I hope you enjoy this new video and thank you for watching
No apologies required (at least for me, anyway!). I thoroughly enjoy your videos, and very much appreciate the time and effort you put into each and every one…not to mention the running commentary. Wishing you all the very best!
Hi Dale, "waffle on" all you want! Another great video. So enjoy them, so relaxing! Nice one! 😊 👍
Thank you. All my life I have been told to shut up 🤣🤣
Here here Alan
@@dalecharmantravels8057certainly not telling you to shut up mate cause your doing all these fantastic vids for all your vids & editoring them as well & stop apologising there’s no need mate & im sorry again if I offended you with my “Dorothy” comment lol keep these vids coming as I’m a avid viewer lol
Recently discovered your channel. As a small child I lived in Manor House so Piccadilly line was very much of my childhood. Your videos are very nice and you have a lovely personality for presenting them!
Good one Dale.. thank you. Nice to be out in the drizzly daylight with you. All the best.
It's all good , it's drizzly , it's Saturday and it's Dale , leafing season is upon us , the high pressure water trains will be out , the rail gritters will be spraying goop , and some trains will be sailing majestically through signals and platforms , ah , the joys of autumn . Where there's heavy leaf litter the rail heads can be black from the oils from crushed leaves . Your driving philosophy puts you in front I'd say . Great video 👍
Thanks, Dale. Always a pleasure to see you roaming around the Pic Underground network. Even though it's still heavy rail, it just seems to be a world apart from Mainline working
I didn't think I will like these videos so much, but I actually enjoy seeing the journeys, thank you. Very different 😊
I did 14 hour days (12 work/2 hour break time) 5 days a week. Being a bus driver on a rotating roster. You really have to spend your free time wisely!
Always a fantastic day when you upload, Dale! Just so relaxing and calm person to listen to and ride the rails. Thanks Dale
Also the video quality looks much better, you made great changes.
A absolutely brilliant video as usual. You don't need to apologise you are only human after all
Another excellent video! Although as an LU engineer, I was aware of the existence of Leaf Fall Timetables, it was nonetheless interesting to see how LU mitigates the operational risks associated with those pesky leaves! I used to think that I have a hard task dealing with the very many leaves that fall on my garden and drive at this time of the year but, having now gained an improved appreciation of the challenge that leaves present to the railway, I should probably stop moaning (not that anyone listens)!
Thank you, Dale, for this informative insight!
Hey brilliance from Canada. Great video. My family has a well renowned business on that line. I can't say who it is. So I love this video. And I have to say it's a mess what London has become. Starmer is an absolute mess.
Don’t worry too much mate, we love the journeys
Fantastic video Dale! BTW I saw you tonight at Leicester Square, thank you for being so kind and welcoming!
No need to apologise dale at all it's the way the cookie crumbles
No need to apologise Dale my other half used to work for TFL on the buses I know editing is a pain but grateful for the time and effort put into your videos take care ❤❤
Insightful. Always find uk railway signalling etc interesting
Great video as always, Saturday is Dale day
Don't worry Dale you only have one pair of hands, you also need time for yourself and you are already doing a great job.
Fantastic content Dale.
Great as ever.
Hello from South Dublin
Sound Report: Stereo is working fine 😁
Grear Video again, Dale😊
As always I enjoy you talking so never stop and a great video as well thank you Dale
Another FAB vid Dale, very informative and interesting. Looking forward to the back catalogue and new stuff
man i'm legit excited for when you start driving the new trains sometime in the nearby future, I'm sure those new units will feel like spaceships inside compared to the old 70s stock haha.
also which model of rode mic are you using? there is a way in the mic itself to make it stereo, newer rode mics have a "merged" (mono) and "split" (stereo) mode which can be gone between using buttons on receiver (not the one on the top)
Wonderful video sir
Another great video, thanks again Dale.
Hello Dale. Nice to ride along with you. Can you see the 30 mph speed restriction in the dark what's on the tracks? Thanks for your new video 👍😃
great video dale.i just want to ask what happens if you break a speed limit.many thanks
Hi Dale, I love your videos. Having travelled on the Piccadilly line more times than I can remember, it's great to get a cab eye's view!
One of the questions I've always wanted to ask is how do you get back at the end of a shift, especially if it's late and the station you've ended up at is a long way from home?
Throughly enjoyed today's video, you have been unusually chatty, and I like that, thank you Dale.😂
Love the videos from Chicago Illinois ❤
Concentrating on driving and doing a running commentary, an example of multi-tasking. At my age, I’m lucky if I can even task. 🤷♂️
Loved riding the rails with you as always. lt does't matter where you position the camera from my point of view (ha-ha) though l know you want to make the view better for us, and it is more exciting when we can see the station mirror and cameras properly. Keep up the waffling! 😃😃
Dale its a pleasure to watch your video's,, Never mind the leaves Banana skins make the best slipper's
Hi Dale brilliant video again. I've been watching all of your videos and I quite enjoyed them!
Thank you glad you enjoy them.
