as an Indian who visited UK last year i loved it man its a dream and i only visited for 2 weeks so i have full memories with this picadilly line cuz i stayed in hounslow i miss it so much :( Love UK from India
This brings back fond memories of living in London 2004-2007 (American student studying at King's College London). I rode the Piccadilly line most often. Russell Square was my local tube station. On many a Saturday I would take the Piccadilly line out to Hatton Cross, get off there, and go plane spotting at Heathrow (a favourite spot for that was Myrtle Avenue). On weekdays I would take Piccadilly to King's Cross-St. Pancras and change to Northern to go to London Bridge for my classes at the Guy's Hospital campus of KCL.
Same here. I have lived only a year in London as an intern. Despite a quite reasonable intern salary ... boy have I burned savings. Absolutely worth it. The voice of the announcement instantly takes me back there :-)
i visited london last year and i had the luck of getting an oyster card. the underground was absolutely my favorite part of the whole trip. y’all did a wonderful job on the public transportation. props
a couple of fond memories in here. we lived in arnos grove in the early 1960's. just as you were coming into the arnos grove station, i could pick out the tennis courts of arnos grove park where my parents used to play tennis. there was even a public toilet under the viaduct for the park. it was literally a "spend a penny" back in those days! we lived just a few houses away from the park with the viaduct visible from our back garden
I was just there in the beginning of September 2022. Been to London many times. It can get pretty warm down there even in the fall. I really enjoy the Underground.
At 1:05:31 if you look closely there are some platforms. That used to be a tube station but I think shutted in the 1930s or 50s. It was called Osterley & Spring Grove i think.
My great grandfather who was a Jew from Poland moved here in 1898 and used York Road it was his local station from 1920 till its closure in 1932. I have a picture of the platforms he took on its final day open he was sad the family moved to the east end soon after. You can see the sign on wall clearly saying this station to close permanently from Monday.
I recalled when I rode the Piccadilly Line to Heathrow back in the early 1980s, the Heathrow Terminals 1, 2 and 3 station used to be called Heathrow Central when it was the only station serving the airport. Terminals 4 and 5 were nonexistent back then. While this message may be a few years late and if you haven't started driving and purchased a car already, that decision is entirely up to you. If you have that desire to drive, then please do so.

The best video of the Piccadilly Line train from Cockfosters - Heathrow airport about to watch with a minute on my other tablet device which is a tablet
I recently travelled to a Chelsea match from Oakwood to Earls court. What i noticed on the return journey was the girls who got on at Knightsbridge was their posh accents, nice clothing and gorgeous looks. When you reach Manor House, the dregs get on with their dirty clothes and unkempt hair! lol
Longest tube ride ever 😩. I used to live nearby and regularly did the Arnos Grove to Heathrow journey several times. Grab a good book, sit back relax and await the crush of tourists at Kensington/Hyde Park areas. Also beware of fellow Heathrow travellers at Acton Town who all pile on with their suitcases!
Amazing how long the journey takes from KCSP to Russell Square when you consider that you can walk it in about 10 minutes. The train must be going a lot slower than it sounds!
that's true what it said on the Discription of it, even I took time to write on clean black white paper the announcements on the Piccadilly Line train going from Cockfosters to Heathrow airport & Uxbridge branch
Tfl's logic is kinda dumb coz what's the point of making South Ealing Station and Northfields station when there like 30 seconds apart from each other.

man I love piccadilly line this is my childhood underground line.
Same here. As a child my nearest station was Hounslow East. Brought back good memories watching this. Thanks
My old man use to work at Manor House. Use to take me for train ride. Piccadilly air brake sound brings back memories
Same here, i used to get it from hatton cross to hammersmith
Same
Mine was the northern line 🖤
Love Piccadilly line and great connections to landmarks
My favourite underground line without doubt. Piccadilly takes you through the heart of West End and through to West London
Its ugly it will be more better when it gets ntcls
the voice of the announcement reminds me dearly of my memories in London.
Same here. I have lived only a year in London as an intern. Despite a quite reasonable intern salary ... boy have I burned savings. Absolutely worth it. The voice of the announcement instantly takes me back there :-)
Wait...I think it’s the same voice as in avaya ip office English uk mode

wow! that just shows u how massive is Heathrow airport. from terminal 123-5 it takes 4 MINUTES!!! by train from
1:19:40 - 1:23:40
But if we knew how fast the train was going in the tunnel we could work out how long the tunnel is.
I don't know what your talking about

That's correct.. It's old osterly now
Yes the old station building is still there, it's been a book shop for a long time..
You DON'T need to look close its obvious
@@livelaughlove8355 is mid
Great video! Reminds me of when I was a kid in London. Yes, learn to drive. It's a skill everyone should have.
Reminded me of the 4 years in which I travelled to the UK for medical purposes for 2 weeks. Manor House was my local station. I miss this train.

