They want to people to go around in a certain way to avoid conflict with people coming in to the station and those going out and also to avoid a crush at busy times!! Back in the 90s I knew the Underground quite well ! ( I like to think !) . At certain stations if I went through " No Entry " signs and I went against the flow of passengers I could save a lot of walking distance and time on my journey !

So I want to look for the old Ticket Hall? Can someone pinpoint the street coordinates? And form there it will get me down directly to Victoria South without the 5min walk? I just had surgery and the walk, on top of the wall to the station, is killing me! I just don't have a refereence of which entrance to enter and every time I look for a shortcut I send up on the extra tour!

a simple trick for King’s Cross tube station will be no matter where you’re going, always look for the Euston Road exit 😂 (except going to St Pancras from the Northern line, changing between subsurface and deep-level lines, or looking for lifts)

3:00 I wonder if in seventy years time, some commuter services into Paddington might make use of the mainline train sized Elizabeth Line tunnels to finally give everyone who lives west of Pad and works in the City, what we've all been dreaming of. A direct service from Exeter St. David's to Liverpool Street.

Every now and then, good ol' bad ol' TH-cam actually comes up with the goods. I'm hereby apologising for not having found you beforehand whilst already grinning with childlike glee at the realisation that I have some catching up to do. Poor moi. Judging by my inability to find any other video taking the same approach, I shall have to remain newly semi-satiated yet back on one of those not really all that important quests which bounce around in certain numpties noggins. Being one such, I'd like to be totally spoiled by more of the same treatment applied to the other new bits of Bank and their forbears; inevitable stratas of subsoil and alluvial clay notwithstanding. Ha!

Just come across this (and your other videos). Is there a part 2?

This looks really interesting but it's kinda clickbaity as we never get to the island! Where is part2! :)

The art piece at the end is a graphical representation of a TBM breaking breaking into your tunnel. I think.

And now the KGX Thameslink building is shut due to water ingress

back when i use to live like 1 minute away from here, i always use to convince my mother to use this side entrance as for some reason it was always open back when i lived there & the only reason i did this was so i could look into the old thameslink platforms which i was always intrigued by, everyday i would look into these platforms and i think I remember a FCC class 319 running through one time and i was so happy about it but that was the only time i saw a train run past, i’ve been researching this part of the plethora of kings cross railways since like 2022 and i learn more and more the more i research and it really puts myself at east knowing I’m answering an old childhood query and healing my inner-child doing what he loved most.

did you ever do anything on the old Hotel Curve platform? I once got out there as a teenager when the suburban line platforms were blocked prior to it closing. Does any of it still exist?

Are there any lifts from the old ticket hall down to the Victoria line? and just wondering, where is the entrance(s) to the old ticket hall?

The old entrance in Pentonville Road has now closed and has been boarded up.

is there a full 3d map in graphics to show the full london underground to see the amazing spiderweb :D ? Would love to see.

🤪 *PromoSM*

I've never been to King's Cross station. I've never yet visited Britain. But the algorithm recommended this to me, and I inexplicably enjoyed it thoroughly. I shall now be prepared to enjoy this shortcut when I finally do visit the United Kingdom, thank you!

What about the Hammersmith and City Line?

Very nice. I want to go visit Battersea Power Station. Such a amazing landmark in South London.

I would lower the music volume for the next one

Absolutely shameful how few views this has gotten! Your channel is in my opinion one of the best and most quirky channels currently making videos about UK infrastructure. The fact that you used pictures from 11 years ago is so cool, as well as the fact that you didn't push any one opinion too strongly! Your animation/3D modelling skills are also very impressive. I will be sharing this!

British person gives the cost of a British development in DOLLARS for some reason. FFS.

Plus it has a brand new tube station called Battersea Power Station Station.

What a shame about the cranes indeed!

Phenomenal as always!

Music is jumping a bit all over the place compared to the volume of your voice, but really awesome images!

I remember the store it was actually rather nice in a bog standard way

It's so nostalgic going through Kings Cross Thameslink and seeing the First Capital Connect poster telling customers about the new station

on the screen, you spelt *Piccadilly* wrong!

Wld be useful to have a walk through video showing us actually where to go in real life ...

Not top secret location now

th-cam.com/video/bM_MwmIUrY8/w-d-xo.html is a great video by the Hidden London team exploring the old tunnels mentioned in this video!

So sustainable that after 16 years it got demolished. Gotta love greenwich council 🤦‍♂️

When that saindbury's opened it was so awe inspiring for me as a child (and the cinema). It was better than the dreary sainsbury's in Woolwich, I don't know who designed that one, it's so awful. I miss the memories of running for my life to get the bus home after shopping with my mum, before life got so awful for no good reason. (cancer mate, my mum told me in the platform level of north greenwich, the best place to tell your child).

A simple rule of thumb is to follow the signs to 'Euston Road', i.e. the old ticket hall, instead of 'Regent's Canal' which goes to the new one. It's a darned shame they've closed the Pentonville Road exit though, that was fabulously quick for the Victoria line.

I do miss this store. I would shop there every Sunday with my family. We would all get Starbucks and sit and relax after the shopping. The woman in the meat deli counter would always give me a free slice of ham to walk around with. Heck I was there all the time. After the cinema at night? Straight to Sainsbury's! Literally diagnosed with cancer? Straight down to the Sainsbury's with my family. There's just something about how beautiful the building was, it just made it an absolute joy to be in! When im in Ikea, I do think back and I do really miss it :(

How does the Waterloo & City line connect? I don't see it in your video.

You sound so much like jago Hazzard wtf

Finally! A clear explanation of what the hell the City Widened Lines are and why they were built. Many thanks.

I don't care that much about the story but I'll watch anything explained with cool graphics on a map. Really well done.

Excellent video as ALWAYS! keep them coming legend!

Great Narration! Truly depressing ending 😂

Imagine if Sainsbury’s brought Ikea. I have been to Ikea at Thurrock Lakeside and Tottenham.

Can I just briefly please make a shout-out for the concept of the "principle", the definition of which inheres in immutability. A principle is something one adheres to, or seeks justification for. It is not something (dear Sainsbury's) that you ditch the next day, because gosh, here is suddenly the antiprinciple. That only implies (thought through) that the anti-antiprinciple is just round the corner. Thereby would principles as such (acc. to Sainsbury's) be worthless. If that is so, we can also ditch common law, which is founded not in codified (Napoleonic) definitions, but in unspoken and thus construable principles (case law). Here, just as a reminder, the principle remains unaltered, and the method for its realisation is subject to jurisdiction (Rechtsprechung).

LOL.

Sustainable but didn't even last twenty years. Sad

This is really sad actually. This store was built to last (presumably) and then bulldozed because capitalism

I bought my blahaj from that Sainsbury's

"Opened by Jamie Oliver" - no wonder it didn't last! 😂

Love it... But please slow down with your talking.

Just used this fabulous new link at Bank from Central to Northern. Thank you for your 3D explaining what's going on there!
