    The sequences featuring the Asian guard are from the television series Department S episode Last Train to Redbridge. The episode opening was about why on arrival at Redbridge was the guard and passengers in the last car dead.

      Thank goodness you were not in 1960s NYC subway. The trains were dark gray from 1955 til 1963 when the R33 class of World's Fair light blue and white and black lining around d the windows went into service for the following year's World's Fair in NYC. We lived in Flushing Queens NYC and in 1964 we moved to Richmond Hill another neighborhood in Queens. There was a modern subway map,that had the logo Follow the blue arrow to the World's Fair.

      I think its even more interesting than that - Holborn had two platforms for Aldwych , I think one was still the runnning platform, leaving the other one for filming purposes, I just dont recall central line stock being on the Piccadilly though, but I rarely used the Picc in 1968

      not really, most are pretty encompasing, though most commonwealth country peoples that came over for work tended to live and stay in areas where they found like persons, even to the extent that Sikhs tend to live in certain areas while the islamic/ hindu ones will be in a different part of the city, to some extent is the kind of work and pay levels they tended to get. I saw a film of the building of part of one of the later underground (must have been Victoria) , and did not realise how many indians were working near Romford casting concrete tunnel segments, I think they must have lived around north llford just south of the A12 ! What you did find was (unwritten) that while bristish happy those from overseas did the manual jobs - bus driver / conductor/ enginee they would not get promotion to inspector or foreman.