Hey Dale, just letting you know that you can disable the flashing light and the screen through the gopro (if that is what you are using) settings itself.
Great video dale
When i was fireman on the steamtrains in South Africa, the bluegum trees oil used to make the rails slippery when it rained
When did SA stop using steam locos? I haven't been there since 2010.
Hello mate, have you considered being an instructor? All jokes aside, you've only got to watch your videos to know you'd be good at it. 👍
I was going to apply for instructor earlier in the year. The application is just a pain in the neck. Plus now I don’t really have the time. As an instructor you have to do work in your own time like write up reports ect on trainee drivers. Plus it would reduce my ability to film for you lot 🤣🤣
The adhesion train is probably using Sandite. It’s like a jelly with sand in it. We used to have an old DMU set up to spread it in the leaf fall season
Great content. I enjoy when you waffle on a bit because sometimes there's not much to look at. What train sims are your favorite, if any?
Awesome video as always Dale. Have you ever done Aldgate to Amersham on the Metropolitan Line?? Love watching your awesome channel from Scotland in the United Kingdom. Hope your ok?? 🙂🙂🙂
Dale, actually you have been recording it in stereo, as it’s panned over to one side. I assume only input “1” has had audio routed to it and not “1&2”.
As for correcting the audio you already have. It’s really easy to do in most software to “split” that stereo file into 2 mono files (which would be your left and right) and pan the one with your audio on it in the centre. Hope this makes sense!
Really enjoy all your videos. Many thanks for taking the considerable time and effort to produce them. Apologies if you have already covered this but what is going to happen to all the existing trains when the new ones come into service? Indeed where are they going to put all the old stock? It seems to have lasted extremely well considering its age so it seems a crying shame just to cut them all up......many thanks
I believe they are going to be scrapped. I would imagine 2 three car units will be kept as the rail adhesion trains. Not sure if they will keep one for the museum or not
My understanding is the 1973 Stock doesn’t have anti-lock brakes, whereas the 2024 Stock will, which is why there are separate leaf-fall timetables. I think the Met no longer has them for this reason, they used to for the A Stock.
Another good video. Wasn't as keen on the camera position this week. Preferred the new position it was in on the last couple of videos .
I like this sound without the new microphone you bought, it's much louder how it is in this video. I don't understand why you felt that you needed to buy it. Like the famous saying goes. "If it's not Broken, then why Fix it" ?? - This sound is great in this video. Seriously, you don't need to change this, and I cannot see why anyone would wish to criticize it. Your new microphone was just a downgrade in sound quality - not an upgrade
Love having your videos on when I'm working here on the computer, usually video editing. You won't need any special software, all video editing programs will allow you to take a mono, or single channel track, and make it stereo, it's just a setting. Best to do it first thing before you start to edit, that way the setting will be on all your clips.
What software do you use to edit?
Mics - mics record mono UNLESS they're special (binarual/stereo field etc.)
What you do with that - how it's merged with video (which usually has at least 2 separate tracks for left/right field) depends on how you're bringing the audio and video together - usually you'll just repeat the 'mono' track for both 'sides' but you often have to ensure this happens manually
This is why I always used headphones when working - you hear better than with speakers - they also block-out the Missus which is a bonus I cannot truly express the value of
Dale. Hello again. Nice video. I though 2:00 t the sound was fine. I was wondering when your parents first took you into London do you remember your first Tube ride? Any found memories of it? How old were you? Thanks and take care.
When you are up to it, I would like to know what training on the new trains would look like? Would you start in a train simulator, then driving the new train on a test track and then the Piccadilly Line?
Leaf fall is a little late this year.
You also mentioned the rain earlier, how do these trains do in the really wet weather as water and electricity don't play well together.?
Love your lovely videos,
Have you ever asked to rescue a failed unit (between stations and at stations), while in public use, if you do how do you this?, or there is special train to deal with it.
I can understand about leaf fall, I'd call it railways version of black ice. Until recently, September 2024, there was a big tree up the road from me, in my street, which should've been cut down years ago. The new owners of that house have got it cut down, which is just as well, as the previous tenant (she rented it from a firm, who sold it after she went into a care home), had a friend, who had to apply bleach to her path for her, as the leaves caused it to be slippery. In addition, the pavement, and the road, got slippery when wet with the leaves as well. Next time you're heading eastbound from T5, any chance you can slow the camera down, at the points when the loop from T4 joins, and the junction leading eastbound trains into the westbound?
Hi @dalecharmantravels8057 if its OK to ask, could you give me a brief summary of what the Train Driver test comprises of? I have lost my three lives trying to gain entry into Southern Railways in East Croydon. I would just like to know, because I live outside of the distance now required to be readily avaliable in the City. Would three failures on the Surface rail test exclude you? Also, do you have that test with Lights, Pedals and have to react. thats the one that really threw me, although I got really good at the reaction game "Beep Bop" (on which I practised). 😀 How do you manged I presume you commmute from Peterborough, or stay in the City?
maybe you could do a frequently asked questions to allay all the queries you have already answered?
