- Highlights from the November 1990 Northern Line railtour which used the Heritage liveried 1959 tube stock train.
As the cover image suggests, to make it easier to see features along the line the train stopped in the tunnel and the lights were switched off. People inside the train had powerful lights which they used to illuminate the tunnel wall / whatever it was we were being shown.
I hope that I have all my facts correct!
On Carto Metro Free you can see all those lines but the Bushey Heath branch. Thanks for the 1930s explanation map.
angel wen it was normal
yes but it is much safer now that it has separate platforms rather than just the very narrow island platform
What time on the video can we see the old Angel platforms?
Clapham Common and Clapham North stations still have island platforms
Love how the 72mk1 stock rolls into Finchley Central
Heritage London underground is really nice, isn't. I love it pretty much!!!!
must admit i dislike the Underground. though this is a fab video...another little step back in time; hard to believe this is over a quarter-of-a-century ago!
Thanks :-)
I thought Angel was closed then to replace the narrow platforms
there were short term closures and the old ticket hall was closed / replaced.
did anyone see city road platform ?
I think I did manage to film it, albeit only part of it.
you did film City Road Platform Nice bro :)
LOL!! Those wagon shots of glum rail fans are P R I C E L E S S .. what might've been gnawing at them..that each passenger there was travelling some crowded excursion? (My! I laughed S O hard!)
1044, with classmate 1045 - as I'm sure you know - now live on Alderney Channel Island, used on the service between Mannez Quarry and Braye Road. I've just come back from there, after finally being able to get out there to do it! Diesel hauled these days, by a 70 year old vulcan shunter, push and pull mode, one engine principle. They only use one set of doors on each carriage now, but these are still compressed air operated, by the switch on the outside of the carriage. Really good to see 1044 running here under the juice as it was. On Alderney, I was told that the two coaches still use their original brakes, connected up to the Diesel by compressed air. The brakes will overpower the diesel easily I was told, in the event of an emergency stop!
So good also to see Angel Station here before my time, with "the Island".
Geoff and Vicki look different in this video!
Erik Griswold not on this channel buddy

I have no idea!
