Great vid! @47:xx I kind of think the comentator skated over the Drayton Park transfers going via KX and the widened lines - it was the chance to see the extraordinary sight of diminutive tube stock rubbing shoulders with huge mainline locomotives as they sneaked through KX main line and out via gas works/copenhagen tunnels. The reverse move took the tube stock through York Road, both directions squealing their way through the tortuous "KX Suburban" tunnels under the mainline station to pick up the widenend lines just west of what is now the KX Thameslink station. How I would love to have seen that! Great to see the cross-overs at Farringdon in use.
I remember doing this run when I was about 11 years old in 1961-1962 and it is available to read in my Amazon book called Travelogue - London and the South East by Donald Hedges
It looks like it overran the end of a siding. There was a half unit movement shown, which was probably the section of the other end of the train that had the problem, being shunted back to the depot.
@@trevorelliston1Wow... Oh my god, how such thing to see the sight entire this in my life!.... 😧 Well, what is expected of filming in the history of London Public Transport by U derground services isn't. Pretty excited about this video thought. :)

That may be so but without them there would be no TH-cam and no videos. Which would you prefer?
Not for me. Then again, I have Premium.
