  • In the last episode of Series 5, the team visit the Elizabeth line station at Bond Street during construction and explore a magnificent cavernous station being built moments away from one of London's busiest shopping districts. Chris, Siddy and Alex discover details behind the scenes of construction not seen before on their explorations of the line. The team will return with Series 6 later this autumn.

    What a fantastic look behind the scenes at a station under construction. The obvious - and clearly justified - pride of Rob in his station shines through as he describes every detail from the aesthetics of the artwork and architecture through to the practicality of fire and other safety design and the skills of the people who’ve put it all together. Really great show - thanks!

    Absolutely fantastic series! Just wanted to thank you all for doing these shows. People with the same genuine passion for the UndergrounD as I’ve had since I first travelled on it as a boy in the 1970’s. But what makes this so special is the way the 4 of you get on so well and present this with such a happy enthusiasm! Thanks again and roll on season 6!!!

    Hi guys, so thank you for such a huge series. Ive watched all of them, and Siddy's Secrets of the Underground. I love the underground too explored most of it when i was little and clubbing...i aseptically liked the sound of the electric going on at Mornington Crescent. I've, also yet to sample the elizabeth line. I have always been very interested with the old lines around the uk, specailly London. I noticed on one of the maps, that the district line had a westwards connection from the hammrsmith and city branch on to the westward section of the district line towards Ravenscourt Park.
    thanks

    Another brilliant video thank you. Went on a little Elizabeth line trip from canary wharf to farringdon last Tuesday. The WiFi on the train didn't work, the train got held for 5mins, the doors at farringdon didn't line up with the platform and the incline lifts were all out of service so I had to bring up the pushchair on the escalators. More what I expected.

    I still think that the railway companies should have recorded the sound of an old Solari board clacking over before they decommissioned them all, and the play that sound every time the big electronic displays update. It would bring back some great nostalgia, as well as providing waiting passengers with a useful cue to look at the boards because they had changed.

I would love to chat about my time in London 1951 to 1988 and about the opening day of the Victoria line on 1st September 1968. Next day will be exploring the Elizabeth line. I know what to look out for!
