    Great Job ! I attended Liverpool Polytechnic back in the day. In 1985/6 a footbridge across spanning Bryon Street from Dale Street to the college fell down onto the road as it was being dismantled. Similar in design to those being removed in this video. No one hurt, thankfully. I remember coming around the Dale Street corner past The Mitre pub on the way into college one morning and seeing one end of the walkway up in the air resting on a columns and the other embedded in the ground 40feet below. Oops !

    I needed to know why don’t dig a tunnel and do an extension for the main line Train so that they can extend the unused abandoned underground stations. Why couldn’t they use the part D78 Stock train doors on the sides and also restructure the front face of the A60 and A62 stock and that includes the class 313, class 314 and class 315 remix and make them all together and also redesign them an overhead line and also make them into Five cars per units and also having three Disabled Toilets on those Five cars per units A60 and A62 stock trains and also convert the A60 and A62 stock trains into a Scania N112, Volvo TD102KF, Volvo B10M, Gardner 6LXB, Gardner 6LXC and Gardner 8LXB Diesel Engines and also put the Loud 7-Speed Voith Gearboxes even Loud 8-Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Gearboxes in the A60 and A62 stock, class 313, class 314, and class 315 and also modernise the A60 and A62 stock and make it into an 11 car per unit so it could have fewer doors, more tables, computers and mobile phone chargers. A Stock Trains and also having 8 Disabled Toilets on those A stock trains. why couldn’t we refurbish and modernise the waterloo and city line Triple-Track train tunnel and make it bigger and extend it to the bank station, making it into a Triple-Track Railway Line so those 4 European countries such as Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden to convert the waterloo and city line Triple-Track Train tunnel into a High-Speed train? The Third Euro tunnel Triple-Track Train line to make it 11 times better for passengers so they could go from A to B. then put the modernised 11 car per unit A Stock and put them on a bigger modernised waterloo and city line Triple-Track train tunnel so it could go to bank station to those 4 European countries such as Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden. The modernised refurbished 11 cars per unit A stock could be a High Speed The Third Triple-Track Euro Tunnel Train So it is promising and 37 times a lot more possible to do this kind of project that is OK for London Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden. oh by the way, could they also tunnel the Triple-Track Railway Line so it will stop from Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Essex so that the Passengers will go to Germany, Italy, Poland and Sweden and also extend the Triple-Track Railway Line from Bank to Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Essex Stations so that more people from there could go to Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden Easily. Why couldn't they extend the Piccadilly line and also build brand-new underground train stations so it could go even further right up to Clapton, Wood Street and also make another brand new tunnel train station in Chingford could they extend the DLR? All of the classes 150, 155, 154, 117, 114, 105, and 106, will be replaced by all of the Scania N112, Volvo TD102KF, Volvo B10M, Gardner 6LXB, Gardner 6LXC and Gardner 8LXB Diesel Five carriages three disabled toilets are air conditioning trains including Highams Park for extended roots which is the Piccadilly line and the DLR trains. Could you also convert all of the 1973 stock trains into an air-conditioned maximum speed 78 km/hours (48 MPH) re-refurbished and make it into a 8 cars per unit if that will be alright, and also extend all of the Piccadilly train stations to make more space for all of the extended 8 car per unit 1973 stock air condition trains and can you also build another Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive Companies and they can order Every 17 Octagon and Hexagon shape LNER diagram unique small no.13 and unique small no.11 Boilers from those Countries such as Greece, Italy, Poland, and Sweden, can they make Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive speeds by up to 117MPH so you can try and test it on the Original Mainline so it will be much more safer for the Passengers to enjoy the 117MPH speed Limit only for HS2 and Channel Tunnel mainline services, if they needed 16 Carriages Per units can they use those class 55’s, class 44’s, class 40’s and class 43HST Diesel Locomotive’s right at the Back of those 18 Carriages Per Units so they can take over at the Back to let those Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive’s have a rest for those interesting Journeys Please!!, oh can you make all of those Coal Boxes’s 16 Tonnes for all of the 117MPH Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive’s so the Companies will Understand us PASSENGER’S!! so please make sure that the Builders can do as they are Told!!

      @@JP_TaVeryMuchI agree the content of this video is both interesting and important, but It's often the case that younger generations are poor speakers or have inadequate presentation skills to deliver it well. It is a skill to do this but developing this skill has declined in recent decades. This seems to be a peculiar problem of the British. In other countries such as the USA, presentation skills are more emphasised in early years education. The British have always been inadequate at this, mainly due to poor standards in state education. But even in private education it's not great either. It is so ironic that, given the English are the progenitor and guardians of the English language, it's more often left to other nations to deliver it in a more effective manner.

