Very relaxing. Much better watching this than being a passenger on the underground. It's fascinating to see everything from the driver's perspective. 👍🏻
The building north of Parsons Green station to the left of the tracks at 12:00 was the former factory where London Transport used to manufacture their enamel station signs and other signs for the Underground.
My line. I live next door to West Brompton. Getting through Earl's Court can be real fun sometimes, especially when two eastbound trains arrive there simultaneously and you try to guess which one will be the first to depart. I have a 50% success rate.
What side left or right
Try checking the signals if you can! Takes out a lot of the guesswork 😉
One foul night, I missed my connection to Olympia where I lived from Clapham and was told by the station manager to hoof it and he would tell any loco's running down to Willesden to pick me up... needless to say every loco despite flashing me bardic lamp just went past me, I ended up falling just where W Brompton stood alongside the BR line and got a spike through me leg, the weather was atrocious and crossing Latchmere bridge during driving rain and high winds was a terrible terrible time for me made worse being on earlies next morning and got to Olympia around 2am :(
Nice video! Thanks for not adding music, so we can hear the hum of the motors and the squeal of wheels against tracks.
However, I would have liked a text on the screen showing which station the train is arriving at.
Some videos they have to put music on at all costs. Worst one ever was an Australian one covering a classic truck and they play rock music over the top as they're driving!! Sometimes I want to escape thre rampant mediocrity in this country (Australia).
@@jamesfrench7299 Oh, I'm sure Australia isn't that bad.
@@eswnl1 That's the thing, it's not bad bad, it's mediocre. Mediocrity can be almost worse as nothing gets done to improve it.
5:08 cracking open a cold one
So true
5:08
I like time-stamps accurate ^^
wow. nice & clean of the putley's bridge station without track switching. this is Jay speaking, and I'm from NYC.
At 14:02 we pass the western side of Chelsea Football Club's Stamford Bridge stadium. At 15:10 on the northern ends of the platforms at West Brompton are three lovely station signs dating from the 1920s with the rare 'x' in the letter W for the 'West Brompton' station name. All the other signs are in the standard Johnston font without the 'x' in the letter W.
Great video and one that has fond memories for me as I lived and grew up in Wimbledon between 1975 and 1994 so I have fond memories of travelling on the District Line with my parents on the CO/CP stock, R stock, C stock and D stock and more recently on the S stock. I have also been fortunate to have to cab rides in a D stock between Wimbledon and Earl's Court (both authorised) in 2001 and 2014 as well as having an authorised cab ride in a train of S stock between Earl's Court and Wimbledon in 2018. Keep up the good work. :-)
Thanks man.
Most enjoyable journey not wanting it to end 👌.
best underground cab ride I watched so far the train has fore lights on so we can see where the track goes, great job thx
To think that up until 1st April 1994 the British Rail Southern Region owned and maintained the track from Wimbledon right up until the north end of Putney Railway Bridge before London Underground purchased this section of the line from British Rail for the princely sum of £1, along with the Waterloo & City Line as part of the same deal.
Network Rail still maintain the track and operate the signalling on the Wimbledon branch. The only things that were sold to LUL were Wimbledon Park, Southfields, & East Putney stations. Signalling on the branch between p 1 to 4 at Wimbledon & East Putney is controlled from a desk at Wimbledon Signal Centre.
This makes me miss riding the Underground
Very relaxing with no silly music. Thank you.
What Silly music
@@BenTaylor. Usually people who make these kind of videos use music in them.
@@Thesquad291 It’s done As a protection guard for the train driver they may not want their voice heard in the video it’s done as a safeguard and for many other reasons
Enjoyed Watching this Great Video!!
Great video keep it up
Fantastic Vid again sir! (Subscribed) and stay safe!

This is great 👍
The most happy people are the people who live very nearby the tracks ;)
Living nearby a station might be cool, but overlooking the tracks not quite so much. At least the trains are electric and don't spew fumes.
Oh Look , another frigging tube train !
Interesting.
My old route! Wimbledon to Earls Court and then change to the other District Line and on to Turnham Green Chiswick... Every day for three years.. still remember how bad weather could stop the trains... 😂
Nice video,i'm watching this from Stockholm Sweden
Fantastic video really interesting many thanks.
Amazes me how close the trains run behind each other through the tunnels, but then there are ealing richmond wimbledon and circle linecteains usingvthe same tracks in either direction
Dear lord, a train driver talks to passengers instead of a robot :D 😊👍
Robot?
@@YukiGersaniba Couldn't find a better word for a program. Talkbot, maybe.

