    Pimlico being the least used station on the Victoria line makes sense to me, as it is the only Victoria line station that has no interchange to another tube or train line.
    Every other station connects either with other Underground lines, London Overground and National Rail Services. Pimlico is the only station on the Victoria that’s solely for the Victoria line.

      Same to be said to you, I don’t know you nor did I ask you anything. Yet you’re here under my comment talking because you want attention and sadly have nothing better to do. The jokes show themselves and write themselves.
      Also, a side note: it’s spelt “insane”, not inane. You wouldn’t use the word “inane” in the context of your comment. But I wouldn’t expect someone of your obvious brain capacity to know or understand. Telling people nobody asked while you also haven’t been asked is like shooting yourself. It’s an own goal. Have a good year!

    Fun fact about Green Park for northbound Piccadilly travellers: If you're going to Finsbury Park and beyond, you can change here from the Piccadilly Line to the Victoria Line, and then change back to the Piccadilly Line at Finsbury Park. Victoria Line between Green Park and Finsbury Park is quicker.
    HOWEVER: the huge walk to change from Piccadilly to Victoria at Green Park completely nullifies this. I tried this out of sheer boredom (I was going from Heathrow Terminal 123 to Turnpike Lane) and by the time I'd got to Finsbury Park, I got back onto the same Piccadilly Line train I'd got off at Green Park. Great if you fancy a walk. Pointless otherwise.

      Changing between the Victoria and Piccadilly lines (or vice-versa) is actually quicker and less stressful if instead of using the passageway, ascend the escalator to the ticket hall, then descend again via the other escalator to the required line. (The Piccadilly platforms are directly at the foot of the escalators there). The same applies to changing between the Piccadilly and Jubilee Lines.

    I used Pimlico station quite a few times when I was living in London, as the office I was working in was on Millbank. I used it for a few weeks, until I realised that the office was just as close to Vauxhall, but saved me a fortune in travel costs (but was bloody freezing walking across Vauxhall Bridge in winter!)
    Incidentally, where is Vauxhall station in your video?

    On the Victoria line you can connect to these Underground lines at these stations:
    Finsbury Park: Piccadilly
    King's Cross St Pancras: Circle, Hammersmith & City, Metropolitan, Northern and Piccadilly
    Euston: Northern
    Warren Street: Northern (Google Maps also show the Hammersmith & City Metropolitan and Circle lines passing here but it seems they dont serve this station)
    Oxford Circus: Bakerloo, Central
    Green Park: Jubilee, Piccadilly
    Victoria: Circle, District
    Stockwell: Northern
    At all other Victoria line stations, you cannot connect to other lines

    About 100 yards before arriving in the Southbound platform at Stockwell there is on your left a brick lined service tunnel which originally served as an incline for the City and South London Railway cars to be hauled up to the depot above.
    At Brixton the sidings beyond the station were built as running line and go down to Shakespeare Road. the plan was to go on to Herne Hill and Crystal Palace, but it was never funded

    Surprised that Pimlico is the least busy station on the Victoria Line as it's the Tate Britain stop, thought it would get some tourist traffic to boost its numbers. Though, then again, I do now seem to remember it being fairly quiet when I've used it (and it's not an interchange)

    Sounds about right. I've travelled several times to London, last time I was at King's Cross one of the station employees told me about both routes but seeing as I had luggage he suggested the easier route to lug the bags around would be the long way. :D Had I been sans bags definitely would have used the short way.

    Do the 2009 stock use ATO?
    I know the 1967 stock had ATO, they were the first automatic trains in the world. But I saw in a video somewhere (I think now it's been removed) of a Victoria line driver driving a 2009 stock train using a red handle. I thought that if the first Vic line trains had ATO then the later ones would have it too.
    I also interchanged from the Piccadilly line to the Jubilee line at Green Park and pointed the changing amount of grey tiles and dark blue tiles on the walls to my family. But I probably wouldn't have known they were there if I hadn't watched this video.

    why no barriers at finsbury park?? and what happens if you never tap out of your journey?

      Geoff passed through one of two enterances, whose exit from the platform indicated to national rail. I have only really used the other, and I think there is a good reason why they chose the one they did. Finsbury Park has a large bus station on each side, but he entered from the side that busses on southern route go, so more people probably have the option to go to Arsenal and Holloway Road. The northern bus station supplies service to Muswell Hill and service between Finsbury Park and Wood Green, which has far fewer tube stations. I only stayed there for a month, so a local could probably provide better info.

      you miss my point- if you tap out, but never tap in, what happens?

    The Kings Cross fact was covered by RUclipsr Tom Scott and his friend years ago, though the friend popped up outside for a minute rather than another alternative underground corridor

    Last time I was at Kings Cross St. Pancras I actually checked if I could get to both main line British Rail stations from the underground

    I noticed the same regarding the interchanges at Kings Cross. When I first moved in London, i used to follow them and losing ages to reach the other line. Now I learned the shortest way. Is it probably to direct the tourists and the "regulars" in two different ways to reduce the overcrowding?

    No , it’s not the only tube that stays underground because the depot it over the ground it’s the Waterloo and city line because the depot is under the ground.

      happysellotape hello! i think when we made itl we incorporated the Oveground (not just tube) passengers at Blackhorse Road too, and that could account for it ...

    In Canada Water Station (towards the lower road exit) there's a picture of the Warren Street Maze..... no idea why, it just hangs in a frame on the wall.
