OMG, They are Back,, YASSSSSSSSS.... I can't wait to see what we are all going to see this season. we want Dirt, we want Tiles, We want Tunnels, We want Mr Grundy, We want Mr Nix, we want Siddy, we want Laura, we want the Whole Gang, Sorry got myself all excited !!!! 🙂
Welcome back team ! The odd design of the Leslie Green station building was because above it on the roof was the train sidings and repair sheds for the mainline station. The tiles at the lift shafts were replaced in the mid 20s with Holden tiles when the Northern line arrived (sorry Siddles, the Northern arrived in September 1926, not 1915, which was the Embankment loop across the river). It's probable that one lift was taken out of service at this time (so escaping the Holden tiles), but the remaining were taken out in 1973. However, the wooden lift paneling remained there until the demolition for the Eurostar terminus around 1989 onwards and you could pass these in order to get from the station to York road. You can also see the station in action from the 1928 film "Underground" by Anthony Asquith, it shows the escalators, platforms and lifts of the station. If you can get over how corny the acting is, it's an enjoyable watch regarding the station. Look forward to the coming episodes.
Thanks Anthony. Good to be back. Yes Siddy did make a date slip - none of us clocked it at the time but I did in the edit so I did add a date correction aston precisely as she says it.
Great to see you back! It’s been a long wait, but well worth it. Waterloo is amazing and you made me laugh loads. The chemistry between you 4 is brilliant. Congratulations to Siddy too!😂❤
Pure excitement - sand bucket discovery ! Superb start to series 9 - and the first time I have watched internationally, first half in Sweden, second half in Manchester ! You really need to get to the Stockholm underground and all that art !
congratulations Siddy Holloway. so Beautiful and the Queen of what you do Best. I Love this show and Secrets of The London underground. you , Tim and Chris are absolute Legends. but Siddy you remain the Queen. Congratulations on your pregnancy once again.
So glad you guys are back. Really like the new format with all four of you at the table. So cool seeing the old Leslie Green tiles hidden away at the station. Looking forward to seeing where else you've explored this season.
I used to work at the GEC factory that made a lot of the old relays for the underground. Back in the late 90s I was giving a tour to some LUL people and showed them our museum. They pointed out that LUL still had some of those museum items protecting the network!
Looking forward to this and Secrets of the Underground with Siddy, Chris and Timmy off the Telly! ❤ I’m watching footy right now (sorry) so just popped in and will watch the whole thing later.
Fantastic to see you back - thank you!! I arrived from Western Australia at the end of April on the 5.30am time slot, made my way to the Piccadilly Line tube, and I still cannot believe the first thing that went through my head was "Man, that moquette could do with a good dry clean" 🤣 You four were in my head far too much on my journeys on the tube this trip! Thanks for great content 🥰
Thanks for yet another fantastic episode. Really liked the "no smoking anywhere on the underground" sign running above the emergency exit lift doors than on a normal day no one is ever going to see!!
OMG, As promised we had it all, we had, Dirt, Tiles, Tunnels, Cupboards, Grundy, Nixy, Siddy, Laura, Plus OMG an Extra Bonus a Little Baby Siddy :-) OMG Congratulations to Siddy. Fantastic Start to Series 9. I don't even live near London, i'm all the way down in Devon, But over the last 9 series I've Become a right Tube NERD !!. I love the History of the Tube i find it all fascinating !
Well done team!! Another fantastic episode! I am so glad to see you back on the screen!! Well done Chris for doing all the editing as well! Yes I watched to the end credit!!!😁
your game of “what’s that smell” trying hard to be polite and inoffensive yet get the point across that it’s not pleasant is your best bit of unintentional funny moments and kudos for creating your own podcasting studio, the foam added to the look of the bunker
Marvellous, fascinating. In latter half of 1960s as child had many visits with mother to Moorfields Eye Hospital via Tottenham Court Road tube station and could see the edge of the floodgate at end of the platform.
Congratulations siddy. I watched siddy on hidden secrets of sloane square. The punp room in the for conduit to for the westboune to flow over the track whst a great piece of engineering by the Victorians. Wow season nine that has a gone so qiuckly and each of them have been fascinating.
Hi team, a big welcome back ! So love the new studio i can now see you all in HD. What a fantastic first episode you gave us, so much history in left in this station. Thank you all very much for a brilliant tour ❤❤🤗
Love it, love it, love it. Love the bunker !!! Congrats Siddy of course Im really sorry but you guys do look like Cybermen from Dr Who. However. Love it again.
So glad you guys are back. I love Waterloo. Was in London in August last year and we used the underground every day, so was great to see some of Waterloo's hidden features. It was also nice to see the floodgates that were made down the road from me in Kilmarnock.
The company I worked for built and installed a lot of the grey digital clocks on the platforms. As part of that I also built quite a few master clocks that were installed in the stations, they used a GPS signal for several satellites. Very interesting look round behind the curtain thanks guys. 👍👍
Been around since series 1 and blimey you are back with a bang for series 9!!! I absolutely love the new studio setup that really brings the bits between the VT to the next level. Nevermind the cracking station visit to Waterloo, so much awesome behind the scenes stuff! Well done team Hangouts :)
Ah, welcome back! I know this isn’t what it’s all about, but I do think that Laura has the shiniest hair I’ve ever seen! Also loving the new bunker. Tracking shots! Production values have really ramped up!
Great video as always - however the PW tool at 46mins isn't a rail lifting tongue, it's a clip puller for installing Pandrol or other brand elastic rail clips. 🙂
10:52 the Hold the Handrail posters were one of my delightful discoveries last time I visited London, such a cool retro style poster. Actually missed this episode when it came up and am watching this now before Episode 2.
My initial impression @ only 5 mins in: The acoustic foam does wonders. Still a bit of 'tunnel slapback' for your studio, some acoustic foam above and on the flat wall would go a long way, or even a hanging carpet on the flat wall. Cozy and 'coustic.
@@chrisnix6352 Excellent. It's refreshing to see productions using what exists, and adapting it to need, rather than paying for some gaudy set that bears no relevance to the topic.
Yay can’t wait 😍… I wondered what happened it felt like such a short last series. I only checked back yesterday in case I had missed something and now I’ve had a popup for start of s9 😍
I'm beyond green with envy at you guys and girls, what a privilege to go to all these places, I find it very exciting indeed, hidden underground London. Do you think you could do a video of the old platforms at Holborn for the Adwych branch. There were two platforms, one platform and tracks with the Piccadilly towards Russel square, the other platform was a spur further toward Aldwych.
Those floodgates are amazing. I remember watching the North End episode deep down in that non-station looking at the control panels and a brief view of a floodgate (and original pictures?), but the fact that all of Waterloo's are still there is special. I wouldn't fancy the job of cleaning them though :D
I know it's called "hidden london", but we didn't expect you to go into hiding 😅
😂😂😂 be careful what you wish for! You may never get rid of us!
@@alexgrundon2346 Do you promise!
If it's not sunny and mild outside. You might as well be exploring. 😉
Siddy many Congratulations.
How is it possible that we're already at Season 9? Congrats to the Fab 4 for sticking together with how crazy everyone's life's have become!
OMG, They are Back,, YASSSSSSSSS.... I can't wait to see what we are all going to see this season. we want Dirt, we want Tiles, We want Tunnels, We want Mr Grundy, We want Mr Nix, we want Siddy, we want Laura, we want the Whole Gang, Sorry got myself all excited !!!! 🙂

