I remember watching this video a long time ago, probably when it was first posted. But I'm only a recent subscriber, having only joined YT last summer.
116 times the subscribers in under a year. That’s very impressive, especially considering how “niche” the content is.
Mate, you’re brilliant! Best proof, that you don’t need annoying music, loud noises, flashing images and bad acting to grow an audience…
Also: your views to subscriber ratio is absolutely astonishingly good!
Meaning you _actually_ make content your audience cares about. Which, to me, is probably the biggest possible success on this platform. (Except making money by setting your integrity on fire)
Honestly, a railway in London taking longer to build than first promised, and then overcrowded at peak hours, unbelivable, see what progress the C21st has made.
ha ha.
World's first commuter railway was Dublin to Kingstown ( now Dun Laoghaire) 1834! Love your work - GR
Perhaps the oldest commuter line in London, but not the oldest in the world. The Dublin and Kingstown Railway opened in 1834, initially intended for freight, but from day one became a commuter line.
Not sure why this happened to your channel but you came into my watchlist at YT after watching a video of Geoff Marshall. Clicked your video, liked it, watched some more, liked them too and subscribed. As many others did too, obviously. Love the way you present your video's, many details about the subject, good sense of humor and not too long. Anyway, congratulations with the 1K mark (and the coming 5K as well). Keep up the good work!
Thanks!
Gilles Geoff Marshall minus the tea......
Found this channel the same way! And in 2 days Jago is already over 8k subscribers! Congrats!!
And right now it is over 8k... En @Gilles: Hoi MK. :) Tijd geleden dat ik je onder deze username heb gezien.
@@railion6513 Dan komen we elkaar weinig tegen op YT, overigens pas sinds een maand of 6 dat ik mijn foto er bij heb staan. En tot een half jaar terug was het Gilles111 op YT. Gebruik deze naam al sinds middelbare school ;-) Help me eens een eindje op weg met wie ik het genoegen heb?
The surge in subscribers is well deserved. This is an excellent channel, both interesting and entertaining in equal measure. 👌
Thanks!
Flipping heck and now its 37K. Must be doing something right.
56K? 19 thousand in two weeks? Wow.
And now 74K last week of November
How is that possible, thought YT had a 100 subs per day limit?
@@UserNameTaken007 I've never ever heard of that. In fact the few channels with 100 million+ subs (pewdiepie) proves that wrong.
81k, as of the 4th of Jan. With the ability to travel into London curtailed, this is the next best thing if you are interested in the railways and other infrastructure. The delivery is absolutely spot-on.
Only recently found this channel (it’s almost MY 2022 as I type this) so having to backtrack a bit to take in earlier editions. This presentation is another wonderful, interesting and educational ramble through our railway history so thanks and congratulations are in order.
Yes please, make more like this!
Blimey, nearly at 5k now, congratulations.
Thank you! It’s kind of crazy.
@@JagoHazzard Not Kind of crazy mor Kind of deserved.
Just went over 5k! Fantastic! :D
For some reason it just turned up last week in my recommendations, and as I've always enjoyed daytripping to London and riding the Tube, it was only natural I started to watch (and subscribe). Very enjoyable. Please keep them coming.
@@mcarp555 yup came up as a recommendation and i too subscribed, if only they would do the same for my humble, and completely unrelated to transport, channel.😉
There must be a reason. Your videos are very interesting.
Thank you!
@@JagoHazzard The downside is that YT start slapping more ads on, in and over the vids. You should be PBS'd and funded by the licence fee for the presentation.
Love these videos and your dry humour.
Discovered your channel last week from my flat on Jamaica Road, and what happens? Your next video is set outside my window! It was meant to be.
Oscar Millar
Hi Oscar, would look up Jamaica Road when I get back to London again.
It would be interesting if I get to meet you on Jamaica Road!
All railway history is interesting whether above or below ground. So keep up the good work is what I say!
Thank you!
