Hornchurch - Every Tube Station Rated 208/272

let's once again peer back through time at the amazing moment when Victorian transport designers found their inspiration for naming Hornchurch 🥲
even more incredibly, one of them is wearing a limited edition waistcoat, kindly #gifted by Gatwick Express to celebrate their 40th anniversary!
which bears absolutely 0 relation with the content of today's video (sorry)
in summary - Hornchurch is very similar to some other stations we've seen before...

I like the commitment of colouring yourself green for covering the district line 😜

[@kenzo_ccm]

Fun fact: Hornchurch is the first station in the lyrics of Jay Foreman's "Every Tube Station Song" 😮

[@WightKnight]

I am loving the intros!

[@CourtMcCheese]

These intros are getting better and better 😂

[@mark9999312]

At least the barbed wire adds character to the metal fences.

[@squeakers27]

Finally, my local station, yeah i assume none of the stations at the edges of tube are very nice as the further out you, the less passengers you get, the less incentive to make it look nice.

hey neighbour!

[@paulmathers6059]

I look forward to these more than anything else. Loving it so much

There is a church. The Church has horns. True story.

[@tommyrotton9468]

Its called St Andrews

[@WagDemTails]

can you please do maida vale next?

[@joanna61]

Hornchurch might just be silliest station name on the District line and maybe even on the whole London Underground, just a church with a horn like what?

[@vaguely.mundane]

Everyone was very relieved when church bells were invented to replace church horns

[@elle47]

it's the name of the whole town and the road between hornchurch and upminster is creatively named hornminster 😒

[@i69420]

What about Tooting Bec or Arsenal? (Yes, I’m sorry)

[@joanna61]

@@i69420 Tooting Bec is also a silly station name and Arsenal is just silly, gillespie road would be better.

[@tommyrotton9468]

the church has a statue of a bulls head with horns (Hornchurch) as they were herded past here to Romford cattle market

[@archie447]

Did you do Marble Arch yet?
If you did what episode was it?

[@KhanivoreQniba]

The tube stations are grimy as hell. It’s a disgrace.

[@edwardwilliamson1]

The thumbnail makes you look green

[@quintuscrinis8032]

Makes sense, being at a sickeningly bad station on the green line.

[@walker1054]

I don't get why TfL doesn't have just like 2 people going around repainting walls in stations each night, even if it's just the lower down ones like concourses and stairs so just a small ladders needed. Just 2 people, 1 car with a small ladder, then just leave them to it to go through all stations every few years.

[@OffTheRailsUK]

Money.

[@KhanivoreQniba]

Where does all of the TfL profit go exactly? Into trade unionists pockets? They sure as hell don’t spend anything on improving the tube stations, they are grimy as hell!

[@walker1054]

I think you might have the concept of unions confused. TfL doesn't pay unions. Employees pay unions. It's an external service employees pay for. Any worker in the UK can sign up for a union, some are specialised like RMT for rail workers, then theres some that do retail, or theatre, or medical ones, or media, journalists, etc. Your employer doesn't even need to know. The unions mainly help out with legal issues and help workers organise together when asking for changes.

@@walker1054 Cool. But where do TfL spend their profits?
