I've travelled on the Bakerloo line a lot, because of the age of the tube stock used, it's like a museum line and loved how the interior lights flickers even go out completely when it goes over points in the track works.
There should always be two lights in each car that stay on, run by the batteries. When i first knew the Bakerloo it had a lot of 38 stock with some 72s, nd ran to Stanmore as well as Queens Park (with 4 to Watford a day). When the Jubilee opened the Bakerloo was 100% 38 stock until 1982 when service cuts allowed spare 59 stock to transfer over. History repeats itself as again it has the oldest stock on the combine, and with no new stock planned, and that was before this lockdown! There will be even less chance of new trains for the Bakerloo and Central, even the Picc, which has had a contract signed for new trains with Siemens, may find a delay in delivery if TfL have no money?.......
I took the LU in 2014 (graduation trip) and Dec 2019 (vacation), i love taking the 1972 stock so much, the motor sound is classic and perfect for LU ! I also visited the Isle of Wight Railway to take the ex-1938 stock, it's my second time and probably the last chance, sure will miss them.
Yes, i too have done the 38s on the IOW, i have a couple of vids uploaded, including the Standard Stock that ran before them. See them on this playlist here ruclips.net/p/PLRjJ3alLpN5ysIcTgy-f6k1E5S8ZIwwKn

Agreed re the amount of people decending upon London. It's like the rush hour used to be, but all day long now. This vid was made in 2004 and at various times of day, and on different days (on some uploads you can see station clocks), and made in to one very large DVD.

No, it's the end of the line although you can walk up a flight of stairs to the Northern Line. Beyond the platforms are two tunnel sidings, there was a plan to extend the line to Camberwell in the late 1940s, they started but the tunnels filled with a lot of ground water so it was abandoned. There are two metal plugs that block off the workings now. See it here on this upload ruclips.net/video/yOplc5w0JMM/видео.html
Did anyone else notice there seemed to be some sort of unfolding incident on the radio as this was being filmed? At one point we hear him trying to stop a train due to an incident ahead on the line, but getting no response, trying multiple times to get the attention of a train, later we hear them talking about getting the attention of the London Fire Brigade for something
Any reports of a burning smell will have the line inspected by the LFB. If they can, the Line Controller will try and stop trains behind at stations rather than sitting in a tunnel.
Hello,you have learning films like it of piccadilly line ? Because and piccadilly and bakerloo similar in the more things and both interested,interested in history see bakerloo line trains on watford junction or 50s stock on piccadilly line (holborn branch to aldwych as good example) I'm sorry if my behavor for you impudent,i'm only interested in all in london underground but i'm live in other place.
@@SoiBuakhaoRoutemasterbus i forget that uploader's name but he has amazing both bounds from T4 to Cockfosters surprised me that video was down to T4 instead of Hatton X due to the restriction of filming at heathrow
@@AlfaRomeo128 Interesting clip. I wish my vid cam had been as small as they are now back when i was a driver, i could have got some great footage! Interesting to see the turnback sidings. I remember taking trains into the tunnel sidings at the Elephant, you stopped about 20ft short of a great metal plug!
Soi Buakhao it’s the first thing I thought mate. That, or stage shows or even pricing on things. I love 72 stock. Luckily “my station” train arrives in at Marylebone so I almost always have to use a 72 stock. Fantastic work horses. Feel proper too. Nice and solid, the new ones are functional and quiet but they just don’t feel as substantial inside
don't like the sound of that signal on the right curve also i can barely see any signals its like their camouflaged with the tunnel darkness and whatnot besides the visible ones like at waterloo and embankment
My favourite to least favourite lines Bakerloo Piccadilly Jubilee northern The Drain District Metropolitan Victoria Central Hammersmith and City Circle
My Favourite announcers to my least Emma Clarke Julie Berry The one on the Jubilee and northern lines The old Central and jubilee line announcement Driver announcements Sarah Parnell
Am I the only one that can't help but thinking "Why? That's stupid" when it talks about that signal being on the inside of a curve in a bloody tunnel then points out the bleeding obvious that it's a pain in the ass to see and leads to dangerous events like "Yeah no shit, maybe try fixing". Just seems like what should have been such a clearly poor design decision.
When a line is signalled it is done first on a graph. Signal spacing is determined by gradients, brakiung capacity of the trains on the line and over-lap needed before you get to the train in front (in case you go by at danger). The Bakerloo is a very old line and when built followed the line of the streets above to avoid paying ground rent to the properties above (this doesn't apply any more), so there are a lot of curves to it. This vid is an aid to drivers road learning, hence all these things pointed out to you. Eventually you will know where all the signals are by sheer repitition of working the line. Crews only work on the Bakerloo so there are a lot of trips you can do in a shift!
@@SoiBuakhaoRoutemasterbus Still seems like it would make more sense being on the outside of the curve, can't change the layout of the tunnel but it is possible to optimise sight lines working with what you have like that. I just don't see why it wasn't done that way in the first place but even that aside the previous near misses seem like they should have prompted moving the signal to be better sighted on the outside of the tunnel ignoring repeated SPAD's caused by the poor sight lines and not doing what can be done to fix the sighting is a bad idea, one day it wont be a near miss.
@@SoiBuakhaoRoutemasterbus Still no excuse to put a signal in a single track tunnel on the inside of a curve - that was already bad planning 100 years ago... And one stop up before Oxford Circus they put it on the left on a right hand curve... *insert facepalm
@@seraphina985 No one mentioned near misses, our trains are fitted with tripcock protection which applies the emergency brakes If a driver passes a danger signal. As for sighting, anywhere a signal is poorly positioned, there is a repeater to the rear to give drivers advance notification of what that signal is likely to be displaying. We are paired to observe & react primarily & diagnose train defects.
I imagine you mean why are two together? You get a stop signal with a repeater signal with it. The stop signal shows red or green whereas the repeater only shows yellow or green and is telling what is showing on the signal or signals ahead, which may be around a bend in the track.
Soi Buakhao the joys of the double greens 👍🏻 where a repeater is on the same signal post as a running signal, the repeater will not show any aspect if the running signal is showing a red aspect
The deep tube lines are, the Metropolitan, District and Circle/Hammersmith lines are main line sized loading gauge and are only 6-10 feet below the surface.

