London Underground: Narrow Platform at Clapham North Station
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 6 พ.ย. 2015
- Today’s film shows Clapham North Station on the Northern Line of the London Underground.
Clapham North is one of the only two remaining deep-level Tube stations that have island platforms, the other being Clapham Common (one stop south).
The island platform at this station is quite narrow, which can get dangerously crowded during rush hour.
This film was shot during off-peak hours, and shows some Northern Line action at this station. All trains are formed of 1995 Tube Stock.
Enjoy! - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
1:13 Both trains closed doors at the same time and left at the same time. That was really satisfying to watch
they didnt
That was even more was when I heard the train horn
4:50 it's neat to hear the announcements repeating each other!
First time I went to this platform was when I missed my stop during rush hour. I will never forget house crowded the trains were on train going the other direction. There were a bunch waiting and it took 3 trains before I eventually squeezed my way on
I've never been to this station but I don't fancy doing it when I've had a drink or two and/or it's crowded!
Gut to be little scary when speeding trains arrive at both platform at same time.
Angel and Euston (Bank/Monument branch southbound) were originally island platforms but have since been reconfigured to single platforms, hence the wide platforms.
Angel was rebuilt because the island platform was even narrower, unsafe during rush hour and overcrowding.
Euston was rebuilt as the station was being reconfigured for the Victoria line coming in during the 1960s
I reckon if they ever decide to install more platform doors - they should prioritise this station or if possible expand the platform.
waist high doors, ya dont need full height
That's how it is in Japan with some of the Shinkansen stations, in addition to most of their subways. They work well enough.
I never felt safe on that platform during rush hours
@TheRenaissanceman65 That's what they did here in Toronto for Union Station a few years ago.
You should see Glasgow's underground.

Angel station used to be like this too. They bored a second tunnel and filled in the second track on the old one, meaning it now has a very wide platform there.
intresting fact about abandoned island platforms. Stockwell station used to have one until 1924 when the platforms were moved south.
😮
NORTHERN LINE . THE NEXT TRAIN TO MORDEN WILL ARRIVE IN 2 MINS, NEXT STATION CLAPHAM COMMON

Good to hear from you Connor Rice from your announcements
Strangely enough island platforms on the tube are coming back into fashion (Hatton Cross, the Heathrow stations except Terminal 4, and the Jubilee line extension) - just very much wider than those old ones!!! (And also in the case of the Jubilee line with barriers separating the platform from the track.) The old narrow ones like the Claphams were not really safe, especially during peak hours when the platforms are crowded. I remember sometimes using the old one at Angel (before the reconstruction) and it gave me the heebie-geebies.
(Also Redbridge, 1947)
New platforms at Hounslow West, identical to Hatton Cross, apart from the colour scheme, were opened in 1975, at the same time as Hatton Cross opened too, and the old terminal platforms closed there, although the existing ticket hall and entrance were kept. Island platforms are fine, as long as they're wide enough!
@@ianmcclavin Hi, thanks for the reminder about the reconstructed Hounslow West. Yes, as long as they're wide enough there's no problem with island platforms. Also for some reason the ones in the open air (as at Hounslow Central) don't seem to worry people so much even if they're relatively narrow (although I suspect Hounslow Central doesn't usually get as crowded as the Claphams!).
Pretty much every station on the Glasgow Subway is like this!
Oh I’ve been Glasgow Hah same

That sort of platform would give me nightmares of falling. I'd hate to use it when it gets busy
Back then, island platforms below ground were cheaper to build and limited space to build single platforms.
I like the sounds they're making
I just just admire the Tube model of the train and the underground platform.
5:55 Look at the top of the stairwell, someone is desperate for a train xD

my 3 yrs old son can't stop watching this video , his fascinated by it.

