    @2:30 The Jubilee line was originally going to be called the Fleet Line - a brilliant name. It not only went to Charing Cross, but the tunnels continued for maybe another half-mile further east (I've walked them) heading for the City of London. It would have gone under The Strand and Fleet Street with stations at places like Ludgate Circus - a route below a major London thoroughfare not well served by the Tube.

    • @HampshireBrony
      @HampshireBrony 8 лет назад +7

      The line is still powered by DC. The stock use an AC traction package.
      You also see this on mainline stock, the SWT Desiros have the AC traction package so give that UFO sound when they move off. 377s make a sound not dissimilar from the Jubilee stock.
      AIUI the AC motors are more efficient than the DC ones, so the energy loss by conversion is still worthwhile with the motor power.

      3 Phase AC is used in every modern Locomotive and train. Here in germany we even had the first ever build 3 Phase Locomotive the Br 120, Which is still used today. 3 phase AC is far easier to Control so you have a smoother Ride on the train. Look Up Sound BR 425 when you want to hear crazy Sound :)

  • @pubwebmaster
    @pubwebmaster 10 лет назад +9

    A nice introduction. It's interesting, to me, that the Jubilee Line from Finchley Road to Stanmore started life as the Metropolitan Line, then it became severed from the Met as a branch of the Bakerloo Line, with the tube section added between Finchley Road and Baker Street to relieve congestion and allow Met trains to run fast. Then in the 1970s, the tunnel from Baker Street to Charing Cross was built, the Stanmore branch of the Bakerloo was severed and the Jubilee Line was born. Initially, the proposal was for trains to carry on beyond Charing Cross under the Strand to Fleet Street, hence the original proposed name: the Fleet line. This could have provided interchange at Aldwych, and led to that station remaining open, in some form!
    Out east, the section from Stratford to Canning Town was built parallel to the old Eastern Counties Railway branch to North Woolwich, now mostly the DLR.
    Overall, one of LU's most complex line histories!

    I like the decision when they refurbished St John's Wood and Swiss Cottage stations, including replacing the wooden escalators with metal ones, to retain the old-style signage and uplighters, and use dark-brown coloured panels on the escalators instead of silver ones (reminiscent of their wooden predecessors, but still complying with modern safety requirements)

      Blake Talty I really don't know because in most corridors around the tube, people keep left. So you have to keep left along the corridor and then keep right on the escalator.

    I used to work on the construction site at the west end of Trafalgar Square in 1972. Worked with over 100 Irish navvies-absolutely wonderful guys- had a whip-round for me when I left for a expedition to South America. They sunk an access shaft for supplying the concrete segments and taking away the spoil, in this case London clay.
    Great times, I found out who are your best friends & comrades.............

    Westminster station before the rebuild used to have an exit solely for staff and MPs straight into the Houses of Parliament, not Portcullis House opposite, directly under Big Ben. Used to see parliamentary passes there checked by an old chap behind a desk and chandeliers in the distance.

    Canary Wharf station looks more like an airport terminal than a tube station, but I must admit it's one of the most impressive stations on the JLE. In fact all the stations on the extension are impressive in some way. It's one reason I love the tube - on some parts you have modern futuristic stations and on others you have Victorian and Edwardian gloom.

    The Jubilee Line has the dubious distinction of having perhaps the shortest-lived trains, which ran from when it was new in 1979 (and took over the Stanmore branch of the Bakerloo Line as you said in your Bakerloo line post). The proposal to link West Hampstead together I believe ground into the sand at some point. And you could point out that along with the Aldwych Branch of the Piccadilly, the Jubilee Line has a complete abandoned set of tunnels between Green Park and Charing Cross - you do mention the platforms.

      The 1972 stock that was initially used on the Jubilee is now in the running for the longest serving stock on the Underground, entering service on the Northern and Bakerloo lines in 1972. I presume you mean the 1983 stock, which only saw 14 years of service

    Used to take the Jubilee line from West Ham to Baker Street to get to my uni. Fun fact or maybe not, the West Ham football club stadium wasn't actually in West Ham but at Upton Park where I lived. Upton Park was serviced by the District Line and the Hammersmith Line.