When I come to London I usually go on this line King's cross st Pancras to Leicester square love the Piccadilly line never get a seat though
I like this video on Piccadilly line from Cockfoster to Heathrow Terminals 1,2,3 and 5

I watched this before i went to London. It was extremely helpful. Many thanks.
Joe Bramley rode on the DLR and now he feels epic
I love hearing Joanna Lumley's voice on the Piccadilly Line announcements.
Not Joanna Lumley, it’s Julie Berry th-cam.com/video/m-ddu9_44f4/w-d-xo.html
Enjoyed your video! I haven't toured London in nearly 20 years and I would love to go back..........
I hope this will help me on my first visit to London
The tube in London is absolute peanuts!
I visited London this year end of March and i'ts is one of the best piece of public travel ever!
Heathrow, man! One of my favourite airport in the UK.
My fave is Gatwick

I have watch Piccadilly line on full journey from Cockfosters - Uxbridge branch video around January 2013 on the laptop device
Really enjoy this video 👌 Keep doing it!
My son loves trains I subscribed and put my notifications on
I love the LU journeys

Might be taking this route in December to Terminal 4! So excited!!!!!!
What a legend.
If you go to 59:52 you’ll see that the cab door of the train is open
25:41 during the King’s Cross bound from Caledonian Road u can see York road
Amazing how long the journey takes from KCSP to Russell Square when you consider that you can walk it in about 10 minutes. The train must be going a lot slower than it sounds!
There are many stations a 2 minute walk from each other but they are on different lines. it's just the way the system has evolved..
Teacher: Where do you live?
Me: Cockfosters
Teacher:
EXCUSE ME YOUNG MAN?
But really, they wouldn’t do that.
Why didn’t they said please stand clear of the closing doors on the Piccadilly Line it’s the most important thing
that's true what it said on the Discription of it, even I took time to write on clean black white paper the announcements on the Piccadilly Line train going from Cockfosters to Heathrow airport & Uxbridge branch
Harrowing journey I have to take every other day...Hounslow Central to Finsbury Park
Great video! 👍
If we are staying at Terminal 4 would it be best to get off at 5 or 1,2,3 and then get a transfer?
I think certain trains still go to Terminal 4. They go to Terminal 4 every 10 minutes and to Terminal 5 via 2 and 3 every other 10 minutes.

Northfields used to be on the District line many years ago like Chiswick Park -Raverscourt Park..
Kelvin Nsele yeah I know
Thanks

u can run
I think Arsenal is called Gillespie Road.
*Because the station signs say Gillespie Road*
It used to be called that
You've done well. Well done X2K9
well done for filming all of that!!
How come the train doors closed at Terminal 5? Was the trian going to park on into the tunnels?

x2k9 can you post another journey to Piccadilly line to Northfields and Arno's Grove
South Kensington (closed until spring 2022)
44:46 lol "platform closed"
17 seconds between covent garden & Leicester Square
At 8:51 for how long did it stop
Will you do videos for Crossrail?
William Luker U mean in the future Duuuhhhhhhh
Galaxy TechnoBeats absolutely
I counted 5s between Covent Garden and Leicester Square
Im watching with 73% battery lmao
41:35-41:45 Brompton Road station I think.
Can you do a full Journey on Heathrow express later on?
26:54-27:04 That could be York Road station.
Why is Leicester square and Covent garden so close
1:14:15 why does it go into the open and back into a tunnel?
Beacuse there was obviasly some hard gravel, stone or rock or whatever in the ground that they found hard to dig through, or they made a mistake in digging
Because it is passing over the River Crane, as opposed to tunnelling under it.
I always get off at picadilly circus to get to Tokyotoys anime store and Japan centre store near china town
x2k9 can you go on the Journey on the Metropolitan Watford to baker Street
When are these trains being replaced? I hope not soon. I'm already missing them. :'(
in the 2020's
yhh l like the 1973 stocks too
And Down street Is between Holborn and Covent Garden I think
green park and hyde park corner :)
Gloucester road (OPEN)
It would be nice for some new northern or Jubilee line videos
Actually x2k9 has done the Mill Hill East shuttle
The full journey from Mill Hill East to Morden is in peaks and x2k9 hates it
good video but a down side is the adverts every 10 or so minutes
1:20:20 ready
I wonder if Gloucester Road Station will reopen
Ricki H it's been reopened for a long time
I love this route on the piccadilly line but i dont understand why this line is always so used
I think it's partially due to the fact that the line serves Heathrow Airport
and to think that used to be an old sewerage farm...Terminal 5