haha sayme
I’ve always had a massive fear of this station, not sure why.
It's an interesting underground station, it's like a Glasgow subway station that has a lot of stations containing two platforms joined together.
These narrow island platforms seem scarier underground
Arrival and stopping of both trains at 3:30 - 👌
At one point the train that arrived a second or two the later left a second or two the earlier!
Cool trains!
Great on underground station trains ☺👍👍
why this platform is so narrow . anytime any accident could occured
loool this was the station i used to go to with my mum when i was 3 and i was always so scared of that happening
At the time it was cheaper to build and it was incorporated into the Northern Line. It is too expensive to rebuild to single platforms and it is not on top of TfL to do list for now.
Many were built that way in the first place. This station and Clapham Common are the last two on the London Underground that survive in this form. Euston also had one, which was converted in the 60's when the Victoria Line was added there, and Angel in the early 90's.
Some Plattfroms are even worse!
The beach
used to live just round the corner from here and use the station every day
Wow the subway in uk looks better than the subways in the U.S.
im guessing because its a very big part of london pride for their trains to look the part since the underground is an iconic part of London's appearence
Lol damn right
Well I like time London Tube dont agree!
Also the Glasgow Tube(many people say they look similiar) is nice! 💟💓👑👻
This is my 4th favourite line and the 1995 stock is my favourite of the modern stocks
Great video on underground trains mate 😊👍
I know right🙂
I know right🙂
I like the sound of the northern line
Yea its really entertaining isn't it😌👍👍
Apparently, it looks like the '95 Stock refurbishments took place in 2015. I thought it was 2016.
Great video. Have subscribed.
Yep!
WARNING DO NOT CROSS THE TRAIN THIS TRAIN TRACKS IS POWERED
The foist subway trains in history were made in London . the second Moscow the 3rd new york
foist lol
is it really?
I'm not sure about it, but I think the second subway was built in Budapest, Hungary. It was opened in 1896 and served as an example, when the New York subway was designed.
interesting
1. London
2. Moscow
3. Glasgow
This station looks nice
DIS IS DA NORTHERN LINE TRAIN TERMINATING AT HIGH BARN IT
Ich mage die S-Trains persönlich mehr!
Ich finds sie haben eine schöne Körperform!
So if someone falls off platform, do they die? I was always afraid of the third rail being in the middle
+Hobo G The third rail that is electrified is in the middle
yeah. it will certainly kill a person if they fell.
IMPORTANT EDIT: I gave some information that was told to me by a LUL employee which I posted in good faith. As it was quite likely incorrect and concerns safety I have deleted it.
It seems like a good idea, doesn't it, for rail systems with unprotected platforms with third rails below to implement some type of station side power subdivision to allow removal of main power from the third rail and collect residual static charge, which could be life threatening at these voltages and currents, when it is not in use by a train.
The system is hundred plus years old.
1:50
Great video '
Also a narrow one in Essex. Harold Wood Station.
Similar in width to Glasgow underground but the London trains are longer and faster. I was pretty scared the only time I used this station.
The station reminds me of the New York City subway, IRT Lenox Avenue, 110th St. station
1:19 the whistle of the northern line now revealed
I know that the Glasow subway has narrow platforms
Anyone know if that Clapham Road (the original name of the station) roundel, at the end of the northbound side is still visible?
No, they removed it (or covered it up again) during the refurbishment of the stations on the Borough to Morden section of the line (except Stockwell) in the late 90's/early 2000's. I do remember passing through and seeing it though when it was there.
very nice!!

WHY THE HELL
I have a fear of this station
Why!? ❓
@@kailidovas9562 why not
@@abzinhoo Why yes?
And I thought the Beverley Road station on the New York City Transit’s Q train line was narrow.
What is the purpose of this structure at the end of the platform at 01:43?
Charles Dreiser If you mean the metal, I think it is a ventilation shaft. If you mean the shape of the tunnel, it is because the station was dug out from the surface while the tunnels were dug by hand, so i would assume that the round shape was the best for the station since you would not need support pillars that would corrode, also round rooms/tunnels are stronger rather than square tunnels/rooms.

ibrajim hassan Hello. Thanks for the response above. I believe I meant the ventilation shaft. And how may I help you?
It's saying no captions available is there any commentary

Angel station 30 years ago used to look like this
That's a decent step up into the carriage. Are all deep tube platforms like this?
No
Only two left like this. Clapham Common and Clapham North.
Joe Burgess
I think the question was specifically /are they like this in having such a high step up/, not about having a narrow central platform.
You're right, I'm an idiot lol
wow
Is this how angel used to look like ?
Yes, at platform level Angel was virtually identical to this, although Angel had no curve in the platforms, and then had lifts rather than escalators to the street level, this was changed when Angel was rebuilt.

Ok thanks.
There should be afire here you should publicado the passenger alarm 7:11
you know that all Northern line Trains are Automatic
+ UNDERGROUND 202 yes the northern line works ATO,the driver only press two buttons to depart and operate the doors,sorry for my bad english but im from italy
+versus84 The drivers can still have manual control of the train if needed
Victoria Line
as well
Its driven manually on Sunday to keep the drivers in practice (so they dont forget how to drive)
A driver told me that
Looks like the Glasgow subway
Not really!
1 for the first question first
Rest in peace to all the people who fall down those stairs or trip over on the platform
Dont make a drama here!
Eh much more wider than the other LU platforms

Impossible for passengers to be 2 metres a part.
Oh well, never mind.
Why do I see white mushroom shaped items on the rails?
They are insulators made out of a kind of china. They stop the current in the live rails from discharging to earth.

Why doesn't London's underground annouce before arrive???

I'm not a fan of the 1995 stocks, bit they are faster and cleaner than the junk 1972 trains
I hate this kind of platform
I like this platform

They really need platform edge doors soon
Do the two sides always arrive at the same time at this station?
is it because the station is too old ??
Osama Almulki This station is too old but they won't take apart whole platforms