As long as the engines and carriages have steel wheels and ride on iron beams, any historical perspective on London commuter transport is very welcome dear Jago. Thanks very much.
Greetings from a ex-pat in Germany. My German/English Grandson introduced me to your channel. It brings back SO many many wonderful memories. A BIG thank you! from Lutherstadt Wittenberg.
As I go through your catalogue of videos from the beginning, it’s amazing to see how you go from 1000 subs to 50,000 in the space of 4 videos!
A very enjoyable video - amazing that the line is still useful 185 years later!
I travelled to school on the Overground for five years, Northfields to Ravenscourt Park on the District line, back in the 60's. That said, my most enjoyable moment almost every day was catching a look at one of the steam locos shedded in the Acton Town depot. An ex-GWR pannier tank, or two, were kept there for engineering works needing to be carried out while the electricity was switched off. Spotting one in steam would be a red-letter day! Thank you for this site, nice job.
I had an overnight cab ride in a pannier from Lillie Bridge to Neasden and back in 1970.

I for one welcome our new insect overlords...
As a native-born Londoner, all this is fascinating. It reminds me of my childhood, when it was still normal for unaccompanied children to travel on public transport, especially the Tube. I am unlikely ever to return to London, so your videos are very welcome. Thank you very much, and keep up the good work. I recall the time of the Moorgate crash; I was then working in Manchester, and concerned colleagues kept coming to me (knowing I was a Southerner from London), asking if I had any relatives involved. Very touching, and indicative that the North-South divide is not as impermeable as some might think.
I think once you hit 1K you start to get promoted by YT as similar vidz. Also you do short videos, less than 10mins, which makes them really quick to view - no need to repeat the wheel on other history/look at vidz but your take and presentation is interesting. Also if you play at 2x they are still comprehensible.
I only found your channel a few days ago, presumably because I watch other railway channels, but I agree with others that your videos are enjoyable, informative, entertaining, and very well produced. .... I am now also a subscriber.
Thanks!
I regularly used to visit the Nightclub under London bridge station, 'Cable' in various stages of intoxication! The underground arches and bricks matched perfectly with the electronic music they played there. The business was turfed out by national rail during the London bridge station upgrade about the same time as they were building the hideous Shard.
Ugh that sounds amaaaazing
It takes a while for a small channel to pop up in recommendations, but when it's a good channel like this one, things really take off. I subscribed yesterday after seeing just one of your videos (never done that before, I always watch a selection of videos before I subscribe). Now a day after releasing your 1,000 sub video, I see you're closing in on 6,000. Congratulations and keep up the excellent work!
This is the exact content I'm interested in but dont search for
Very good video. I only found your channel the other day, but like it immensely. I don't live in London, but have been fascinated by it, and what lies beneath for many years. For several years, the mark of quality content about the odder areas of the capital was held by Londonist/Geoff Marshall. Your videos are equally as good, with the bonus of your sense of humour - the still of Raymond Burr as 'Ironside' in your Kingston video, when referring to a Saxon king, made me laugh out loud - and your occasional wandering off-topic is something I enjoy too. You do good work. I generally judge videos on their content, if, at least once, in them, I think: 'I did not know that.' Your videos pass with flying colours, every time. Thank you.
1k subscribers to almost 70k in 3 months!! Top work fella!
20 videos I have watched now
So happy I discovered your channel
Keep it up my friend 👍🏾🙏🏾❤️
Wow! I just realised how quickly this channel is growing, great work!
Just in case no one's said this before - the brick arches have enormous thermal mass, which means the spaces under the arches can easily retain a steady temperature. Which makes them awesome for brewing beer, since you want steady temperatures to ensure the yeast does its work consistently!
Very interesting channel. Have you seriously gained 4K subscribers in a week? Wow!!! Well done, you appeared on my homepage so RUclips's algorithm likes you, you might be at 10000 by the end of the weekend!! Congrats.
Thank you! It’s absolutely crazy, I’m just some dude making videos on my phone!
