- Geoff Marshall travels the length of the Jubilee Line to discover some of its more unusual features. He finds a secret governmental tube entrance, the network's most pointless waiting room, and an elephant.

@@ElectroRail I am sad. Anyway, he’s a British Minecraft youtuber that also makes music. He has an old album (he hates it now btw) called “You’re city gave me asthma” with a song called “Jubilee Line”. It’s a song about…well….suicide.
@@Loumba withc is why i HATE IT
I discovered today that the Jubilee line doors really hurt when they close on you
Oooooh that must have felt
@Tom Mercer I would think they'd hurt on any line, not just the Jubilee line.
But they normally slow down when they come closer though. But the bakerloo line doors are very sharp closing doors and they just slam on you
Doesn't the Jubilee line run every 2-3 minutes?
Tom Mercer Ikr, the jubilee line and northern line doors are the same so they both hurt
How are you not all over our nation's TV screens? These videos are absolutely excellent, so well put together, and so very interesting as well... and with just the right amount of cheesiness to boot.
Geoff, you and your small team are surely on the way to big things.
Who Just Loves That Sound When The Train Moves On The Jubilee Line! :D 0:45
Lisa Saunders Yup c:
I know.
That same VF is present on the Sao Paulo Metro F fleet, built by Alstom, in 2002.
The Alstom Xtrapolis stock in Melbourne AUS make the same noise, interestingly
Me lmao
yes youtube, i know that the jubilee line is a real train line but i just want to hate to see you leaving, a fate worse than dying.

Stop
@@PatrickMapper no?
@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.
There’s a reason, London put barriers on the tube line,

Every time I've used Canary Wharf Jubilee station I came out at the so-called "secret exits"... never knew the main one existed!
Leannyly I
Haha
Like me
You mean Moor Park?
Hmm
Westminster was, when dug, the largest hole in Europe. It was an amazing feat of engineering to keep the District and Circle lines running while the hole was being dug.
Does anyone know why the Jubilee trains make that unique noise when setting off from a station?
Oooh, interesting. Is there a known reason as to why the Jubilee trains run on AC rather than DC?
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.
The 1996 stock uses AC 3 phase induction motors that are simlar to the motors on the Networker Family of trains
I like the noise
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 :)

did you know that the Jubilee line connects to every other line on the underground! it also connects to the dlr, overground, buses (obviously) and riverboat services
Trams: ahem?
oh... but I don't think that counts as a line
@@CoolTransport I mean, still part of the Tube map xD
But never mind.. 😅
@@boiboiboi201 oh ok
same with all but the District, Met and W&C
The Jubilee and Northern lines are my favourite lines on the whole underground network anyway. I love the sound that the trains make as they slow down to stop and speed up again on the jubilee line, and using Waterloo, southwark, London bridge and canary wharf as an example, the general look of the corridors etc is a fond memory for me :-)
I lived at Willesden Green and sometimes when the Jubilee Line is down the Metropolitan Line is used and that platform springs in to life.
Yes, Willesden Green and Neasden are the only two stations between Finchley Road and Wembley Park with platforms adjacent to the Met Line tracks.
2:45 I still love that sound
IK
Nice one Geoff! Keep em coming! I still love watching your attempt at the world record for every station visited in the shortest time on that old episode of the tube!
Absolutely love your videos Geoff! So interesting and informative (and nostalgic). In the 90s / 00s I regularly travelled to Stanmore on the Jubilee line so this video brings back fond memories
I see what you did there. you were wearing a brown shirt for the bakerloo at the beginning because stanmore used to be a bakerloo terminating station.
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!
The most exciting thing about the Jubilee Line is that Canary Wharf station was used as a set in the Star Wars: Rogue One film.
Of course you've written a substantial blog post about this...
jsd23 I didn't know this

DundeeDriver which scene?

