.
We’ve run into some different tube staff
6:03 They do this on Adelaide Metro too, the ticket inspectors usually work in pairs, and a lone ticket inspector is very rare, it's not impossible to have 6 ticket inspectors in the same carriage, by the time that train was nearing the end of the line there were more ticket inspectors then there were passengers!
The ticket inspectors don't do anything nowadays lol, these ones were actually serious abt their jobs 😂😂😂
..."than"...
They are all so lovely British. Bless them.
*Tosses guy out window* "....no ticket."
14:32 station supervisor named James Bond lol
This video almost 10 years old. If not even more.
Yem Eni still nice to have a high quality upload... some episodes of this series are hard to find anywhere else. It’s good that they’re putting them all up in sequence and in decent quality.
Michael Kelly true.

Filmed in 2002 so 17 year old

Taking a bite out of crime for sure I can see the crime dropping
Absolutely love hearing someone singing in my language 💙💙💙
"kemcho, namaste" lol love that women for say that 😂😂
You know you're in Britain when everyone is wearing hi-viz jackets and is trying to stay away from any conceivable threat by a minimum of ten metres.
Station supervisors James Bond 🤣
You just had to upload at 10pm
14:31 station supervisor James Bond :D
Did anyone else notice her shirt at 5:21 ?
The bloke who had to go out on medical reminds me of Onslow
5:54 OMFG THE SHIRT XD
Watching this to learn from my fellow fair evaders mistakes
Watching this i was saying to myself that Tom character is not a fit well man. Always wheezing and out of breath.
I like watching this because it’s good
lmao at the kame cho, that lady is something else
Next time I want a free ride I will whip out me weapon.
Pee shooter?
im a big underground fan and im always grateful to station staff because of my visual impairment they are amazing and go out of their way to ensure my safety and direct me either with me or direct my route
Why is this in my recommended? And wow, this is from 2005.
m8055 really 2005?
He’s sooo unfit he sounds out of breath just by talking sounds like a heart attack waiting to happen
It's the same in most places; if you look for intrigue, you will surely find it . . .public transport is no different; violence and criminals wielding knives or even firearms will materialise, if you are not vigilant.
I encountered a couple of fare dodging police on a London Bus of all modes; and who demanded to know if I had a 'Freedom Pass', which I had used to board the bus.
They weren't showing any authorizing badges, so I wasn't showing mine.
That seemed to offend them, until they got a real dodger, which distracted them and they forgot about me.
I also happened to have a driving licence, senior citizen's card and as passport as 'photo I.D.' which was easily seen when extracting my 'Freedom Pass' from my wallet.
But, I may have looked 'a bit suspect' to them, despite my grey hair and advanced years. . .
It is however, the only 'run-in' I've ever had with fare evasion inspectors, even when I was not a pensioner.
5:50 "ive been sworn at, spat at"
Someone's going to be thrown in front of a moving train if that was me
Ooo scary
Of course they will big man
And cause a one under!? The ERU would be pissed, and need to be restrained before they make you pul him out. And that's after British Transport Police did the equivalent of "hit by a warrent"
I think James Bond got fired at MI6 and he got a new job at North Harrow 😂
Cocoa cola is going to sue cocaine.
In Prague, Czech Republic, you have to pay only half of your fare evasion penalty (400 rather than 800 CZK) if you buy a 1 year coupon (for 3650 CZK = 10 CZK/day) with it, which is a really good approach London should try.
What Prague should try is imprisonemet for regular fare evadors, some people need to learn the hard way...
Nice to see Twiggy is doing alright for himself now eh lad.
With autism, sufferers can have varying degrees of OCD, and changes to routines can cause mental chaos!
So the rules should not aply for her?
the disables woman with adhd should not be allowed to stand in an unsafe place just because its her routine , what if she causes an accident?
Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view !"
Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam."
Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!"
Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..."
Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!"
Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky."
Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction."
Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment ?
Great video this really enjoyed seeing behind the scenes at the station
There’s literally someone called James Bond
That polish geezer was definitely at harrow-on-the-hill station
Makes you proud to be British🇬🇧🇬🇧
Did anyone else notice the young women’s top said ‘enjoy cocaine’
And the tourists pay loads on travel by covering the oxford circus- Tottenham ct rd by single journey payments, so the profits are rolling in. Don't panic, I pay for my travels
Did Onslow's benefits run out? Had to get himself a job? Nice!
Haha I was just going to comment that 😂 must have finally caved in and got away from hyacinth
Omg I thought the same thing!
