Part I: • LU: Slow/Fast Trains o...
This is the second and final part of my film on the District and Piccadilly lines.
Today we continue our journey along the District and Piccadilly line routes where we left off in the previous part.
The first station in the film is Turnham Green. This station is served by the District line alone most of the time and the Piccadilly line rushes through the station (except early mornings and late evenings, when Piccadilly line services also stop here).
The next station is Chiswick Park, which has a very interesting and quite unusual architecture. Originally opened in 1879, it has been rebuilt between 1931 and 1932 to today’s appearance.
The final station in the film is Acton Town, which is also the first station where the Piccadilly line regularly stops after Hammersmith station. Acton Town is quite busy and we see some crowded Piccadilly and District line services stopping in beautiful evening light.
Enjoy!
Filmed on 19 October 2015.
London subways are so clean wow

OK so at 04:30 to 04:37 there was this snipping hissing electric noise on the tracks and it came as that Piccadilly line train approached that curve before the station who knows what it was and why do subway train and light rail trains tracks make that noise someone please tell me. also I like that neighborhood and that station it looks quite peaceful there.
the sound from the rails is the trains conductor shoe making contact and sliding on the conductor rail.
+Stephen Boyle oh well how come light rail trains and other subway trains make that noise even though subway trains in America have one third rail
its the sound is the vibrations through the rail.

"Piccadilly line: The train now approaching is to Arnos Grove. Please stand back from the platform edge."

thanks for posting again. I was looking forward to it. Greetings from Bogotá, Colombia
Watch some of your vids at time to time. Glad you came over across the pond and sampled the London Underground personally.
Luckily you came over in time before the D Stock (District Line) gets withdrawn, very soon.
The District Line runs as a local service using outer tracks, and the Piccadilly Line runs as an express, using inner tracks.
lol I watched the whole video without the captions on but I enjoyed looking at the trains either way
Nice one
WOW I LOVE IT
Of course no Piccadilly Line trains stop at Ravenscourt Park, Stamford Brook or Chiswick Park and for most of the day they also skip Turnham Green.
Reminiscent of NYC where peak direction express service is offered on 3 track sections of elevated lines. 😀😀
nice video and for the D78 it's BMT/IND sized which means it can possibly run as a Museum train from Coney Island to Jamaica Center /207th street via D train's Manhattan Bridge or F train's Rutgers Street tunnel
EpicThe112 lu trains wont work on the nyc electrification or signalling system
Sometimes at Ravenscourt Park (both directions) and Stamford Brook (westbound only), Piccadilly line trains change drivers.
Informative and good quality video! Thanks for uploading! Greetings from Groningen (NL)!
3 of you get your picture!
Great video! It's a shame that D78 stock is not in use anymore, it was my favorite stock.
+Finnish Railways I was in London a week ago, and there were still some D78 stock trains in use, but not many.
The D Stock as of the 10th of August 2016 s still in frontline service, full withdrawal cannot take place because S7 Stock for the District Line is being used for the testing of Automatic Train Operation (ATO) at the Old Dalby test track.Furthermore new trains are still being stored at Ruislip depot waiting to be commissioned.These combined factors will prolong the demise of the D78 stock until at least mid-September.Also I hear that a 5 car unit of D78 will be used on the Metropolitan Line as a Rail Adhesion Train(RAT).
@@Luftschlange hi
@@Luftschlange hi
amazing video and keep up the good work
KOOTHA KOOTHA so your into hating on a comment made 4 years ago. Kinda weird tbh
Very fast mate
Great video. I'd just like to ask how you made the 'fade from grayscale to colour' effect at the beginning of your videos? I couldn't find it in any obvious places in iMovie.
+Victor Tsai That's easy: Take a clip and split it where you want the fade to occur. Make one of the parts (eg the left one) black & white (by adjusting the colour sliders), and then just add the crossfade transition to where you added the split. The length of the transition controls how fast the fade will be.
Ahh got it now, didn't realise that it was so easy to do! Thanks so much!
Please come to singapore. Our public transport are cheap and comfy
he went bye bye
At 7:31, "This is the first regular stop for the District line after Hammersmith." Did you mean Piccadilly Line? Great video as always though.
+kk4e Ah you are right. I'll correct the mistake as soon as I am back :-)
Friday sounds 0 to
50th, I think it was just
What was that first train
great video, is the Santa Claus at 10:30 ? ^^ thx for uploading
Why arent they stopping is it BECAUSE they are out of service
No because they are not scheduled to stop as the other trains serve these stations
They stop at early mornings and some to uxbridge go to district line platforms
The Picc runs fast IN service...
Wait, actually this local and express service finishes at Ealing Common, isn't it?
Unknown . District terminates at Ealing Broadway.
well at Acton town is the last 4 platform stop then Piccidilly trains to Heathrow diverge meanwhile the infrequent Uxbridge/Rayners Lane trains diverge at Ealing Common
also There are no stops bewteen Acton Town & Ealing Common
Runs to both Hethrow and Uxbrigde. You sure? :)
FITTbog yes, the Heathrow (previously Hounslow until 1977) and The Uxbridge branches are the western terminus of the Piccadilly, though some trains do terminate short at Northfields and Rayners Lane
They aren't 'Local' & 'Express' services. The Met would be the closest comparison to that Yankee term.
'Reinforced Concrete' is quite common in LT/BR Designs... Nice bit of Art Deco.
they act like it bc its the section between Hammersmith & Ealing Common
I thought filming on the LU was illegal. Either way, great video!
It is not illegal by default; if I’m asked to stop by the station supervisor, though, I am complying of course.
nothings illegal about taking a photo or video on the underground or even the mainline trains - as long as you don't use a flashgun or tripod and don't outstay your welcome on the station
Can you vlog so you will get a silver play button but i subscribed you
+Diego Bernardo Probably not, sorry ;-)
do you know Spanish? come to the Dominican Republic it's very clean more than new York. please come to the Dominican Republic please
+R train Productions lol Are you paying for my trip? :-)
+Luftschlange I just wanted you to come to see the beautiful lines and how they Created. It's cool and has the L2 and L1 :)
+R train Productions lol Yeah, I imagine, I'd love to come one day.
