    Just been watching your video for the first time, thoroughly enjoying it. I enjoy cab rides in train videos, it's even better when there is a commentary like the way you have done. Great job. I have subscribed. I live in Newcastle Upon Tyne, and there is Metro train system, i have a channel which i have filmed the Metro journey. Great job mate.

      Dale, I live in Peterlee in County Durham that's on the Durham Coast Line that runs between Newcastle and Middlesbrough, what's unique about the Tyne and Wear Metro is they share the track on the Durham Coast Line between Pelaw and Sunderland. Kim McGuinness, the new North East Mayor wants to run extend the Metro to serve Washington on part of the old Sunderland to Durham line, and the old Leamside Line.

    LOL at the crows who know how to board the train & exit when the chimes ring! Hope you enjoy your time in Australia when you come in a few weeks. We have a vast train network here also, but not as great as the UK lines, nor as busy. Your knowledge of the stations & everything in general is vast. Always a pleasure! Thank you for the (free) rides!

    I’m new to your channel and find it simply fascinating … Back in the early 60s my Grandma lived around the corner from the Old Vic, and whenever we went to stay with her and would say I’m popping out to play. Little did they know I was running round to Waterloo station and jump on the Underground. If mum had known I’m sure she would have given me a good telling off… I spent hours travelling all over the place and jumped on and off at stations now no longer used. The underground has always fascinated me and I often wished I had been a driver. These days I can only watch videos like yours “or’” secrets of the London Underground. Now in my 70’s you have kind of made my dream come true. Thank you so much for sharing your trips, you’ve made me very happy 👍🍻

    In the 60's - 80's I lived in one of those houses on the left after leaving Hounslow Central and in to the 70's you would still see 'lost' District Line trains presumably stopped where you mentioned.
    Never used to really hear the trains but when maintenance was done in the middle of the night that was really noisy! Luckily only one or two nights every few years. Missed the old red trains when they stopped running.
    We would sit in the garden and watch the planes coming in to land. At the time the house was in the middle of two landing flight paths so again the noise was minimal. Saw both Concorde and the Jumbo Jet’s first arrivals in to Heathrow.

    I'm from New York City and for a short while worked for The New York City Transit Authority as a Station Agent. I've always been fascinated with Subway or Metros or Tubes. It's all the same with differing geographic names. Your video is highly informative and in 2010 I had the pleasure to ride that very line from Heathrow into the Center City. I also took the Jubilee Line north to St John's Wood to see The Beatles Abby Rd Studio. I noticed you did have some 4 track express service and your trains seem to run frequently. London has generally a cleaner system than New Yorks but New York has 24 hour service. 😳 How do working class people there get home after a night at the pub!! ??😂 ..😊..I enjoyed watching!!

    The Piccadilly Line was my first experience on the Tube! I took a UK vacation in 2019 and took the Piccadilly line from Terminal 5. As what we Americans call a "rail fan," the Underground is a very different and unique experience. Overall, I loved it and I love these videos.

      I have a sentimental attachment to the Pic due to my frequent touristic visits. The Liz has largely replaced for me, depending on where I am staying. I know the sleep deprived feeling of getting onto the tube and settled, but dang, some people ARE obliviots and I am chuffed ( and not surprised) to hear crows know better

    I went from Rayners Lane to Hatton X (via Acton Town) from when Hatton X opened until around 1981. I worked in what was No2 Maintenance Area - which disappeared when Terminal 4 was built. This trip was pure nostalgia - with a few new bits on the T5 branch.

    Thanks I enjoyed your video. In the early 1970’s I was a ROA on London Transport and had the good fortune of working in the Northfields Signal Cabin. For me it was a fantastic time and I remember visiting the cabin at Boston Manor with a signalman and station master. London Transport was a great place then and I have very fond memories of my time and also the training centre at White City, Peter Ursell being one of the trainers…

    Thanks for doing this line Dale.
    I went on it from Russell Square to Heathrow No 3 in 2012 just before the Olympics and so enjoyed going on the tube train.
    I was supposed to be picked up to and from the airport but my travel agency didn't book it right but the airport staff said my hotel was on this line and I enjoyed the train trip and all this has brought back those memories .
    Much different than our Australian Rail system specially with signaling in NSW where I'm from.

