Stunning.Thick black smoke and mile upon mile of chimneys.Sadly people were just as rude then as they are now.Pushing and shoveling and shouting and swearing was rife.Oh and yes I loved the video.Well done.
I'm glad I've found these. I really like google map walking/looking and it's great to see a reconstruction of what an area might have looked like in a previous era (although I swear I saw St Paul's or The Old Bailey in the Victoria area!)
My GG Grandad moved with his family from cornwall to the North East sometime in the 1860s I wondered what form of transport there would have been then thanks very interesting video.
It has to be impossible to produce this even with today’s technology, so I guess I must be dreaming! The most amazing creation in the history of television!
These videos are extraordinary. Also to think of the rapid expansion of railways in the mid Victorian era. All hand-built, tunnels, embankments, the railways superstructure. No mechanised machinery, except what could be steam driven. How did they do it?
I agree. It's a fine, educational use of gaming style graphics. Perhaps it should be shown in schools. Moving history in a format youngsters can associate with.
Isn't the train travelling on the wrong side? should be driving on the left, like today, this one was travelling on the right. Still great video and excellent detail.
You think the people who created this game, would get the train right, it's on the wrong side, engine whistle is too deep, and the coaches are American in design. And PLEASE, not everyone in London talks with a bloody cockney accent, a bad Mary Poppins one at that!
Right, so the train sets off from Charing Cross station on the London Chatham railway. Then, it pulls into a station on the South Bank that has never existed. Then crosses the Thames again on a railway bridge that doesn't exist, which appears to be next to Lambeth Bridge 😂. It is all wrong. This London never existed.

London Brighton & South Coast Railway locomotives did not have American whistles. And where is the fireman?
Exactly where is the fireman? Also no signals faced the direction of the train?
A bizarre video?
I love watching. I will watch again. Thank you.

Thank you for sharing.
I'm with Eurocub on this one - chill and enjoy. It's more immersive than a painting or sketch of the same period, despite the inaccuracies.

I adore these wonderful views of a past age.
It's not real.
To me the trains whistle sound ONLY like an American steam train, other wise this is fascintating watching the scenery, clothes infra structure.
Yes, it was very jarring.
Its more comfortable travelling inside.
AMAZING 🤩 PERFECT AFTER WORK WALK-

Irish navvies on next to no pay.
And yet, despite that, construction always seemed to happen at a much quicker pace, I wonder why that is...
@@TrainBusFan06 archeological research and legal complications slows everything down a lot. none of that back then.
11:24 I cannot believe this guy would
ignore the woman crying out for help!
Health and Safety laws in 1868 were spot on!
How do they do these it’s beyond me incredible work

Train whistler's wrong for the London and Brighton S C Railway 🙄🧐
@@strongbow4413 I think that route would be the GWR from Paddington. Artistic licence !😄

@@mutley23able you re right but didn't say because it's made the American way!!!😄
He seems to have misunderstood the term 'riding "on" a train'
This character would have been quickly put in charge with that behaviour!
Ok, they need to get the travel details right, otherwise it pulls me in like it's supposed to
grande 💐💐🙏🙏🌺
Pushing people out of the way is very rude..
As a rule
@@thejoin4687 I suppose that's what assassins do...
People will do anything to avoid paying a fare! I would sit down if I were you mate. Might be more comfortable.
C'est bizarre que le train circule à droite.
Thats right - it should be on the left.
Who is this? Bill Sykes?
Definitely my idea of Bill Sykes. Besides looking and acting belligerent, he even looks wary and jumpy like he's not on his own patch.
Dress like Sherlock

It’s make believe fun, enjoy it
@@Eurocub Fine, don't call it "London" then.
@@AdrianLee-i7g exactly, you said it: “London”
@@Eurocub Londonish. In another video I spotted St Paul's or the Old Bailey nestling in the Victoria area.
I were there and it twernt nowt like that
did women really dress like that in 1868 ?