Thanks heavens you're back. I was getting fed up and bored.
It's been 83 years....... Welcome back gang!!
So great to have you guys back! All that was missing from this video was The Kinks "Waterloo Sunset" playing in the background. Congrats to Siddy!
The gang are back......and not a moment too soon!
Sixth Doctor reference there?
Currently visiting London for the first time, and it is pretty cool that I know things about the tube from these videos that I wouldn’t otherwise!
Happy to have the 4 of you back! And congrats to Siddy!
Great you are all back again plus secrets of London underground on tv in July, summer has certainly brightened up !
It's so great to have you back! I was beginning to get anxiety issues because I was worried you'd decided not to continue ...
Great to see you back! It’s been a long wait, but well worth it. Waterloo is amazing and you made me laugh loads. The chemistry between you 4 is brilliant. Congratulations to Siddy too!😂❤
OMG Siddy 2 Underground Boogaloo, the ultimate sequel will grace this Earth! Congratulations!
Pure excitement - sand bucket discovery ! Superb start to series 9 - and the first time I have watched internationally, first half in Sweden, second half in Manchester ! You really need to get to the Stockholm underground and all that art !

The best content on You Tube by a mile. The new bunker is awesome. Well done.
An excellent episode - Floodgates, Moquette, Tiles, A cast-iron curve and a pending arrival...AND a new HQ...it has it all!!
So glad you guys are back. Really like the new format with all four of you at the table. So cool seeing the old Leslie Green tiles hidden away at the station. Looking forward to seeing where else you've explored this season.

Love the hangouts, great team! Alex is a super host of the shows. TBH man crush on Nixy
❤ bless you! And there’s a four-letter acronym to describe Nixy, apparently. You’re not the only one to appreciate him 😉
Thought you’d all got yourselves lost down some dark hidden chasm!
The studio!!!! Epic. The perfect transition for Season 9.
Yeahh!!!
Lovely to see you all together and a Marianne Straub moquette table cloth!
Yesssssss the fab4 are back missed you guys and cant wait to see whats in store for series 9 😊

Wonderful - a new series of the Hangouts 😊
Yayyyy. Been waiting for this. Glad you’re on your way back.

It’s back season 9 and what a station to start with, I know Alex is a fan of Eurovision will he be doing any ABBA 😂
I’m more Super Blooper than Super Trooper….
OK, own up. Who thought Dancing Queen? 😂
Marvellous, fascinating. In latter half of 1960s as child had many visits with mother to Moorfields Eye Hospital via Tottenham Court Road tube station and could see the edge of the floodgate at end of the platform.
Well worth the wait. Congratulations Siddy!

Watching this from Australia, love the videos
Great episode, guys 😊
Incredible stuff!
Welcome to season 9! Always love your videos guys. One of the best ever!
Great episode. The double escape stair case is a helix.
Great episode, loved the remaining glimpses of Leslie Green tiles, and presented from a secret bunker 😊❤
Ah, welcome back! I know this isn’t what it’s all about, but I do think that Laura has the shiniest hair I’ve ever seen! Also loving the new bunker. Tracking shots! Production values have really ramped up!

great to have you all back and loving the new 'studio'. Keep up the good work.
Love the new studio. One thing, it could do with a model tube train on a shelf as well!
Excellent work, liked of course, so good to delve into the nooks and crannies! You have another happy subscriber!!
My initial impression @ only 5 mins in: The acoustic foam does wonders. Still a bit of 'tunnel slapback' for your studio, some acoustic foam above and on the flat wall would go a long way, or even a hanging carpet on the flat wall. Cozy and 'coustic.
Ah we have further plans! The studio is a work in progress and you’ll see little developments in episodes to come.

Welcome back guys
I do hope you have a lift down to your new crib for poor Siddy.
Love the show guys can't for next one ❤
Welcome all 5 of you!
Google has you listed as: Secrets Of The London Underground Returns For Series 4 and not 9, none the less team, great to have you back 😊.
Oh wow brilliant brilliant episode
