- 2nd time filming on the Jubilee Line at Westminster which was last featured on
''Jubilee Line Trains on March 23rd 2018 Part 2'
• Jubilee Line Trains on...
On the day of filming there was a huge backlog of eastbound trains and large gap intervals on westbound trains due to disruption that morning because of a signalling system failure between Wembley Park and Stanmore.
Also a few things different to last time was the automated announcements has been changed and also addition of advertising Google on the Platform Edge Doors as well.
All Jubilee Line Trains are formed of a 7 car 1996 Stock introduced on the line between Christmas Eve 1997 and July 2001 built by GEC Alstom and Metro Cammell now just Alstom in Barcelona and Washwood Heath in Birmingham and at the time of filming the 1996 stock were undergoing a mid life refurbishment.
On December 25th 2005 the line was due to shut for 7 days to enable modifications of the PEDs between Westminster and North Greenwich and also all 1996 stock being upgraded from 6 to 7 car sets with another 10 being built in Barcelona to bring the total up to 63 however it took just 5 days and the line reopened in time for the new year on December 31st.
Westminster the home of Big Ben, Westminster Abbey and The House of Parliament provides interchange with the Circle and District Lines and also located nearby to Westminster Pier and Westminster Bridge.
It originally opened on the Metropolitan District Railway on December 24th 1868 as Westminster Bridge, It was renamed Westminster in 1907. Platform extensions were added between 1962 and 1964 to enable 8 car trains however reduced to 6 cars in 1980 however nowadays all Circle and District Line trains operate S7 Stock trains with the 7 being the number of cars which phrased out the C Stock and D Stock between 2012 and 2017.
The assent for the JLE was issued on March 16th 1992 with construction beginning in December 1993 however to avoid the risk of overcrowding the Circle and District Line platforms had to be kept open during construction.
Unlike other stations built on the Jubilee Line Extension the layout differs here with the Westbound and Eastbound Jubilee Line platforms stacked on top of each other rather than along side.
The reason is to enable to support the Portcullis House office building which at the time of construction a new bridge had to be constructed to support the Circle and District Line Tracks which also had to be lowered by 8 inches.
At a depth of 120 feet it’s the deepest station on the Jubilee Line.
However due to the engineering difficulties it was the last station on the extension to open before the new Millennium that being on Tuesday December 22nd 1999.
The Jubilee Line extension from Green Park to Stratford overall opened a year late and exceeded it’s original construction budget of £2.1 billion and in the end due to overruns from engineering difficulties as well as problems on the construction of the Heathrow Express route from Hayes and Harlington to Heathrow Terminal 4 which included a Tunnel collapse in October 1994 which as a consequence halted construction on the JLE for over a year and also like the JLE it was also using the new Austrian Tunnelling method.
The final cost of the Jubilee Line Extension in the end was £3.5 Billion.
Filmed on Sunday October 28th 2018 on iPhone 8 and edited on iMovie.
The last time I went to London, I’ve been on the Jubilee Line, and still, I never knew at that point that there were platform edge doors since I went on stations that had none. I was actually expecting some, but it didn’t happen 😆
Yuki Gersaniba oh ok
Well there are only 8 stations on the jubilee line that have platform edge doors between North Greenwich and Westminster.
RoscoTrain107 ok
I'm not entirely sure if the stand back from the platform edge announcements are necessary!😂😂
Well last time I filmed there back on March 23rd. this was how the announcement it was
'Jubilee Line, The train now approaching is to Stanmore, Please stand back from the Platform Edge Doors'
Now it's this
'Jubilee Line, The train now approaching is to Stratford please stand back from the Platform Edge'.
I agree with what you say and I find it strange too, probably the reason they have the announcement in is to stop people especially if it's busy leaning on the PEDs because the doors on modern trains do have censors and sometimes if people lean on them even by accident it can stop a train.
Although the Google advertising on the Platform Edge Doors not just Westminster but also Waterloo, Canary Wharf and I think London Bridge as well I find that really annoying.
Pļay
I like them though with platform edge doors
Why does the announcement says “Please stand back from the platform edge” if the Jubilee line stations have PSD in it?
I mean your not the only person to ask the same question.
Even on the day I filmed I was wandering the same thing.
One only likely explanation is because one of the main problem with modern trains they are sensitive so if a passenger leans on the doors on the train by accident then it could stop a train which was found out on the 2009 stock when that first entered service.
PEDs could be a similar explanation although another reason is to keep them clear to allow passengers alight to avoid delays and overcrowding which can make difficult for passengers to get off the train.
Even I admit even when I went back there 13 months later filmed there again as part of my Jubilee line Extension 20th Anniversary Special even I still find it hard to understand.
Were the platform edge doors always there?
@@r4ls3i60 They were added on the new stations on the Jubilee Line extension to Stratford. So between Westminster and North Greenwich, the stations were built with the platform edge doors. The other stations on the line do not have them.
@@r4ls3i60 yes
Great video on trains mate 😊👍
Thanks
I been on a jubilee line train before and it said Jubliee line the train now approaching is to Willesden Green Please stand back from the platform edge
And I didn't see a jubliee line train terminateing at Willesden Green before
And I dunno why it said Please stand back from the platform edge even tho there was PEDs
Good job Roscotrains107 (Might of spelt your name wrong)
Theo Likes Roblox And Trains etc well jubilee line dont just terminate at Stanmore they also can terminate At Wembley Park, Willesden Green and also sometimes West Hampstead because those 3 have reversing sidings. Stanmore of course the end of line.
As for the announcements at Westminster well when I filmed there 1st time on March 23rd last year in my Jubilee Line Trains on March 23rd 2018 Part 2 video. The announcement was this
‘Jubilee Line the train now approaching is to Stanmore, Please stand back from the platform edge doors’
And of course 7 months later it’s changed.
Same thing can’t work out why change the announcement but one possibility is because modern trains can be sensitive to passengers leaning on the doors because it can stop them.
It’s strange but probably the most likely reason for the announcement change.
It’s RoscoTrain107 by the way but not the first to get the name wrong.
Really good station
Thank you
Cool
Brilliant
Sianna on the Jubilee line
is the air gap at the top sealed off? or is the top above the PSDs empty?
Good Question. Likely Empty
I like the propulsion
By the way did you know the jubilee line platforms at Westminster are stacked
mallou faussou I know and I have mentioned it in the description as well
0:36 turn it to 2x speed
Sheesh rush hour speedy
Well sort of although this was actually filmed on a Sunday which at the time was in some ways like rush hour
Right I once went on Victoria line on rush hour I got to it from water beach to Saint Pancras and taken the other tubes to get to it then I went from 1 of the Victoria line station which is notorious for its passengers and taken a 317 to cambridge where I got a 365 night train to water beach
I don't understand why it says "stand back from the platform edge" even though the doors are there.
Good question and your not the only one to ask about that but even on the day I filmed I was wandering the same thing.
The only likely explanation is because modern trains are sensitive so if a passenger leans on the door by accident then it could stop a train which was found out on the 2009 stock when that first entered service.
And also 7 months earlier the announcement was different when I last filmed At Westminster On March 23rd 2018
‘Jubilee line the train now approaching is to Stanmore please stand back from the platform edge doors’
So even myself I do find it baffling why it was changed
@@RoscoTrain107 Thanks for the explanation
No problem
I do. I still love it.