So, from 1000 subscribers in July, to almost 50,000 in October. You deserve it, plus thanks RUclips algorithm!
Fascinating subjects, well told, great sense of humour! Hence lots of subs. 👍
Thanks!
Yes Jago. Please do more of the Surface railways of London... like Station History, where tracks no longer are... etc I enjoyed this one and will visit some of these old loactions next time in England. (I'm In Canada, but grew up as a kid on Baker Street Chiltern Court W1 in the 1960-1970s)
That was fascinating and anything predating the dear tube is always interesting! So! Please do thank you.
Hear 1000 subscribers and I check the date on the video, figuring this must be like 6 years old. Oh, 6 months. Congratulations!
Thanks!
Just want to say really enjoy your videos. I almost always learn one or more interesting facts with each one I watch. Keep up the good work.
wow, nearly 100k subs in less than a year, good job mate
I haven't been to London since 1994 and am in no hurry to go again, but I think these vids are great. I like the way it's not all about you (if you know what/who I mean).
Greetings from America. Your videos are well produced, and the occasional splash of droll humor is so British. Thanks.
You’re very welcome!
Don't live in London, don't really care about London, but I still watch. You're doing something right. Hopefully 100k+ next year, eh?
Er yep!😉
Now you’re past 15k!? Good luck to you Jaggo Hazard. Hope you cross your next important landmark very soon. Subscribed.
Many thanks!
And here you are now at 99,000 subscribers (2 march 2021), waiting for it to tick over to a hundred times the milestone of this video.
1 Sept '21 and you have 121,000, you deserve every one of us and I have enjoyed each and every video I have seen.
Watching as you are at 48k subs, looking at 50k I'm sure quite soon. I love this channel! Thanks so much for sharing all of this with us :-)
Thank you. Well researched .. educational and beyond entertaining. You sir... are one of the reasons I still hold on to RUclips.
Respect Jago .. 🙏🏻☺️
Thanks!!!! That was a marvellous video. You took me to places I never thought existed. Thank you very much indeed
As you said. the arches are much like a Roman aqueduct, It's good design, it works, it's durable and pushing 200 years old. Thomas Cockrane was a legend and an amazing man.
Well done JagoHazard, you keep my link to the Uk, london and it’s “musty” underground smells close to my heart even tho I’ve lived in NZ for 10 years..
10.7k and I am one of your new followers :) Delighted to have found your channel !
Thanks!
Watched one of your videos doing research for a video game art project and now I’m hooked. I think I was one of your first 5k subs. Glad to be apart of this awesome community.
Thanks!
@@JagoHazzard Your videos on architecture are awesome. I'd love to see more classic London and outskirt stuff, or hearing more about local stories from around the area. I am currently working on art projects inspired by Tudor and Georgian architecture, so if you can throw some of that in that would be awesome. Love your videos, man.
1000 well deserved subscribers. Really enjoying your work!
Thanks!
At almost 6.5k now, about 1.5k since yesterday, I see this channel is enjoying a similar trajectory to that experienced by The Tim Traveller recently. Keep up the good work.
Thomas Cochrane, now there's a story worth telling. There have been movies that are based on books that are loosely based on him but the real man was more exciting than all of those combined.
Wow, he has blown right through 5,000 subscribers in the past couple of hours. Congratulations Jago!
Thanks!
@@JagoHazzard Lol, gets to 10, 000 subscribers and never releases another video again as works out too much aggro adding the maps, jotting the 'i's and reading 20,000 useless comments a minute.
This is a very good coverage of London commuter railway. Thank you.
when u get 1.35k subs in a day, and 3k in 30 days, taking you from 400 to 4000 subs.
that's pretty lit
Thank you! I’m still pinching myself.
@@JagoHazzard Ha
And here you are now at 47.3 K subscribers.
Richly deserved, too.
Thank you!
I love the journey's and the memories that these places have aqumalated .