Hey hope you are well just curious why and how some drivers sit in the rear cab since it’s alarmed woudnt you need to stop every time someone passes back? 😂🙏
Oh good. Now i know what those two T boards in the 4-foot are about. Its been bugging me.
If you use a GroPro, it has an option to switch the red light to the back or turn it off alltogether.
Speak your shit dude, we love everything you have to say, just live it up and enjoy making content
At Acton Town (and other stations too), do you know why there is lighting below the platform?
Plus my final question (lol), have you ever by mistake on wrong line, for example went on district line by error of the signaller or points failure?
Hey mate, don't know if you've been asked before, but do you have a favourite station to pull into?
I don’t have a favourite as such. From a drivers view it’s all the same. I do have a soft spot for T5. I used to travel down there to do some plane spotting many years ago. I like the architecture of the whole terminal
If they had a issue is it possible to send the district line trains via the fast lines
what Rain in England. what is the world coming to 😁 now you were talking about an assistent, I was thinking, what happened to your pretty co-pilot from a month ago ??? did she pass the final test. ????
I have not seen her. I have every faith that she passed her test
Better adjustment for the in-tunnel exposure
What happened at 14:00 when you went across the points and there was the flash and it sounded like you moved the lever a lot and it sounded like it was shaking and a beeping noise?
Piccadilly Line is far too slow in my opinion compared to the jubilee line, northern line, Victoria line and other lines that have ATO.
Used to be days where the Piccadilly line drivers used to thunder into stations like Victoria line, nowadays as the old drivers go and new drivers come along, it’s getting way to slow.
Just wondering, about the metropolitan line RAT, are you sure it's a D stock? I've seen videos of the A stock RAT, and I saw it once in ~2017 (I think?)
Could you explain the difference between a co-acting and a repeating signal? Based on what you’ve previously said my guess would be a repeater shows yellow when the signal is red and a co-acting signal would also show red? Is that true and are there other differences?
A co acting signal just copies a signal ( near it) as visibility might make it hard to see. It can only show a red or green aspect. A repeater is a signal placed to warn you a signal may be red and can only show a yellow or green aspect
@@dalecharmantravels8057thank you!
It always amazes me as we have more cameras watching our every move than any other city yet we have toe rags sneaking about graffitiing all along the railways
Is there any reason the trains have a high pitched whistle rather than a normal train whistle?
they should add an extra train or two to compensate for the speed restrictions.
So what do you are other drivers do when running a train along a track and you felt a damaged track.
38:36 Heard a loud pop sounded like the camshaft shutting off does the 73s use camshaft?
That's the linebreakers closing - they basically open and close giving and cutting power to the motors.
Last video you had with your mic came out of both speakers
41:17
*Buffers don’t like to be eaten.*
Fortunately I've set my audio to mono as I'm deaf in my right ear 😂
Hi Dale. Did you get a leaf fall badge? Great Video keep them coming. The new ones have electric wipers on the left and right windscreens but nothing in the middle.
If the sound only comes out one side, just use your hand to cover up one eye when your watching it and all will be fine.
Great video, great to watch while I eat my home made Chicken Madras and rice! I was wondering, do the power rails ever get a crust of frost on them and then you move along with a lovely constant shower of sparks and arcing?
In this video, why is there so often a "Not in use" sign below the station monitors? They still seem to be showing the platform.
Hello Dale, I cannot believe that there are some people asking you please can you drive and film Rayners Lane/Uxbridge or Heathrow Airport, because they should be aware that you as a driver/train operator, you are on a rotational roster and you get given shifts from control/line manager - they tell you which routes you drive and the hours that you work. Any way, do you enjoy driving the 1973 Tube Stock and are you looking forward to the brand new Siemens 2024 Tube Stock?
Please keep up the hard work - I hope that your job makes you happy and smile.
Best wishes and take care. Kind regards, Peter Skuce, St Albans. Hertfordshire.
What day is this
understand people can not always look at all the comments but the more you work the money you do get to be fair
You should be able to switch the flashing red LED off (tally light). With my GoPro 9 I go to Preferences > General > scroll down > LEDs > then choose from All On, All Off, or Front Off Only, I normally use Front Off Only.
the picc's west end RAT goes all the way to Uxbridge
Just after interest you have an easy accent, where do you originally come from? Ta good video as always.
Leaf fall? Whatever happened to autumn?🧐Terrific video as ever - waffle on my friend, waffle on!
Hi! Is there any subway in the world, you like to drive for a day? Outside London?
You manage to drain every ounce of enjoyment out of it with your endless waffle and the constant adverts. Bravo! 👏
When you go to Heathrow, are you directly under the airport?
6:54 There's graffiti on the District line train
Not surprised it’s all over the sub surface lines and some of the deep level tube lines
Leaf Restrictions on the Heathrow branch. That's funny
New camera setting made it look like it’s raining, no, but for real the video quality is great.

Stop bloody apologising, there is no need for you to apologise, just crack on and do what you do.
You passed a stastinon
Like the other side better.
