London's longest underground interchange walk!
HTML-код

- Hot on the heels of the video showing a 15 minute walk though the Paris Metro subways comes this one. I thought to myself London can do better - and it can!
Some will probably guess the locations but not the route that was involved.
The system was entered at the TfL boundary in the Liverpool Street main line station concourse and exited at the TfL boundary by the new Moorgate ticket hall entrance.
SEVEN different underground lines were walked past! Central, Elizabeth, Northern, Great Northern, Circle, Hammersmith & Metropolitan lines. That's five tube lines and two main line rail routes!
How did the walk come to be 23 minutes though? Well there's a route that I used which isn't very well known (I've used parts of it for a long time - since the 1980s in fact when I used to live in nearby Old Street) and the route involved no backtracking, no crossing over any of the route that had already been walked etc.
Its not meant to show that this is an 'interchange' in the truest sense. Those showing that at Paris merely entered and exited the system without even getting on a train - and that is what I've done too. I entered TfL's boundary at the Liverpool Street main line station concourse by Platform one and exited the TfL boundary at Moorgate (new Moorfields exit) thus the entire walk was entirely on TfL's property.
Some will probably think this is a Geoff or a Jago or maybe even a Jen or a Nick (or any other number of bloggers) video that should have been done and not a disabled autistic non-verbal blogger. But that's not how its worked. I did this first - not the others! But no doubt I'm certain others might want to leap on this and claim theirs as being the first or whatever! Kudos to them of course! And no acknowledgement that a disabled person had both filmed it and was the first to do so!
The video is as it is. Its raw. No edits nothing. No muzak. No dancing. No giving of prizes. No 'subscribe here' even! And best of all there's no commentary. That's because I have disabilities and its beyond my ability to do what others can do - besides I'm not even going to try for that would be cheating -- in a sense of course!
In due course the film will be presented in 70mm widescreen format with glorious technicolour and Dolby sound stereo! LOL!
Some even longer 'interchanges' or maybe extremely long London underground walks as they could alternatively be called, have been filmed since this one - however the issue then is some of these have extremely long walking tunnels that aren't really interesting and it means the longer the walks get (and the videos themselves too) the interest becomes somewhat less. In other words there's a risk these long underground walking stints could become boring. In high-speed mode (that is anything more than 4x, 6x even 8x speed) they look absolutely fine but at normal RUclips speeds it does become a little tedious.
In retrospect I have decided this is the only one which will be available at normal video speed and that is because it has a lot of interest en route. New ones that are shown on this channel will be high speed versions as the interest is still going to be quite high - compared to a slow plod through long passageways with very little of interest (like those at Bank-Monument).
Hello is everything okay with your breathing? Mid-video you sound like your nearly collapsing (from just walking?)
Try being an elderly person doing a non-stop video and walking up and down stairs and corridors non-stop too! I had considered doing this in three separate filmed sections and then joining these up but then I thought no I'll try and do it in one go as it would look more authentic. By the time I got to the Moorgate bit I was struggling.
@@London-Rail im sorry I didn’t want to be mean just genuinely asking.
I didn’t know you are an elder, that makes videos like this more impressive. Keep up the work as long you’re able to and have fun!
Pretty sure good old Geoff Marshall @geofftech2 could make a rather good "All The Shortcuts" video about all the various passageways and platforms around Liverpool Street, Moorgate, Farringdon and Barbican and the quickest ways to get between each one :D
Of course! Anyone that has speech and full faculties will do so much better! I'm nothing compared to those who have full access to speech and the means by which it can be used to make money :D
Lol😂
If u could go from moorgate to barbican it could go all the way to farringdon
Euston to Euston Square is considered a long walk that I walked from Euston Square to Euston main line station. Perhaps you could do Waterloo to Waterloo East and see how long it takes to walk from one station to the other.
They are interchanges however they are not long ones. Waterloo to Waterloo East can seem long because of those ramps that lead down to the platforms, but its not as long as others.
Interesting bro... My dream country😻
Nice video...
Thanks! My videos aren't so bad after all!
Good way to keep fit. ❤
Nice work! Apart from the first few minutes, I knew this whole route.
As I see you’ve written in the comments you’ve tried to justify this being in the same category as the Paris interchange but unfortunately it is not. The Paris interchange was notable for being the fastest walk between the two. This video is not that. And yes, there was backtracking because for example you were on the northern line moorgate platforms twice.
Still a great video but your claim unfortunately doesn’t hold up. No hate to you though of course, I’m autistic too :)
"Its not meant to show that this is an 'interchange' in the truest sense." (that's what I wrote in the description) but to show that London has something that is long - and longer even - even though its not a truly an interchange! I didn't backtrack the Northern Line platforms as I only used a short bit at the northern end and the southern end (so these were completely separate sections and on separate platforms so did not even touch the route I had used earlier.) I've explained on social media its not meant to be a 'Paris interchange' but merely just to show London has something that could be considered longer even if this one is a bit, well, mad, zany even. I did show that there was an underground walk on the London tube system that could be seen as being much longer than that in Paris. Have had people say I'm cheating but if anyone think's its a claim to prove this is a better interchange than that in Paris, it isn't! Maybe I shouldn't have bothered with this after all!
@@London-Rail The issue is that a Paris metro video could be even longer if it's done as you did by going to most the platforms.
Thus your video isn't comparable.
To have been coomparable you should have been from Liverpool street to Morgate while taking the fastest walk route within the corridors and not using detour by going to the platforms of several lines.
I love your reply! Yes I do know that but as I said its not meant to be a interchange in the sense they are used. Does anyone read what I say when I explained what I did? Have you any more thoughts by the way? I think its important to maintain elevated ideas isnt it? @@Furitokama
@@London-Rail you should have bothered, it is a great video!! but comparing it at all to the paris example (and you did make the comparison) is slightly disingenuous, thats all! i also class that as using the northern line platforms twice personally
May I ask what time of the day this was? It's not very busy!
At the start of the evening rush hour - it was starting to get very busy.
@@London-Rail thanks!
