- What happens when the unavoidable happens causing disruption to the thousands of people trying to make their daily commute? In this episode, we see how the London Underground staff handle pressure when things are getting hectic.
For the first time in its history, London Underground has opened its doors to record the day-to-day life of its 16,500 staff who work across a network of 275 stations and 507 trains running on over 300 miles of track. Every year more than one billion people use The Tube that's 3 million journeys a day; commuters, holiday-makers, day-trippers, businessmen and women, students, overseas visitors.
This series goes behind the scenes to tell the story of some of the dedicated and colourful characters who work for LU, doing a difficult job under often challenging and stressful circumstances.

19:50 meanwhile Mandy is trying to get 5000 goths safely home 😂😂
21:55
2 people casually walking down into the station
Announcer: *The last train has departed from the station.
**turns and leaves**
*fuck dis shit I'm out*
😂😂
Haha yeah, I was about to post about that too, but you beat me to it by half a year, lol :)
I had to check I want the only 1 who seen this... These damn smart tannoys!..🤣
What u mean
It’s strange seeing adverts for the iPod on the walls of the tube considering how far we’ve come technology wise. And just confirm I am aware this was filmed in 2005.
thats because the show was recoded over 15 years ago.
@@haroldofcardboard He said he knows.
@@epicdumbgaming8943 then why did he ask?
@@haroldofcardboard He did not there is no question mark.
@@haroldofcardboard I don’t see any Questions in his comment
Please show me where?
If Frenchy is still working for the Underground, he will be celebrating his 40th anniversary this year!
Given this documentary is about 15 years+ ago, I very much doubt it.
With all the stations closing the ticket offices I assume alot of these people were made redundant.
Actually his 39th as few clips show this was recorded 2005. He was also 43 years old as he started the job at 18 so it is possible he may work there still although maybe unlikely.
He might of died in 7/7
@@sebby324 no station staff were killed on 7/7
Frency Thankyou for your service Sir. You guided my husband and I when we arrived in London to work. So please accept our true thanks. My husband was in the met police and I worked GCHQ. Coming from a small Manchester village it was like another world.
With love from elle x
21:55 listen to the announcement and look on the left 😹😹😹
lol
"and every day something new might happen"
_meanwhile on the left..._
Kyon the Brigader “the last train has departed from the station” turn and go back
Mind the gap, I love that announcement. I wish the NYC Subway here had that
Right! We say, “watch the gap”, which sounds strange to me. What am I watching for the gap to do?
To not trap something like your foot between it.
We only say it here because the train people are afraid of being sued if some one does get trapped in it.
Avery the Cuban-American me too, that’s one of the things I love about the tube
@@cynterslave it is mind the gap
The employee from Leicester really adopted a London accent!
Fair Play to Monti for his calmness with people he deserves a medal 🥇
Omg, thank god they stil, upload this
What
THIS IS BAD
So baaaaaaaaaaaad
@@petrisormarin6867 no
15:22 really dates this video. A brand-new PSP.
P0G II
Amazing quality for being filmed in 2005.
Think of the episodes about the 7/7 bombings
What, did you think they filmed with potatoes in 2005!?
Amazing 2005 for beibg filmed in quality
@@rattlesnake2345 Quality in being filmed for amazing 2005
cameras were already good in 2005, its just that at that time internet speed was slow AF, so they had to compress it like crazy so it looked crap
Feel for that poor guy and his lost psp :(
That part really hurt me too...
People take valuable items before handing stuff in sometimes I guess
@@jamiefenner123 Or more likely, one person steals the goodies and then leaves it for someone else to hand in.
Yeah they nicked his psp and left his Wallet.
@Wagon Answon It's a Playstation Portable. Man they were all the rave back in the mid 2000s. I loved mine.
Was so wholesome seeing Frenchy receive his award
6:59 something makes this more satisfying the fact that she has an American accent. Ahahahahaha
At 7:16, her accent sounds American. Really great representation for our country.....
London is stuffed to the gills with scam artists from all corners. She does'nt represent the decent US visitors who come here. Its just the way it is, sadly.
No she sounds like she’s from a non English speaking country
Don't worry, were used to it
I think that's the cleanest Tube trainset I've ever seen at 2:52.
8:05 this policeman as a lovely manner. Good job.
I'm really sorry for the American who gave that officer a hard time. We're not all like that, I swear.
If you understand basic law you would now the officer has no power at all to do anything she has not committed a crime
@@FattyOn2Wheels weird...
"Fare evasion is a criminal offence and you may be prosecuted. If convicted, you will: Get a criminal record. Pay a fine of up to £1,000."