“Enjoy cocaine”
Oh yeah, there are plenty of those on the NYC Subway, and the MTA doesn't even care about them
Customer's always right
The number of times here in Brisbane I have witnessed bus drivers saying "you need to pay but I will let you on anyway, its your fault if you get in trouble" is surprising. Although a lot of that is because the drivers need to not leave people behind (kids/teenagers especially) in case they have no other way to get home.
That and the drivers dont want to be in a position where the passenger in question gets violent.
@@jfwfreo if you call the police you have to make a police report so no operator wants to waste their time everyday.
I love British documentaries, they are saw RAAAAW👌🏼
what?
Did that man just hum the US national anthem
I love how 'Spark' went thru like 40 logo changes - lol
Blokes be like, " the petunias looking a bit full"
15:02 All The Stations, all of them
He said all stations to Aldgate station
Indiana Jones when he threw the Nazi officer off the airship.
"No Ticket!"
As an American, I hope this show isn't misrepresenting the amount of people randomly singing in public...
I wish we had more random singing.
That 'Enjoy Cocaine' shirt though. Lmao!
This is comedy gold
5:02 did she die? NO!
That man was nice though
Well the folk look smart clean stations even with scaffolding quite a refreshing change to the old days.
27%-46% of NYC fare evades lmao they’ve stepped up enforcement recently
"I am autistic, I have to stand here!"
Her shirt: "Enjoy cocaine!"
4:30 "I'm not one of those crazy people"
Really...?
"shown handgun ... as authority to travel" 🙂 although no laughing matter at the time
Bruh the woman from the beginning is wearing a shirt that says "enjoy cocaine" 5:19
Cormac Rohda I didn’t notice that 🤨🧐😂
Why do the zones exist? Proof-of-payment require more people. Why not a flat fare for the entire TfL network. You’d still need to touch out if your journey involves national rail excluding Elizabeth Line and Overground.
So that they can calculate the fare depending on distance travelled.
Binary Signals Why not have a flat fare for everything?
@@QuarioQuario54321 because demand is much higher in zone 1, for the main tourist, business and governement area so a premium is applied. Busses and trams have a flat fare of £1.50 and all off peak train travel irrelevant of changes between zone 2 and 6 is £1.50 (apr 2019).
London is 30km x 30km, so it would also be unfair to charge the same fare for 1 stop as it would be to travel the entire length. (50km including Reading and Gatwick)
Binary Signals It’s been proven it can work through New York, which has 154 more stations and has a flat $2.75 for everything.
@@QuarioQuario54321 It doesn't if you include the suburban rail network which is in the same fare system, if you include Londons suburban rail, which operates on metro frequency, the total is 619. Twice the size of NYC system. This is also failing to include the outter london reaches which the fare system applies to, such as watford, gatwick airport, which would easily cover another 100+ stations as well as covering a 50x50 km area. This would also be a backward step with the overall objective for numerous transport bodies and authorities in terms of integrating the contactless payment method accross the entire commuter belt for London which covers 200 x 200 sq km.
You still thinking a flat fare would work?
James Bond worked on the Tube?
The Enjoy Cocaine person would be much worse if I was there as the staff, as I would tell the person off the network if it didn't comply to the first warning. Rules are rules, if you do not abide by them, you cannot use the facilities. Simple.
14:29 Anyone else get a little confused here? I sure did! XD
I recall asking a person for a ticket ..he showed me a hand gun .. and that was authorities to travel I wasn’t gonna argue with him ... 😂😂
Agfooye miyad joogta sxb? Kkkkkkk 🤣🤣
Maya
god i wish they bring this show back it;s the best i think show next to god word on youtub i say thank so much for feel good show and hard working people they bring to are lives god bless spark you guys are the best going keep up the good work everyone at spark.
Bunking the train whilst watching 😅
14:32 The names Bond... James Bond
Is it just me or is that green competition just a way for TfL to get free gardening?
If it was not such robbery people wouldn’t have to steal
mikey fry well, could say the same about coffee chains. Average fare cost about 2.50£, you can always get a bus for £1.5. It’s a crime! It’s a joke when people with designer bags, shopping in their hands or endless coffees robbing tfl and then complain that they don’t carry any improvements. People need to stop stealing and start to be customers first in order to demand any services.
They don’t carry out any improvements because they are thieving cunts and do not invest in improved services keep robbing them I say ha like Robbin hood
DECRIMINALIZE FARE EVASION LONDON TFL (TUBE/BUS/TRAM)
I just noticed her shirt says enjoy cocaine smh lmaooii
James Bond 😂
Yeah crime of the century not paying for trains tickets, terrible behaviour.
