This looks like its going to be a very interesting series, I have just found it (December 2023) three years after the pandemic struck. So here`s to the rest of series!
Loved this - now to start watching all the others .... 👍
I found this via Secrets of the London Underground TV series and then found Siddy on some TH-cam content. Now I have come back in time to find episode 1. Thanks for all the great content.
Fabulous! So interesting; the best thing to come out of self isolation - every cloud has a silver lining. I look forward to the next episode.
Great pilot episode! Looking forward to the next one already. Alex is such a knowledgeable presenter.
N1CK you’re so kind. I have loved the London Underground for too many years and I’m an unashamed fan. Geek rather than anorak!
Loved it, it was so interesting, I'll definitely pay more attention to those hidden signs when travelling down there again. Can't wait for the next episode!
J-P Boriau thank you so much for your support
Just discovered this wonderful channel. Decided to start watching from the beginning of your hangouts.
Delightful. I wanted to take hidden London tours when I was in London in December-no luck because of the holidays. But the exhibition was fab, I adored the museum, and I’ll see you on the other side of this for the real tours when I can come back. Thank you for this.
Next time you’re in London, give us a shout. We’ll join you for a cocktail in the LT museum cafe. I highly recommend the “Routemaster”...
I've actually been to aldwych station in may 2023. It was such a great tour learning about the station, you even get to wonder around platforms! Well worth it!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Been admiring your Johnson from here … how did I miss that first time I watched this all that time ago 😂
i was at that 2010 aldwych event! started me off on my interest in visiting former stations! Just did the zoom tour of Brompton. Keep up the work! love them!
Thanks for answering my Aldwych question! Really enjoyed watching this ... roll on episode 2!
John Gelson total pleasure! Thanks for being part of our very first Hangout!
Ohh wow, superb information to satisfy any amount of geekage here. Thank you for the input, guys. I'll be watching out for further episodes! 😃
tarquin12 we hope you’re enjoying the journey as much as we are!
Showing my age but I remember Strand Northern line, Trafalgar Square Bakerloo, and Charing Cross Circle, District, Northern and Bakerloo lines. This was back in the late 1950's.
Alan Rookard age is just a number!
Fascinating. Aldwych is amazing.
I'm a public transit maniac, thanks for this! Can't wait to travel to London some day and ride the Tube!
Ohh that was great. Love the presenting skills Alex and everyone's enthusiasm.
You are so lovely! Enjoy the rest of the episodes xx
Very great and interesting facts about Aldwych Station
What a great podcast. I thoroughly enjoyed this! Thank you.
Excellent! Looking forward to more.
I've watched the most recent dozen or so episodes (as at Dev 2021) --- need to see how the gang has gelled, the dynamics have evolved into an actually superb content --- and the SOUND QUALITY improved no end. As with all of us getting used to Zoom-normal, we've learned how to present an interesting backdrop. Bless you guys!
Thanks Team. A great video. I'm totally in awe of Chris' garden shed, btw. 😍 Great info, and I look forward to many more. I'm on the other side of the world, but totally in love with the Tube, with LTM and the work you do. Cheers.
Michael Gask we love you!
@@alexgrundon2346 Thanks so much, Alex... Take care and stay safe.
Hi. Started watching with the Elizabeth Line series - thought I’d go back to the beginning. Fantastic first episode… looking forward to catching up with all the others. Thanks so much to all involved.

If you are introducing people to Leslie Green stations: Aldwych and Mornington Crescent. Aldwych still keeping the OE Otis lifts, albeit locked in place with thick steel beams.
Apart from the low usage one of the closure reasons was the state of the lifts. Nowadays there's the requirement of level access for wheelchairs. Aldwych is best
The Wm Holden stations just look fantastic. I love Art Deco. I watch a Tube driver's videos on the Piccadilly line. The approach to a station at night with the ticket-hall windows lit up.... Magnificent.
Great video. Top Job 👍👍👍
Very interesting. Keep up the good work.
Thank you for year videos! Greetings to Chris, it was a great tour of Charing Cross on 02/23/2020, thank you very much! Greetings from germany :)
This is great 👍 - thanks 😊
Aldwych is a great location and fantastic tour. And unless I am mistaken there are parts that were not finished even before the station opened.
unittaskforce Bingo! Well done
This is my kind of hangout.
Christina Relf come and hangout with us every week !
Really interesting guys!
These are great ...watching from across pond and yes please to a hangout on Moquette (not that I too have a problem
stig roo Thank you!!! Join with me and help me campaign for a moquette special!!!
Very nice.
Well done for the great work!
Is it true that the Aldwich Branch of the Piccadilly Line was once proposed to go to Carshalton in Surrey? (London Borough of Sutton)
I saw a Aldwich Video once where the tour guide said this?! It would have been great if it had!
Well.... it was slated to go south. Waterloo was definite. Further than that will probably be popular folklore. The Piccadilly line is an amalgam of little private companies’ railways. I feel sorry for Aldwych. One big missed opportunity. But we have a beaut time capsule to enjoy. Enjoy the other episodes, yeah? X
I spent a fortune on Moquette cushions last Christmas, I thought I was the only geek in the land with a love of it (and it's true, cats also love them!)...and did the Clapham shelter tour - exceptional, beautiful, haunting...LTM shopped till I dropped, Seat of London and Hidden London my night time reading, finally finished the latter last night and was overjoyed to say the least to find these videos here, they are superb, already watched four back to back tonight! Love these! x
I was very fortunate to have visit this station on the last day of service on Friday 30th September 1994 by that time the was only opened Mon - Fri rush hour only.
very informative :)
Would they consider selling the tiles in the cupboard individually? I’d pay a fortune for one of those. Pieces of history.💗💗💗💗
It’s a glorious cupboard! Far prettier than my broom cupboard x
WHERE IT ALL BEGAN ❤️❤️❤️
Re the Jubilee line plans connecting at Aldwych: Aren't there now plans, to possibly extend the DLR to the Jubilee platforms at Charing Cross? And if so: would, could or might that include an intermediate station at Aldwych?
That's the station where The Kinks filmed "do it again" video at.
Heart of the Angel is a great show. The staff must've been so low in morale that you felt for them. Once it got upgraded, I'd love to know if any of them stayed there
Additional episode on Aldwych in series 2 with amazing new footage: th-cam.com/video/J6QYMaPgZys/w-d-xo.html
