Hello to everyone from Toronto Canada!!! I love you show! I’ve been to London & rode all over the Tube in 1974. Our hotel, the Central City Hotel was near Old Station. I can’t find the hotel anymore but at least the station is there. We were back in 2018 but didn’t have time to visit the the museum. I’m like all of you & would love to go on the tours. Keep up the great work!!!! 💖💖💖💖🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Thank you for reading my comment, what a lovely surprise! I’m actually in London the same time as your Kingsway Tram tunnel tours. I’ll definitely be booking that! 😃
That is one of the nicest tile colour-ways I’ve seen on the LER tubes…
Thanks gang, another wonderful episode. I wasn't expecting too much but it escalated quickly...
I love the thought of buying some original tiles in the museum shop, and visiting the new corridor when it's open. Great stuff.
Finally going back into London on Thursday, Gonna pop into the LTM while there. Looking forward to it
Excellent tour, if only I knew about this when lived in Knightsbridge c.1983-85, I lived near the old Brompton Road station. Will look forward to seeing part as soon as possible.
Hi team, love Knightsbridge station, can not wait to see this reopened again, i hope they keep some of the original tiles like WAY OUT signs, so looking forward to part 2 💖
Hi all,
First: brilliant episode as usual. Can't wait for Part 2. Now on to the tiles. I agree, I am astounded that there is or are a lot of original tiles that by now in other stations would have been removed or be too grotty to get anything.
and
Second: for me as an observer the ultimate LU line has to be the Jubilee line. It has the following:
Stanmore-Finchley Road = Classic Metroland stylings
Swiss Cottage-Green Park = Classic "Tube" station stuffs
Westminster-North Greenwich = 21st Century "Tube" futurism
Canning Town-Stratford = Modern urban rail coolness
So for me, a little something for everyone out there.
Regards,
Aaron, Lancashire.
Maximum tileage !!
Looking forward to part two 😊
Thank you to all four of you. for a brilliant episode well presented. can,t wait for part two next week.
Love the videos !🇨🇦
All the original tiles will be for sale in the shop. (Laura will check for rejects) Looking forward to the newly tiled wall behind Laura 😂
Such a shame they used that ghastly metal cladding for the platforms covering up the 1930's tiles though.
A great episode, it Is great to see the disused area being repurposed.
There were replica tiles of all sorts by Fired Earth for the 150 year anniversary of the tube. For your bathroom
Best episode yet? Fascinating. Can't wait for the next one... Have you done the new Bank tunnels yet?
Thanks for both the Knightsbridge episodes. I used to work in Knightsbridge so used the station frequently. Always wondered why it felt like a miles walk from the Harrods Knightsbridge station entrance to the platforms. I guess that’s because the Harrods entrance wasn’t the original. I have now bought a piece of bronze and I suspect I’m going to want tiles. Not sure I can afford to watch future episodes 😊.
None of you wanted to ride the Met line into the depths of the Home Counties? So disappointed…
Another great episode … sorry I’ve not been around the last couple of weeks … but back now! Great couple of episodes, too, over the last weeks - and that was a ‘frame’ in the comms room you stumbled across a couple of weeks ago … yes, not only a train geek but a telephone geek as well (I used to work for BT) …
Good evening Fab 4 and all who are tuned in.
Hi Dave 👍
Looking forward to part 2 tomorrow! Question regarding the escalators, when all of the old wooden escalators were replaced, were they able to use any of the original mechanical elements, or did they just have to start from scratch? I'm guessing the ladder as most of that equipment dated back to the 20s and 30s.
I’m so annoyed I missed the premiere to chat with everyone. But hi everyone! 👋🏻
Hi 👋
Can't believe they are taking the old tiles away. How can that possibly be cheaper to rip out all of the old tiles?!
I would be interested in finding out your tastes in music Alex and Laura
Was she in the Riddlers? Looks very familiar
Lisbon Trams and Portuguese tarts,…. Very jealous Alex.
24’00”: is Carol Decker a guest presenter next week?
Yes. She’s carrying China. I’m her hand.
It has some original tiles in the passages by W.B. Simpson and Son that dated from the 1930’s.
Even earlier than that! 1906.
@@alexgrundon2346 Interesting topic. Looking forward to part two 👍.
Do any of londons lost rivers pass by or cut through any stations or tunnels?
The Westbourne flows in an aqueduct through Sloane Square station.
The Fleet used to cross the passageway from St Pancras to the Underground, before the redevelopment of St Pancras. The passageway used to go down a slope, under the Fleet (which was in a pipe) and up again.
@@alisonjperry6291 there's loads of sewage and water mains pipes under the road around here. When the One Hyde Park entrance was opened it had to have a kink in it to avoid some of that trunking.
What is that metal tower in the background?
When? Time stamp please.
@@AtheistOrphan In the video at 6:10 into the episode...
@@Blade_Daddy - Thanks. Difficult to tell, but I’d guess a partially-constructed frame for building. I don’t know of any ‘tower’ ever being on the site.
@@AtheistOrphan and thank you!
Re-tiling takes the story away it will loose it’s heritage when they take them down 😞
There is nothing "tarty" about Art Nouveau just silly to say so.
It was very tongue in cheek!
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve described something as tarty in the past couple months since Siddy sweetly praised this particular look at me style this way. It doesn’t sound as fab in my American accent, but I’m giving it a go nonetheless.