I just discovered your channel today Jago at just under 10k subscribers. I lived and worked around Tooley Street, Bermondsey, Deptford and Rotherhithe so found this particularly interesting. Very interesting content with dry sense if humour so looking good for the future. Keep up the good work.
Many thanks!
Now 100K! Congrats!!!
Congratulations, 10k+ subscribers. I like the style and content. I also joined after a mention by Geoff Marshall. Keep up the good work.
Many thanks!
Keep going Jago! You’re nearly at 150,000 subscribers now!
Fascinating. Well done.
+ 52k subs in less than 3 months, way to go!
1k in July, 53.7k by middle of October! Well done. Very good presentions.
Thank you for these excellent recordings. As a Londoner I find all of your content engaging and, an absolute joy to watch. Thank you for the effort in producing these videos.
Thanks! Glad you’re enjoying them!
This is a great channel. Your voice and wit are remarkable. The stories always delightful. BTW, Cochrane spent some time down here under the sun. When Brazil got fed up with Portuguese absolutism and split, Peter I, our first ruler, hired him to run some part of his fleet. Family lore says an ancestor of mine was tasked to keep Cochrane under a reasonable degree of control. I always enjoy stories that mention that extraordinary character.
Congrats on your channel mate. And thanks for the documentary!!
You are most welcome!
Congratulations on your influx of new subscribers (of which I am one) - it's well deserved.
and now it's 77.8k! dude, your channel is great. keep up the informative and well thought out content please :)
Thanks!
I love your outlook! I feel the same way when I'm driving somewhere. I can't tell you how many interesting places I've found just because I didn't feel like planning a route and got lost.
Don't think of it as getting lost though - it's really just an adventure. I even went and explored a tractor museum once on my way to visit family. I didn't know tractors were interesting until I ended up there. Sad no one told me about the amazing tractor museum in the middle of absolute nowhere.
Glad I stumbled across your channel. Your passion alone helps stimulate curiosity for something I never gave much thought.
I used to be keen on agricultural machinery, but not any more. Think of me as an ex-tractor fan.
Geoff Marshall brought me here. I liked the video, so I subscribed. As someone from the US, I love learning about transportation infrastructure outside of the US, especially trains, so you keep me well entertained.
Did you seriously just go from 5K subscribers to 10K in 5 days?! That's remarkable. 😳
When you mention videos you've done before, is there a reason you don't link them with "cards"? That way they show up as links in the top-right corner. I try to do this whenever I mention an earlier video and it seems to get people to stick around the channel longer.
Anyway, great content as always! Keep it up!
How on earth have you gonna from 1000 to almost 35,000 in 2 months. That’s absolutely incredible congratulations good sir.
Thank you! I can’t quite believe it myself.
Why am I sitting here at 2.30am in lockdown watching videos of the commute I used to do before working from home? I've wasted enough of my life standing on the platform at Greenwich or London Bridge over the years that you'd think I wouldn't need to watch a video of it.
I was a student in London for awhile and lived right near Goldhawk Road station where the track was also on a viaduct-looking structure. I always loved the way it looked, the trains rattling by were honestly more of a comfort than an annoyance to me. I’ve only just found your channel and it’s amazing to see such a meteoric growth from 1 to 61 thousand subscribers in just a few months. Thank you for this!
You’re very welcome!
Congrats on reaching the 1000 subscribers...
Some of the railway arches adjacent to the Peak Feans factory at Bermondsey. In December 1986 the company had tons of Christmas puddings in there.
Great work. Only just discovered your channel but you are doing an amazing job.
Congrats on the now almost 75k subscribers!
i absolutely love your channel and style. Keep it up!!
Thanks!
I went to school in Croydon and was therefore taught that the Surrey Iron Railway was really the first.
Yeah, as I say in the video, it’s kind of debatable - I am planning a video on the Surrey Iron Railway to look at the issue.
Hardly London in the 1830's, though, whereas London Bridge...
@@spiccybaby Was in Kent.
Love your videos. This is such an underrated channel. Keep it up.
Thanks!