Great video!! Thanks for the ride!!
4:33 optical illusion - looks like a train's rear end ahead :)
Beautiful! Any chance you could do Ealing Bdwy to Earls Ct?
Would you consider putting up the names of the stations as we go through your wonderful footage? :-)
in futures cab rides yes
Did the trip from Southfields to Earls Court (and return) in 1971. I must confess to be mildly disoriented but did recognize a couple of places.
I miss the old Putney green with that little curved line, that is no longer with us, I remember the platform to Wimbledon was actually a terminus
a duel railway line how interesting
It's a third rail to power the train
It would so help me enjoy the ride if you labeled the stations. I research them as I go. Much more interesting/ educational than just riding through stations that look the same.
great that you got the footage before the signals go away
it was Filmed back in 2017
Very 1980's with the platform shop at Southfields.
I always wonder how the line goes across the District main line eastbound without even a cross. Anyone can answer my question? Does the main line have a bridge over the Wimbledon branch or what
Amazing video! I must ask, is it easier to drive these trains then the deep level trains? As of which the amount of speed your going isn’t much and the slowing down to stop at the marker must be easier then the deep level and also where it looks and seems much easier.
thanks
My late father before his final move to London Bridge power box was at Wimbledon A there with his hobbo Johnny Woods who went on to Victoria, they were fairly horrible to the LT staff looking down their nose a bit at what they considered the "toy" railway. Its weird seeing it still there as most the old Odeon's now gone.
Dankeschön
Lionel train!!
Great video, thanks for sharing. What equipment do you use for your cab ride videos?
The lack of passengers tells me that this is an early-morning run, isn't it? Is this an average run, or does it take longer at peak-passenger times (what we here in North America call 'Rush-Hour')?
Late evening I think. I think the clock on the station at 2:40 says 20:15.
You are correct! (20:15:17 to be precise). Very sharp eyes you have! What would be the cost of such a ride? I'm hoping to get to England some time over the next few years, so I'd like an idea how much Tube fares are, so I can put a sufficient amount on an Oyster card.
From wimbledon to tower hill is £2.80 off peak. I would recommend roughly £12 for each day youre in london
It's called the Rush hour in the UK as well :-)

It's good video but should put what stations train stops at
During the editing of this video I did not think to put captions in
Some captions would be useful for those of us who aren't familiar with the line.
Okay
What are the 2 flashing yellow lights for either end at 38.30
Temporary speed restriction.You can see the number 20 after which is the new speef limit.
Thanks for this fine video . enjoyed the ride but it should have be better if shown the station's name as caption while on ride...
What’s the point can’t you hear the announcement in the saloon
@@BenTaylor. My friend, it is fine while on board, but I just watched the video on my laptop and I didn't find any such announcement, Though I had volume 100%. It is okay Thanks for your kind acknowledgement. Not a very big issue, I canrefer underground map...
@@BenTaylor. I can't hear it . Its strangely relaxing to watch, just happened upon your channel . Nice .
It's frustrating not knowing the names of the stations!
Can’t you not hear the announcement in the background
@@BenTaylor. No ... I didn't hear. I'll listen again. Thanks.
@@andrefrancis1 I suppose you could download a copy of the tube map, and just follow it along the line from Wimbledon watching the video.
1:18
35 MPH
*LUL*
*45 MPH*
On leaving each station there is a series of pale blue signes looking about a coach length apart. What is their purpose?
Tells the driver how many cars are out of the station platform.They are from the old trains times and only go as high as 6.The new trains have 7.
Definitely didn't realise they took up the track from the reversing platform at Mansion House...
The reversing siding at Mansion house wasn't long enough for the new trains, so the one at Tower hill was deemed sufficient.
other train goes into hyperdrive at 17:28
Please can the stations be identified as it would make a good video even better
No station names….what a pity for such a good video.
at the time off editing this video I did not think about putting in captions for each station
13:13 which station is it?
Fulham Broadway.
“Underground”
So the track's been lifted from the turnback platform at Mansion House then? was that taken out of use when the S Stock was introduced?
AndreiTupolev yes it was, the bay road is far to small to safely accommodate s stock trains
on this video I see closed platform mansion house 4
Those tunnels are very dark. It looks like it has no lighting.
train lights on the tube are not great
Which station was this at 11.30
Parsons Green
That station is Parson's Green. I know, I used to get off there everyday when going to school. (1969-1970)
11:10 earthquake inside the train
lol
Waste of time. Even a single station could identify throughout the journey
Yeah but some people don’t know every single station on the tube network and not educated enough in future cab rides I will have to list every single station along the route
So the track's been lifted from the turnback platform at Mansion House then? was that taken out of use when the S Stock was introduced?
Yep, too short for the new trains.