      @@MeTube3 Yes, countries do. The names hide truths not in the headlines: for example, the Normans were not "French", but a separate principality. France was not a united country, but separately ruled areas, such as principalities, fiefdoms, etc.. Later, the area of to-day's France up to Paris was ruled by English monarchy, so during that period all development in that large land area could unfairly be called British development, in the same unfair way Norman-designed castles are unfairly attributed to the labouring of Norman hands, who, as the then temporary overseers, were not the labourers. The Normans were descended from the Scandinavian Viking, Rollo, for instance. The Bretons, in what became France, are descended in large part from those in South-West England, Wales, and elsewhere, who didn't want to live under Roman rule in Britain. All readers of history shall have what they think is knowledge, I conceed, (which is often the mistakes of authors), and 'know' another figure; but the book I read on the subject gave about ten thousand arrived Roman soldiers, (themselves drawn from many provinces outside Rome, ((Italy not even being a united land till the 19th. Century)), yet today's Italy receives the credit), and about 2 million or-more Britons, who did, under supervision, much of the labour, as the locals then, but not now, were expected, expected, to do much of the labour. . (You may remember a programme made about men from north-east, I think, England saying "Auf Fiedersehen, Pet'', to their wives, when they went to work on building sites in Germany). Broadening the subject, there are other examples, aren't there; such as the 1776 American Revolution, which was no such thing, because a united America didn't exist, and Burgoyne, the Empire Loyalists and some red indian tribes conceeded defeat to Britain's own thirteen colonies, some European soldiery, (seeing the chance to weaken Britain's influence in the new world), and with help themselves from Indian tribes, British soldiers conceeded defeat to thirteen British colonies; whilst the Army was also, unlike the Colonists, fighting wars elsewhere). Each land learns from others, in the way the whole world daily benefits from the industries, (like hot-blasting iron), and many others, which came from Britain. There's a daily chance to invest; and whilst I've been enjoying noticing the voluntary celebrationns of H.M.'s Platinum celebrations, my mind returns to two, volunteer charity workers, inside Bromley, Kent's M & S's foyer, trying to raise £10.00's a-month from people, for the soldiers' Veterens' Lottery, which trys to help the homeless British soldiers, (the ones not in hotels), from committing suicide at the rate of about two a week. I've greatly strayed from the subject, and shouldn't have done. but I thank you if you've stayed this far.

The initial opening it will only be the Abbey Wood branch running underground, the Shenfield trains will still run on the surface from and into the Liverpool Street mainline station, as they do now.

    Updates are very welcome. Suggest you buy more clip-on mics/mikes or radio mikes. Marvellous looking surface finishes underground. Needless sycophancy in calling it The Elizabeth Line ( 6 syllables) when Crossrail ( 2 syllables) already established for convenient use.

    Terrific to see this advanced engineering take shape. The accents seem to disprove the Remain theories that the UK outside the EU is closed to EU citizens working here. I saw an Aussie engineer on another clip. Long may it continue.

      They're highly paid engineers doing a skilled job. Not the same at all as fruit pickers or other EU workers who have left the UK in large numbers and we can't replace.

      @@owensmith7530 Highly paid or not they are foreign workers and as I pointed out some are EU workers. Sorry to burst your Remainer bubble. The difference now is anyone from anywhere in the world is treated exactly the same as everyone else not as before when any EU citizen could come here skilled or not. And what amazes me about you Remainers is that because you have not known any other system you cannot understand we had seasonal worker here for decades and even now we have seasonal visas available. We were never dependent on the EU for workers the issue was so many came here that wages dived and resident workers found other work. And large numbers have left? You have proof of this? So who are the 6 million EU citizens who claimed Settled Status and live here then?

      @@1chish I'm 56, I was employed before the EU single market so I do know what a different system looks like. I also remember the 3 day week (just) and power cuts in the Winter Of Discontent. Britain was rubbish in the 70s, and joining the EEC and turning it into the EU is part of what fixed that. I don't want to go back to how things were before the EU because I know just how dreadful that was.

      @@owensmith7530 Oh dear owen. You think I can't count? So you were 8 years old in 1972 when we joined the EEC and therefore you never worked before Freedom of Movement as you allege. And you can dance on the pinhead of EEC / EU all you like but the principle of FoM never changed. So you just proved my point. You then dig an even deeper hole Owen: the '3 day week' (caused by militant trade unions I might add) was in the winter of 1973/74 when you were 9 years old so AFTER we joined the EEC. Ooops! You keep digging an even deeper hole with the 'Winter of Discontent' (again caused by militant trade unions) which was in 1978/79 when you were 14 years old. So some 6 years AFTER we joined the EEC. Ooops again! Sorry to burst your Remainer bubble again Owen but joining the EEC in no way 'fixed that' at all. Maggie Thatcher did. However unlike you, being 75, I DID work for many years before we joined the EEC and I actually voted 'Remain' in 1975 aged 28 because I was happy with what was a trade deal amongst 12 similar nation states with immigration at 30,000 a year. As it happens I gained my papers in 1965 but those same trade unions had already destroyed my industry (engineering) so I went to work in Germany aged 18. No FoM needed then Owen and it took a10 minute stop at the German Consulate for my Eintrittserlaubnis. Thanks to the EU trade deal we now have people can live and work anywhere in the EU now just as I did in 1968 which is why all these skilled engineers from all over the world want to come here. So all your bluster is basically BS Owen. Sorry to be so blunt. There was nothing wrong (workwise) with how things were before the EEC apart from those trade unions. And it took Maggie to sort THAT out with the simple weapon of democracy. She, like me, liked the EEC and even gave it the name of 'The Common Market' but like me she also saw the dangers of the political project called the EU. I have been a Brexiteer since 1993 having read the Maastricht Treaty. Before the word was invented.

      @@1chish There was no freedom of movement under the EEC, that came in with the Single Market which we entered under John Major. As for things happening after we joined the EEC, it takes many years for the economic effects of major changes to work through the system. We're still only at the start of feeling the effects of Brexit. As for Maggie Thatcher, yes I agree she fixed a lot of things caused by militant trade unions but she was also a significant backer of the single market. She was very keen on free trade and wanted to see more of it. We've gone backwards on that.