From TFLs own website. So try not to spread misinformation.
At 11:30 ?
Given whats come out in the past few years about yall having meltdowns in public, I beg to differ
I'm from America, can verify we have people like that.
Man I love this series!
frenchy said he wanted to see the world when he was young, i did as well and applied for a job on the underground but i realised i would see london so i joined the royal navy and saw it.
time flies, no doubt. kids get lots of advice from parents and adults, but one honest piece of advice i always try to give, is to enjoy yourself. I worked through 6th grade until now & i missed a lot of opportunities. I wouldnt change it, but enjoying yourself is one thing you cant re-do. You dont want to live like tomorrow is the end of the world, but you also dont want to live like you'll have fun tomorrow either. Next thing i knew, id been working since 1990, & now its 2019 :(
I’m soooo happy this is on here please do more
YES PLEASE
yay my fav shows back!
Big up Richie - what a lad
If you pause the video at 3:17 you will see this episode was filmed 6 days before 7/7.
7:22 lmaoo frenchy was like ksksks
Finally, recognition of other cities
13:22 Melman be vibin'
I'm nervous!
3:08 Did anyone else hear that UGHHH?
thats me on a monday
1 sick day in 25 years is seriously good going. I know people that have taken 2 or 3 sick days in their first week.
Y is this on my recommended when this was made in 2005 and now is 2019😂
Because Spark has recently purchased the programme rights and uploaded in 2019.
Press F for that guy's PSP.
The suspect asked the price of a weekly ticket.
Then went into convulsions
The effects of simply forgetting a bag at a station.. wow
12:40 Escalator 2 at Brixton is out of service.
When I was in London , I used Victoria line and my host lived not far from Brixton station.
Monty is ruthless
Its a bit of joke, now underground has 3 times less staff and is 10 times more crowded
Not actually true, but OK.
fare dodgers are costing the innocent people higher fares....
I don't pay a penny in fares, but I'm no fare Dodger - how(?)
fare dodgers = higher fares = more fare dodgers = higher fares = even more fare dodgers and so on
mandy try to get fine 5000 when she back savety home haha😂😂
14:36 Sick Boy !!!
“It’s shite being Scottish”.
I can’t believe they shut down an entire platform AND consider it a crime scene! In NYC, we would just step around the emergency crews helping and it would be business as usual except for maybe a 10 foot radius around the guy.
I’m not exactly sure why they considered it a crime scene however I believe it maybe due to the type of drug he had consumed and the effects it had on his body at that time.
cynterslave true true
my guy was having a sezuire on the floor where he could harm other people/ become violent/ die i think it was justified
There you can see how fucked up murrica is, when a drug-junkie is tham much common. Seriously, that is nothing I would be proud of...
Monty is a legend
That’s my name
best to remain him calm
How do you forget your surfboard?
4:25 everyone rubbernecking at the paramedics and police - some things haven't changed in 15 years
There is actually a more mellow side to working on London Transport, especially in the Lost Property section.
Same situation here in Vancouver,Canada lot of fare evaders.
Hey buddy..🇨🇦👍🏻and another 375 million from central to Langley
The music's pretty good...
Victoria line be like…😂
Frenchy started in 1979 and he got a award for 25 years service with only one sickness, this episode must of been filmed around 2004/2005 . QUICK MATHS lol
2005 and i believe 26th of May according to some calendars and CCTV I can see on the video (makes the whole bomb scare thing even more eerie considering how close this was filmed to 7/7)
Edit: was filmed over multiple days i saw another cctv screen showing 04/07/05 (yikes only 3 days before)
gerard burton frenchy and Jackie both died in 7/7 I think but I’m not certain
22:16 doesn’t fill me with a lot of confidence
Edit: saw the following episode, turns out the women has some form of mental (disorder/thing dunno) and now I feel bad.
This is crazy
15:16 You'd be there all day trying on those teeth to find which ones are yours.
I swear I would lose something everyday just do see the staff.
All the CRTs
13:20 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Bro that chaos for fare evading? In my country (Argentina) they don't really care much of fare evading
i feel bad for the guy who lost his pcp to stomach acid
Jamie Wilmot I would be pissed if I lost my pcp but not as pissed as losing my ket
I love my ket
Wait what?!
What's the music at 0:04
You tell people to trip the gap
20:46 King's Cross...
whats the intro song called
Re lost property, I would hope that by now the inventory is computerized and not kept track of by handwritten tags and lists.
Apparently the police no longer take lost property.
It's been 15 years so I think so
@@richardbool4232 Even when they did only kept what was handed in for about 2 weeks
10:34 indicates part of this episode was shot in late May 2005, only six weeks before the 7/7 bombings.