I know these videos are a few years old now, but I do enjoy them. Thank you for taking the time to make & post them.
These are the only videos I watched during lock down because I was bored, this cured my boredom. Thanks Geoff!
Only station to not have a letter from the word "mackerel" is St Johns Wood.
Knew that a long time ago, great fact. I feel sorry for whoever had to take every underground station and compare it to the word ‘mackerel’
Shwervin Mervin And even that's not vaild if you spell "Saint" out in full!!
How in the name of god did you work this out
Hoxton is the only Overground station with the same property.
Ian Mcclavin no one even says that
The JLE stations are kinda my favourite stations as well as the jubilee train stock with the mention that not all disabilities are invisible
Thanks! Asked you to do this a few months back and I'm glad you've done it!
After a recent trip to London and an interest in the London Underground.
I have really enjoyed your videos, Great work and well put together!
there‘s a reason
that london puts barriers on the tube line
theres a reason why they dont work
Stop.
@@user-ys1mb9ho2m but theres more reason why you suck
@@Sophiebryson510 imagine being shit L
@@pitku5210 I’m not shit, I’m just outspoken
2:10 Geoff’s face looks abit confused and makes me laugh 😂 probs just me tho lol
Thank you for making these videos. As a non-Brit I have to stop every 15 seconds to locate the stations on the map (geographically correct), but it's very much worth it.
My late grandmother used to live just a short bus ride or a 20-minute walk from Queensbury Station and seeing the roundabout with the huge roundel has taken me way back. When I stayed with her I'd often walk to her house from that station rather than catch the bus.
I'm loving these videos!!!!
3:16 I already knew that revolving door because my mum used to work in Westminster and every time I came to her work on the way home we always came in that way
My home line. My local station is Queensbury and the Jubilee line trains have such a unique sound I can remember it from when I was 5 years old in 1996 when the current stock would have rolled out.
Thank you. I am a lifelong fan of the NYC subway and would love to learn more about the London Underground. Great video.
Steven Green, you should take the Bakerloo Line to Marylebone because the tiling pattern looms like the abandoned City Hall station.
The jubilee line is the best by far. On the tube map, it's the only line that makes sense.
Victoria line?
Picadilly is the best
bakerloo?
Very nice and informative presentation - loved it!
This is such a great series. I've watched them all and I still have a life!
ok youtube, i get it, theres a reason they fail.
2 ppl got the reference i see...
*shout at the walls
because the walls don’t fucking love you*
i cry listening to jubilee line on repeat.
@@idolisticremember
I got it 😢
I’ve been getting cheap tickets on an app. Want a share?
The Jubliee Line is basically everything I want in the Ny subway, CBTC, platform screen doors, big platforms, god damn we need money....
Chad M by the way it only has platform edge doors on the new bit from Westminster to stratford
Same in Toronto, we are getting CBTC (we will call it ATC/ATO Automated Train Control/Operation), platforms are already fairly big but no platform doors even on the new extension that opened last year.
Chad M and a cinema
and decent trains
we have those here in Singapore, all stations here have platform screen doors
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)
Just over that bridge @ West Hampstead is the Railway Bell Pub, where in 1979 I saw the Pretenders play support act to the Members.
Great as always, well done! THX :)
The Jubilee Lines the BEST!!!
The walls dont fckn love me
Fascinating stuff. Many thanks, Paul in Lower Boddington
Currently on a binge of these videos, they're fantastic. Secrets of the clockwork orange in Glasgow please!
2:21 he was standing on the left of the escalator not ok : |
don't they keep left as this is Britain?
abrahamdsl you would think so but I take the tube everyday and you keep right on escalators when standing and left when walking
Ethano williamo in Australia where I live, we stand on the left so why don't you?
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.
Ethano williamo Weird but fair enough
When I go to London this year, I'll look out for these 😜
I lived in a flat with my kitchen window looking over West Hampstead’s tube platform, that unique sound of Jubilee trains departing is so very familiar!
stumbled into this film by chance, what a discovery!
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.............
1:32 casually standing in the middle of the road haha
Lmao this is so funny he has no road sense lol
4:49 I'm off to get the train home, but not this one.
Love your vids mate, such cool facts! 😉😉
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.
3:04 this music makes me satisfied
1:29 Am I the only one that’s noticed that Geoff is standing in the middle of the road?
Thanks for this! I have learnt so much more abt the jubilee line! My favourite line is the circle line
i didnt know about the ironworks plate at canning town and im such a big user of that station. thank you for showing that
St. John's Wood is the only tube station not to contain a letter from the word 'mackerel'
I read it in a book called A History of Capitalism According To the Jubilee Line, by John O' Farrell. It was hilarious
I mean... You're not wrong...
Not true if you spell "Saint" out in full, although you don't normally see that here!!
No one even says saint
That is amazing!
THERES A REASON, THAT LONDON PUT THEIR BARRIERS ON THE RAILS
You didn’t even get the lyrics right
Great stuff, thanks Geoff
0:01 I like how you say *"its a bit of a grey rainy day!"*
I love how all the comments are about wilburs song
Any chance you could leave the captions up just a tad longer, please? ;-)

well done another great video, better than a lot shown on TV
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 is my favourite line
Same!
And by far the most interesting! I mean, this must be the best episode of this series
i see what you did at the beginning
if u don’t know, in the bakerloo line video he did the same thing, but the opposite weather and brown shirt
I really like or should say love your and my favourite station on the jubilee line is Stratford. Thanks Geoff.
Thanks for doing this line. It's my favourite line.
If it doesn't boggle your mind too much, there's another entrance/exit for Canary Wharf Station, the station links up with the nearby shopping mall and you'll may get into it directly from the station. :)
Ben1948 has jkdkoooficchjjsà
It said it. Read the damn stuff
Wait!!! You love ST James Wood??
Jk love the videos
Love the section of the Jubilee Line that runs parallel with the Metropolitan Line ♥️
If you come out of Kilburn tube station and turn right under the middle of three rail bridges. Between those two bridges, a mock-up facade of the Bijou Cinema was built for the 1957 film "The Greatest Show On Earth".
1:13 "They used to."
You don't say, Geoff? :P
When I Hear 'Stanmore' Sometimes I Hear 'Stand More' lol
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
When Geoff said between Wembley park and Finchley Road the metropolitan line trains don’t stop here he wasn’t lying, when I went to Wembley to watch Huddersfield vs forest (we lost) we saw metropolitan line trains passing after Wembley park
These videos leave me astounded! Our metro system here in Toronto is pathetic by comparison.
Is Toronto as big a city as London or have as many people?
Your lines 3 and 4 are absolute jokes.
You subways look very clean and beautiful, we need more subways in Toronto
we call them Tube/Underground Lines
We do have Subways here, but they're either fast food places, or a footpath underneath a roundabout/busy road.
The jubilee line between Westminster and Stratford is quite new and so is not a fair reflection of the status of the rest of the system
Maybe with our new Premier, we will finally get the Downtown Relief line.
It was worth the wait. Thanks geoff :)
Cool facts, I like your cool secrets about trains.
and there's a reason, why london puts barriers on the tube line.
_shoooout at the wall_
Got to love the Jubilee Line
Geoff! Love your videos!
All JLE stations are fitted with platform edge doors... except for from north greenwich and stratford
I mean between Canning Town and Stratford
Nicodo123 not all just the extended stations to stratford
Also West Ham
North Greenwich does platform edge doors
*THERES A RESAON*
Nice video Geoff keep it up
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.
