      Yeah, they seem to be air-powered on most trains. I wonder why that is. I mean, sure, trains have compressed air available (runs the brakes) but they have electricity, too (turns the wheels).

    • @simontay4851
      @simontay4851 8 месяцев назад

      But trains probably don't have 12V DC, as a car would, to power windscreen wiper motors. You can't use the traction voltage to run a small wiper motor.

    Thanks for this very interesting insight into driving a tube train by rain! Don't worry about the windshield wiper. It's not that annoying in my opinion, and seeing what you see and have to deal with every day is exactly what makes your videos so enjoyable. Keep on! :)
    Which reminds me that I do want to go to London again, possibly even next year. If I fly into Heathrow, I am sure to ask you for your schedule so I can ride with you and your considerate PA's! This is so much better when there's a delay than hearing nothing at all which is especially frustrating for a tourist visiting for he first time ;)

    Great video as always Dale, I feel that your cab rides are amongst the best. My biggest gripe with other youtube channels, is that the cameras used dont seem to be able to cope with change in daylight to tunnel darkness. Been on this line a lot over the years when visiting relatives in Uxbridge. Some of the most iconic stations are on the Piccadilly line IMHO. Uxbridge and Cockfosters are almost like twins. Its as if they were designed by the same architect😂.

Just visiting your channel brings back many memories of my time in the UK. The train service then was excellent compared to what I receive now from our local station here in Australia, but the weather does not seem to have changed at all over the last 75 years or so.

I drove busses for First for many years in Southend and was often tempted to make the big jump to train driving. I guess there’s many similarities, especially with dealing with the passengers. Like you, I did all the late shifts. It’ll be all right if you didn’t have to keep stopping all the time. Anyway, I’m now an English teacher in Japan, so no more busses for me. All the very best to you.

      Those train stops do seem to be in some random places. I’m sure it will all make sense eventually

      I’m guessing it’s more buttons than levers in the box these days

      It’s just a board to protect people or objects falling on the positive rail

    A fascinating insight into the driver’s perspective.

    I have always wondered how the change of direction works. Is there another driver on the other end waiting, or is the driver going to walk through the whole train to the other end,
    Now that puzzle has been solved in my mind. Great that you showed that part also in this video.

      It’s the little things some times that as passengers we don’t think of. Like changing direction. I always thought at T5 there was a loop. As a passenger I had never noticed a cab each end

    Out of interest part way along the viaduct between Rayners Lane and South Harrow you can see the remains of the old spur. I believe this used to go to the gasworks many years ago.

    South Harrow had a old 1983 stock ex Jubilee Line sitting in the sidings back in 2015 I believe it was air lifted by a crane before South Harrow Sidings reworks