I think the cctv on the underground is the best in the whole world, even today.
Omg is that man ok what happend
I don’t see ticket booths in the underground anymore.
This was 2005
why are there oyster pads but no one used oysters. I know oyster got introduced in 2004 but idk when it was filmed
It was 2005 as you can see it on the control panel window.
2005 7:50
Frenchy started in 1979 and he got a award for 25 years service with only one sickness, this episode must of been filmed around 2004/2005 . QUICK MATHS lol
Lii Ray one sickness..
I just got back to the states from London. I used the Hammersmith tube; I love it. However, I did not see staff in blue uniform. I wonder if they were eliminated.
this is from 2005
That was their old uniform in the 2000s. They got a different uniform in 2014/2015
Hammersmith tube station*
Why keep the platform closed as a “crime scene”, if any crime, ie swallowing drugs, happened outside the station, so how can it possibly be classed as a crime scene, based on that logic the whole station should be closed!!!!.
I know how Frenchy feels about how time flies, tomorrow 02/10/2019 it will be 40 years since I joined the United Kingdom Military, and it seems like yesterday, the memories of those years are still fresh and vivid, even the bad bits, best job I ever had.
Those people caught fair evading seem to think it’s a “victimless “ crime, but in reality the victims are the other public transport users who end up paying higher fares to cover the cost of them travelling for free, and the police having to deal with people like the first woman who refused to co-operate with the station staff and initially the police, who could have been better employed, maybe helping to avoid a terrorist attack, and in the process saving lives. And that guy smoking on the escalators is obviously to young to remember the kings Cross fire that killed a lot of people, and one theory is that it was started by a carelessly discarded lit cigarette, or maybe he is just to stupid and selfish to care why smoking is banned on the tube.
It was being treated as a crime scene because they were unsure if he was going to die. If he’d have died then the police would have to treat the area as a crime scene, they’d have to prove that it wasn’t their actions that contributed to the death (e.g them wrestling him to the ground)
I think you have an excellent point sir..! The foul mouth remark is just representative of the me generation. It’s all about “me”. Kids are disrespectful and downright stupid these days. Need the strap. And I’m young’ish 🇨🇦🇨🇦
Lol
The police chase a man in Brixton Station From a Emergency alarm from the Victoria Line, and Victoria Line trains many delays as running late from the Victoria Line
11:23 a great example of not helping those in need.
From Brixton to Borough he could just get a 133 or 35
That box of dentures is absolutely rank 🤮🤮🤮
If you try to to dodge a fare on the New York City Subway, police will be on you before you know it.
Do use the British government as a role model unless it is for 'how to muck up'
5000 Goths, none of them are conforming
21:59 the last train has departed from this station
The 2 women at the side: for fks sake 🙄
Record in 2005?
Bombay documentary
Hold up if this is the victoria line why isn’t the 2009 stock on the line why is it the Piccadilly line stock?
its the 1967 stock which was stopped being in service in the early 2010s (i think 2011)
@13:36 - a "Tartan Blazer" ?? Noo, that is a herringbone jacket, a tartan blazer would be checked in different shades, of red/green/yellow FFS
Isn’t this how it is with this type of transportation. What do you expect. It’s a cheap form of public travel. It don’t look like a pleasant way to travel to me.
Leicester? I Am From Leicster!
Estatia Animate How far apart are Leicester and Leicster? Lol.
Shut Up
Estatia Animate. So you’re not English then.
if you pause it at 2:54 you can see the camera man
Jonathan kydd narrates this series 🚌 and hes the son of actor the late Sam kydd
Really don’t care

What if someone makes a hoax call for a laff
7:50 oh god it’s a Karen….
Studies have found that teens who do not like or use their clans as clans or clans while young people in Kismayu are operating under different attitudes since the collapse of the central government in Somalia and there are some who are shocked but surprised. You must understand everything about being killed by a single family or walking by example based on books written in Eastleigh eg the struggle of camels and the success of books written by men taking the names of Somali families in Arabic. This has led to a three-day and three-night stay away from people exposed to water or food poisoning, a habit that began after 2006 and no longer exists in the rest of the world. Somali and Regional youth should be re-examined to save the population while some government officials who have ties with the Somali authorities and some embassies, such as pens and paper, should be secondarily, make sure that the clan or group or language of the colony it is over so that the families of Somali families can become part of the peace and tranquility of the country. changes from the current language and language system and social groups to massacre Somali families from ccd Nairobi 2/38
The narrator has definitely gone through puberty...
damn he swallowed drugs and didn’t get pushed onto the tracks and instructed a driver to run him over?