Not even a year later, and you almost at 100x the amount of subscribers. And well deserved so.
Thanks!
Ahh. The Bermondsey beer mile 😁
your videos are great to listen to when assembling Warhammer 40k minis
in July you had 1000 subscribers ,today it's October 21 and you have 55700! amazing ? not really because all your videos are so interesting ,I've been binge watching them over the last few days and I thoroughly enjoy them ,I'm in Australia but was born in London so I feel a bit nostalgic watching ,anyway thanks for the videos,keep them coming ! Cheer's
Many thanks! Plenty more on the way!
Greenwich had 2 stations back in the day. The 2nd was a separate line from Victoria and the line is still used from Lewisham where it takes a sharp turn to go up it and is probably a reason why the junction there is so complicated (and leads to problems when it fails). The abandoned station there is now a junk shop, though the platforms are still visible. You can still see the old, very tall, embankment as the train does this and there are still remnants of the line at ground level - the old tunnel entrance on Blackheath Hill, and the 'Weak Bridge' signs on random back roads due to the old train line beneath. The former station is now a Cafe Rouge. Seeing how close that was to the main line I don't know why they didn't just extend it a bit to give a branch to Victoria.
Well done m8, I only found you're channel by chance while looking up Jango Fett (Boba Fett's daddy) last night and misspelt it Jago Fett and one of you're videos popped up and I've been binge watching ever since.
As a fellow Londoner I love these types of videos so keep up the good work.
To go from 1000k subs to nearly 100k in 7 mths shows you're doing something right and well liked.
Btw Crystal Palace has always interested me.... So much history there. Maybe a future video
Hi Jago, your videos are interesting and very watchable with informative, sometimes amusing, commentary. Well done.
Anything on the history of railways in London would be good. I'm especially interested in the start of the railway system leading into St Pancras and Kings Cross. I lived in Kentish Town in the 50's/60's, right behind what was then the extensive yards, coal unloading arches and repair sheds, all gone now.
Thank you!
I remember the Summerstown ( ? Somerstown?) Goods Yard when closed but used as an NCP Car / lorry/ coachpark. Some of The Professionals and The Sweeney were filmed in there.
Have you come across the book "The King's Cross Story" by Peter Darley The History Press 2018? Full of detail on this area. You could supplement it with the historic large-scale OS maps produced by Alan Godfrey. Wish I got paid for these promotions!
143 k subscribers!! wow!! Well deserved though, you do a great job with your videos.
Great stuff!! Love it. Keep up the good work
Don't be surprised, what do you expect when you produce great videos.
I also came upon your channel by accident, liked it, watched some more videos and subscribed. I see that you are now at 7,700 subscribers. Well done! You deserve success for your informative, watchable and very professional material.
I used to go to a punk club under the arches in Southwark.
It's a shame that Spa Rd and Southwark Park were completely removed. They would have been useful for the modern developments around there. London Bridge to Deptford is a long stretch.
The faster electric trams created their demise, they were not put back when the trams went and by then commuters from Dartford and beyond wanted their fast trip into London
The stations may have been removed but Spa Road and Southwark Park are both still there.
Don't be surprised by the subs mate. Your video's are excellent.
Thank you!
I had to double check if your title was correct, I saw the date was less than a month ago and though you missed a zero off the 1000+ :-D
15.4K congratulations and very much deserved!
Thanks!
Back in the late 1960's when I lived in a suburb about 25 miles west of Washington DC, my father taught me to drive using a clutch. We drove a few miles away from the house to a dirt road where I spent about an hour trying to master the thing. During that hour, 2 cars passed us. Now, 50 years later, that road is a 6 lane highway with 30 to 40 thousand cars passing every day.
There is a reason I'm watching this now two months almost since upload and you are almost at 20k. Brilliant videos quickly becoming my go too RUclips channel when bored. Your progression is inspiration
Many thanks!
Jago is like London but In RUclips: it started small then it just blew up, and it’s filled with all sorts of transport thingys that somehow work
