- Hugh gives the full history of London Overground from its humble beginnings in 2007 to today where it is now an integral part of Londons transport system.
We do hope you enjoy this slightly experimental kind of video with only voiceover, don't worry this isn't the norm for the future we just want to experiment with other kinds of videos.
Line Names Video: • London Overground’s NE...
Also a quick correction to what I say at 03:50, the 172s weren't supposed to be temporary but due to a surprise rise in passenger numbers the government approved electrification of the line.

I genuinely thought I was watching Jago Hazzard for a second
You are the observant watchers to my very informative London area transportation video!
That mock LO livery on 465 is utterly ghastly!
It's amazing how some liveries look great on some units are horrific on others
True
What minute
Great video Hugh! Vs Silverlink, LO is a huuuge improvement and has revitalised the network! New format works well, look forward to more of these video :D
Coincidence that Silverlink has been brought up in both of your new videos
yeah it is a coincidence lol ~Hugh
@@thetflthree Genuinely is as well!!! 😅
Yes, I enjoyed the documentary style. Thank you.
That London Overground Class 465 is broken 😂 great video, did like the voicer over history
Loved the new format; concise, informative and interesting with relevant video footage. Yes please to more like this 👍
Im very local to the goblin and North London line and i remember all those closures of the goblin line 7 years ago it was so annoying but electrification of the goblin line was definitely a good decision anyway great video Hugh 👍
Great video! Keep up the voice overs, was an enjoyable and informative watch 👍🏼
Love the new format! Please do more content like this!
I really enjoyed your VO video. It makes it easier for me to concentrate on the content of what is being said. One suggestion, though, would be to animate the maps in some way to highlight the stations you are referring to.
Keep up the great work!
Really great video - excellent way for a person with limited historical knowledge to understand the history of the Overground network we see today....
Honestly, understanding all this together makes me appreciate the London Overground line even more!
very interesting and the voice over was fine.
The voice overs are amazing 👏😊
Great video!👏
Great video, format works well.
Great video man
Would love to see you do history videos on:
The Underground
DLR
Elizabeth Line
Tramlink
Hugh that’s a very good video
great video
10:55 its soo funny you should have this random footage of battersea park because when this video first started i literally was thinking about this rare service that i travelled on a couple times in real life.
I always look at the platforms there when playing train sim wishing there could be drivable service.
Wonder why they stopped it in real life though
Great video.
Fantastic video
I do think that some services will transfer to the Elizabeth line if TFL takes over services from Southeastern. But Overground definitely will be a big part too.
Brilliant and fantastico.
I lived in Barking for over 20 years now, before that I live in Hackney. I rememberd taking sliver link train from Stratford to Hackney centre back in 2003 -2005 to go to college the sliver link was very on reliable service. We have to wait for so long for the train to come.
Hi, just to say that the WFJ - SAA (Watford Junction - St. Albans Abbey) Line was originally actually part of the Silverlink Metro Sub Network, however TFL didn't want that line so it got transferred to London Midland. It may have temporarily been part of the Silverlink County Sub Network between the TFL Takeover and end of Silverlink franchise. Cheers, best regards, Anthony.
Alstom who built the Class 710 4-Car and 5-Car units for London Overground could manufacture more Class 710s including few extra Class 710/1s for the Lea Valley Lines and to operate them as 4-Car and 8-Car. Few extra Class 710/2s for the Gospel Oak-Barking Line and Euston-Watford DC Line and maybe few extra Class 710/3s for the Euston-Watford DC Line and North London Line.
As London Overground has new Class 710 Aventra trains built by Alstom (formerly Bombardier). I do think that Alstom could manufacture more Class 710s. Including extra Class 710/3s 5-Car for the Euston-Watford Junction and North London Line.
Few extra Class 710/2s 4-Car for the Gospel Oak-Barking line as the Barking Riverside section is completed. And extra Class 710/1s 4-Car for the Lea Valley Lines and to introduce 8-Car services to Chingford, Cheshunt and Enfield Town and 1 4-Car Class 710/1 on the Romford-Upminster line.
The Class 710 order already included additional units for the Riverside extension. I doubt there will be more 710s built - especially as ‘spare’ 720s are available.
@@bfappleClass 720s are used for Greater Anglia and c2c. And both train operators don’t need any more Aventras.
Seeing a London Overground Livery on a Class 465 was something I did not need to see
Do the history of the InterCity125 by region
Hugh how did you make that overground and 465 picture. I want to do that to the 700
he didn’t. it was made by someone else years ago on flickr.
@@jos4669 oh I must learn how they do that lol
@@stalbanstransport proficiency in advanced image editing software like gimp and photoshop, probably
Would you rather
class 378 or class 710
and on what line is best
5:32 he has been voted to be a goveneer because of the “boris busses” Sadiq says by 2030 they will be power with either helium or hydrogen
What about brokmans park?
Any video that starts with "So" is pretty suspect in my book 😉, but this was very well done. The Overground brand was actually launched in 2006, but didn't "go live" until late 2007. Nice to be reminded of the proto-Overground branding of O.N. I remember seeing the signage at Twickenham station in 2003-04 and a few other ones as well. It makes sense for the Overground lines to be given their own identities, but the decision to finally implement it makes me think that there's an unconscious admission that no more NR lines will come under the auspices of TfL.
young jago hazard
Is it me or does the 710 look like something out of a cartoon
I loved it but from the minute 10:25 to 10:35 was a big disaster
London overground class 465 043 🤣🤣
What’s the time
@@Ukraineprogaming 10:27
A new London train challenge now there are six named overground lines: ruclips.net/video/bF-o6iocLBQ/видео.html
I normally decide while I'm filming videos whether they're better being live action with to camera explanations, live action with voiceover (possibly with a bit of talking to camera to add a bit of depth, plain film with voiceover or sometimes just film with background music and explanatory captions.
Jago Hazzard has made a great career with only voiceovers in all of his videos.
OH NO! 10:28
By the way London northwestern railway doesn’t exist
Yes it does
😂😂😂
Great video but please don't say "Goblin Line". "Goblin" stands for Gospel Oak Barking Line so you're basically saying "line" twice.
I bet he says PIN number too. What a bastard 😆
than you mean just saying Goblin not saying the word "Line"
Did him saying ‘Goblin Line’ kill you?
This guy probably corrects Terms and Conditions
pedantic, but technically correct
(Hello!)
I also like this rail network, its trains, etc.
“Battersea park””change for southern”
HS2 has already been cancelled
UGH
