Now northern line is ATO system controlled and the 95 stock faster than before. The 72mk1 and 59s were not compatible with the new signal system. Clapham Common and Clapham North stations still have island platforms. Angel and Euston were island platforms before being rebuilt to single platforms.
The centre rail is the negative return. All Network Rail trains return through the running rails but it was thought that underground there would be too much current leakage in the early days of the Underground and the system has been continued with ever since.
cool video. In the summer of '88 I rode that very line from Balham to downtown many many times in the month and a half we were staying at a house on Rossiter.
I read about the course that the CSLR took to reach King William Street. To say the least, it was stretching what was possible for electric traction at the time far beyond its limits. Not only did it have sharp curves to comply with the building regulations of the day, to follow public rights of way, but also because of this, the tunnels were built one above the other. This meant that the gradients were too much for the little locomotives that hauled those first trains. Due to the curves, the Board of Trade imposed a 15mph speed limit, however, if the locomotives were to have any hope of climbing into King William Street, they needed to be driven flat out, but even this wasn't necessarily enough and many trains stalled on the steep gradient, requiring the train to roll back to try again and possibly have a banking engine helping to haul it up the slope. What modern day health and safety legislation would make of that, we can only speculate
If the direction of travel southwards is analog, then the narrow platform on the City branch would be the Angel, Later it was rebuilt as a twin tunnel station, the southbound platform taking up the entire space of the tunnel and a new northbound tunnel built with a new platform.
The outer rail(3rd rail) is bearing a 420V DC positive voltage, the inner rail a 210V DC negative voltage. +420 is added to -210 and we have a total system voltage of 630V Direct Current. To be honest I'm not from London. But I looked it up in the past and I remembered it.
@jamwithmates123 Thanks. I think something similar on the central line as at West Ruislip you can see where the line would have been continued. Do U have a favourite line ?
They were going to extend it to Bushey Heath (if that's the place you mean), and build three new stations - Brockley Hill, which is now just stumpy brick things (ghostly aren't they), Elstree South, which is now a petrol station and Bushey Heath, which is now a nothing. Jay Foreman did a video on the NL extension. It's worth watching!
Im going to order this. I love seeing the drive eye vision. Can I just ask. Is a stupid question, but what is the middle rail for? Is it also electricity or?
The middle rail is the negative rail. It is bearing a voltage of -210V DC(negative). The outer rail is bearing a voltage +420V DC(positive). If we add the +420V to the -210V, the result will be a system voltage of 630V DC.
Nope, 1995s are still manually controlled. 96s are running under "CBTC" (Communications Based Transmission Control), a form of ATO that works similiar to the system on the Central Line.
Golders Green does not have a depot. It's a siding. If you see a few trains parked in the side, it's a siding. Not just one train be parked. If there is one, then it's a turnaround
Yeah the 1959 Stock the exact exile as the 1962 Stock i know a lot cos i have been learning about the London Underground for years now and the #1 tube i know a lot is the Northern Line
@jamwithmates123 The MML. The Metropolitan Main Line which I suppose technically goes Amersham but I call the main line to Uxbridge as thats where Ive been regularly going to since 1978. Now I like to take my dog out abnd walk the Grand Union canal out there which along with Roman Roads etc etc is another love of mine.

Can you do a newer version once the Battersea branch is open pls??
The Northern City and West End branches were filmed in 1999 when there were still a few of the old trains still in service.
And now as of 2024 it’s just the 1995 tube stock trains out and about
Just one thing in the vid, it is stated that Morden is in Surrey. Since 1965 it has been in London, London being a county in it's own right.
Now northern line is ATO system controlled and the 95 stock faster than before. The 72mk1 and 59s were not compatible with the new signal system.

the ato was introduced after the old trains were already gone, it wasn't a case of incompatability.

i used to work at golders green depot and often rode in the drivers cab when i had to go down to the morden depot. it is great to get the drivers view

There were or are two. Clapham North and Clapham Common I believe.
They still are
rail 1 = electric
rail 2 = running
rail 3 = electric
rail 3 = running

Great video! I've go both of them! Well worth buying!

Great video. ☺️
now they are between west finchley and high barnet
Northern Line 1995 Tube Stock
am I right in thinking before the war they were going to extend the line to Bushey ?

Music?
Wasn't Angel one of them too? (which explained the huge southbound there)
I saw South Kentish Town on a train 3 or 4 times! Why dont they show it on this?
south kentish town closed in 1924
Have you got the circle line drivers view video