    Wow this brought back many memories! I used to travel from South East London to Heathrow most weekends in the early 2000s with my nephew who was a toddler at the time (He turned 24 today!) - Always got the Picc from Green Park to Heathrow, so nice to see the journey from a different perspective! Don't get to do it these days as I now live in Edinburgh! - Felt the same excitement watching this as I did back then getting closer to Heathrow, with the planes getting lower and closer! Thanks and keep up the good work ;)

    Ah, now that brings back memories. I grew up in Heston between 1959 and 1968 so Hounslow West was the nearest local station. I remember seeing the "new" silver trains (1959/62 stock) coming in and also recall at least once seeing what I now know to have been a Standard Stock train in the station. Of course, back Hounslow West was the terminus of the line though, by the time my family moved away from London, they had just started to build the new tunnels for the extension to Heathrow. Fantastic stuff, many thanks for posting. I keep telling myself to stop subscribing to all these TH-cam channels - I obviously didn't listen to myself after watching this one and subscribed! 🙂

    Loved watching it. I lived in Boston manor and when working in the city would ride the Piccadilly many times. Seen an close call once. As I'm sure you know people pick the best place to stand when getting on the train so they don't have to walk to long along the platform when they exit. Doing this exact thing back in the 1980s standing at the end of the drivers end of the platform. One tube exited the station and before it left a second train entered the station at speed and it just missed the end of the last train. I almost thought I'm going to die. Thank you for the video always liked the idea of the driver's point of view

    I take the Piccadilly almost every day from T5 to Hounslow East (Hounslow garage bus driver) and finally got to see the T5 sidings. A big thank you for that! I always wanted to drive the Underground trains, but there's never any outside jobs advertised. So I guess I'll have to stay on the buses then :)

    This video and the last definitely earned a like and subscribe from me.
    As a fellow railwayman (working on the national rail network) I have to say, your insightful commentary really made it for me.
    You're coverage of the Piccadilly line is making me sincerely hope that you have friends who drive other Underground lines that are willing to film their journeys for you to add your commentary too in future :)

      Thank you. Trying to film other lines is a little more tricky. 1 I don’t know the stocks or lines so would find it that much harder to talk about things. Plus most people don’t want to be seen or heard on camera. However never say never

    I was a young lad in the early 60s and often using a red (buses) or twin rover quite often went using the Piccadilly and District lines to Hounslow West which I believe was slightly relocated for the Heathrow extension. Also remember the two car trains on the Northern City line with their depot at Drayton Park. The NC platforms at Finsbury Park are now the west/southbound platforms for the Piccadilly and Victoria lines.

    No amount of colour information is too small. Those who know the area might think it’s too much, but, we of the colonies cannot get enough.
    I was 35years with NZ railways and we STILL use a lot of your equipment. Great posts, keep them coming. 😊. 👍

    This was a very relaxing video. I might as well share that I've been snuggled up against the cold with a warm blanket and a foster-care baby roo joey I've been taking care of for a few weeks. He approves just as much as I do (well, he tried to lick my phone, at least!)
    Hope ya see some roos out there on your trip down under.

    Thank you for the video. I'll miss the 1973 Stock, and the 1972 Stock, I prefer the basic and simple design of them, and they won't require software updates. My other favourite stock is the 1992 Stock, if you sit opposite the windows in the tunnels, or at night, the bend in the window makes it look like you have two heads.

    Very nice Cab View M8! I love the underground stuff and the awesome commentary that you add to it! I live in Waterville, Maine USA. If I want to experience underground railways I would have to travel 300 miles SE to Boston, Massachusetts and rider the Green Blue or Red Subway trains! Keep the great 4K Vids coming and I will keep watching!!!!

    Found your channel on the first part of this video from Cockfosters to Northfields. Find your commentary useful, interesting and informative. Enjoyed watching it a lot more than i imagined i would. Also pleased to hear you mention the new trains especially as i am from Goole where the new ones are currently being built. All the best and will be looking through you older videos to see what i've missed. Take care

    Again loved every moment and possibly could chew your ear off asking questions about your life as a train driver. Or should I say operator...you see where I come from a driver is someone who just drives...an Operator is a highly trained person like yourself who knows all about operating a train. You wear the Captain stripes.
    I live on Norfolk Island so if you are in Australia and can afford an extra holiday. Come to NI and enjoy an island paradise. Also look us up and we will have you around for a dinner or a cupper, we will . Island life I am over it and want to do the city thing (again have only ever done Sydney and Brisbane)and visit London, that is what brought me to your clips...I love Flight sims and fly...I had a train Sim and love Trains of course...so thank you for a well put together set of clips. I will be following more.
    The London trip for us is a definite and saving for it and planning...so all the London clips from Airports, to attractions to trains and hotels I am into it. 👍👍👍 So far your train journeys have topped my likes. Fair dinkum.

      Well thank you I am glad you found my video interesting. I love the idea of captain stripes 🤣🤣. I shall have to ask my boss for a pay rise to go with those stripes. I am in Australia in a couple of weeks ( my first time ) but sadly it will only be a quick trip. I could ask the pilots to divert to yours for that cuppa if you can make every in eon the plane one 😃😃

Hey yeah don't mind seeing you suffer the 24 hours...have watched a couple of those from different classes through first class...would prefer Economy Premium but will end up in Economy for us too. but most of all hope you jump on the trains in Aussie too. Maybe you may get to ride up front.