Yes, it had that effect on me as well, coming back from Harrow at the end of a night shift, sun coming up and straight in to your eyes......

i ewally want to learn all the stuff he was saying and what it means oh my word
Am I the only one that can't help but thinking "Why? That's stupid" when it talks about that signal being on the inside of a curve in a bloody tunnel then points out the bleeding obvious that it's a pain in the ass to see and leads to dangerous events like "Yeah no shit, maybe try fixing". Just seems like what should have been such a clearly poor design decision.
When a line is signalled it is done first on a graph. Signal spacing is determined by gradients, brakiung capacity of the trains on the line and over-lap needed before you get to the train in front (in case you go by at danger). The Bakerloo is a very old line and when built followed the line of the streets above to avoid paying ground rent to the properties above (this doesn't apply any more), so there are a lot of curves to it. This vid is an aid to drivers road learning, hence all these things pointed out to you. Eventually you will know where all the signals are by sheer repitition of working the line. Crews only work on the Bakerloo so there are a lot of trips you can do in a shift!
@@SoiBuakhaoRoutemasterbus Still seems like it would make more sense being on the outside of the curve, can't change the layout of the tunnel but it is possible to optimise sight lines working with what you have like that. I just don't see why it wasn't done that way in the first place but even that aside the previous near misses seem like they should have prompted moving the signal to be better sighted on the outside of the tunnel ignoring repeated SPAD's caused by the poor sight lines and not doing what can be done to fix the sighting is a bad idea, one day it wont be a near miss.
@@SoiBuakhaoRoutemasterbus Still no excuse to put a signal in a single track tunnel on the inside of a curve - that was already bad planning 100 years ago...
And one stop up before Oxford Circus they put it on the left on a right hand curve... *insert facepalm
@@sethanix3969 It kept you on your toes as a driver that's for sure!
@@seraphina985 No one mentioned near misses, our trains are fitted with tripcock protection which applies the emergency brakes If a driver passes a danger signal.
As for sighting, anywhere a signal is poorly positioned, there is a repeater to the rear to give drivers advance notification of what that signal is likely to be displaying. We are paired to observe & react primarily & diagnose train defects.
Do you know why so many of LUL signals are paired together?
Do you mean where you have signals with the same id but with an a or b at the end?
I imagine you mean why are two together? You get a stop signal with a repeater signal with it. The stop signal shows red or green whereas the repeater only shows yellow or green and is telling what is showing on the signal or signals ahead, which may be around a bend in the track.
Soi Buakhao the joys of the double greens 👍🏻 where a repeater is on the same signal post as a running signal, the repeater will not show any aspect if the running signal is showing a red aspect
@@projiuk Correct! I still remember all this from my courses at the School in White City back in the day.....

Ok Jesús love you
never knew the tunnles where this small
The deep tube lines are, the Metropolitan, District and Circle/Hammersmith lines are main line sized loading gauge and are only 6-10 feet below the surface.

Correct! All my thumbnail's are actual shots from the vid uploaded....
why the f**k is the train whistling
No idea, only ever needed to in a tunnel perhaps coming into a platform and someone is too near the edge ect.....

I asume yor comment above, "cesspool", refers to the general state of the Bakerloo Line?......
