116 times the subscribers in under a year. That’s very impressive, especially considering how “niche” the content is.
Mate, you’re brilliant! Best proof, that you don’t need annoying music, loud noises, flashing images and bad acting to grow an audience…
Also: your views to subscriber ratio is absolutely astonishingly good!
Meaning you _actually_ make content your audience cares about. Which, to me, is probably the biggest possible success on this platform. (Except making money by setting your integrity on fire)
Geez, this wasn't even that long ago and you've multiplied your subscriber count eighty-fold. Congratulations!

100k coming up soon now.... (march 2021).
108k (29th July 2021) - 100 fold increase.
150k + now 👍

I remember watching this video a long time ago, probably when it was first posted. But I'm only a recent subscriber, having only joined YT last summer.
Honestly, a railway in London taking longer to build than first promised, and then overcrowded at peak hours, unbelivable, see what progress the C21st has made.
ha ha.
Perhaps the oldest commuter line in London, but not the oldest in the world. The Dublin and Kingstown Railway opened in 1834, initially intended for freight, but from day one became a commuter line.
World's first commuter railway was Dublin to Kingstown ( now Dun Laoghaire) 1834! Love your work - GR
Not sure why this happened to your channel but you came into my watchlist at YT after watching a video of Geoff Marshall. Clicked your video, liked it, watched some more, liked them too and subscribed. As many others did too, obviously. Love the way you present your video's, many details about the subject, good sense of humor and not too long. Anyway, congratulations with the 1K mark (and the coming 5K as well). Keep up the good work!
Thanks!
Gilles Geoff Marshall minus the tea......
Found this channel the same way! And in 2 days Jago is already over 8k subscribers! Congrats!!
And right now it is over 8k... En @Gilles: Hoi MK. :) Tijd geleden dat ik je onder deze username heb gezien.
@@railion6513 Dan komen we elkaar weinig tegen op YT, overigens pas sinds een maand of 6 dat ik mijn foto er bij heb staan. En tot een half jaar terug was het Gilles111 op YT. Gebruik deze naam al sinds middelbare school ;-) Help me eens een eindje op weg met wie ik het genoegen heb?
There must be a reason. Your videos are very interesting.
Thank you!
@@JagoHazzard The downside is that YT start slapping more ads on, in and over the vids. You should be PBS'd and funded by the licence fee for the presentation.
Love these videos and your dry humour.
Always liked the shops under the arches idea.
Every time I look at the wasted space under DCs metro and the astronomical rates for commercial space I shake my head.
Flipping heck and now its 37K. Must be doing something right.
56K? 19 thousand in two weeks? Wow.
And now 74K last week of November
How is that possible, thought YT had a 100 subs per day limit?
@@UserNameTaken007 I've never ever heard of that. In fact the few channels with 100 million+ subs (pewdiepie) proves that wrong.
81k, as of the 4th of Jan. With the ability to travel into London curtailed, this is the next best thing if you are interested in the railways and other infrastructure. The delivery is absolutely spot-on.
Discovered your channel last week from my flat on Jamaica Road, and what happens? Your next video is set outside my window! It was meant to be.
Oscar Millar
Hi Oscar, would look up Jamaica Road when I get back to London again.
It would be interesting if I get to meet you on Jamaica Road!
As long as the engines and carriages have steel wheels and ride on iron beams, any historical perspective on London commuter transport is very welcome dear Jago. Thanks very much.
Only recently found this channel (it’s almost MY 2022 as I type this) so having to backtrack a bit to take in earlier editions. This presentation is another wonderful, interesting and educational ramble through our railway history so thanks and congratulations are in order.
Yes please, make more like this!
The surge in subscribers is well deserved. This is an excellent channel, both interesting and entertaining in equal measure. 👌
Thanks!

I for one welcome our new insect overlords...
I think once you hit 1K you start to get promoted by YT as similar vidz. Also you do short videos, less than 10mins, which makes them really quick to view - no need to repeat the wheel on other history/look at vidz but your take and presentation is interesting. Also if you play at 2x they are still comprehensible.
Greetings from a ex-pat in Germany. My German/English Grandson introduced me to your channel. It brings back SO many many wonderful memories. A BIG thank you! from Lutherstadt Wittenberg.
All railway history is interesting whether above or below ground. So keep up the good work is what I say!
Thank you!
Very interesting watching this back Mr Jago. My local line!
Incredible that this was for your 1000 milestone and how much your channel has blown up since then. Your style was already interesting and this video is already good in it’s own right, but your style has become even more polished and refined since.
Fun fact - I actually watched this on television (via the YT app on a PlayStation). You’ve made it not just onto the silver screen but the world of games consoles too. Truly a multi-platform transport icon!
This is the exact content I'm interested in but dont search for
I regularly used to visit the Nightclub under London bridge station, 'Cable' in various stages of intoxication! The underground arches and bricks matched perfectly with the electronic music they played there. The business was turfed out by national rail during the London bridge station upgrade about the same time as they were building the hideous Shard.
Ugh that sounds amaaaazing
Did you seriously just go from 5K subscribers to 10K in 5 days?! That's remarkable. 😳
When you mention videos you've done before, is there a reason you don't link them with "cards"? That way they show up as links in the top-right corner. I try to do this whenever I mention an earlier video and it seems to get people to stick around the channel longer.
Anyway, great content as always! Keep it up!
I travelled to school on the Overground for five years, Northfields to Ravenscourt Park on the District line, back in the 60's. That said, my most enjoyable moment almost every day was catching a look at one of the steam locos shedded in the Acton Town depot. An ex-GWR pannier tank, or two, were kept there for engineering works needing to be carried out while the electricity was switched off. Spotting one in steam would be a red-letter day! Thank you for this site, nice job.
I had an overnight cab ride in a pannier from Lillie Bridge to Neasden and back in 1970.
As I go through your catalogue of videos from the beginning, it’s amazing to see how you go from 1000 subs to 50,000 in the space of 4 videos!
A very enjoyable video - amazing that the line is still useful 185 years later!
Blimey, nearly at 5k now, congratulations.
Thank you! It’s kind of crazy.
@@JagoHazzard Not Kind of crazy mor Kind of deserved.
Just went over 5k! Fantastic! :D
For some reason it just turned up last week in my recommendations, and as I've always enjoyed daytripping to London and riding the Tube, it was only natural I started to watch (and subscribe). Very enjoyable. Please keep them coming.
@@mcarp555 yup came up as a recommendation and i too subscribed, if only they would do the same for my humble, and completely unrelated to transport, channel.😉
I only found your channel a few days ago, presumably because I watch other railway channels, but I agree with others that your videos are enjoyable, informative, entertaining, and very well produced. .... I am now also a subscriber.
Thanks!
As a native-born Londoner, all this is fascinating. It reminds me of my childhood, when it was still normal for unaccompanied children to travel on public transport, especially the Tube. I am unlikely ever to return to London, so your videos are very welcome. Thank you very much, and keep up the good work. I recall the time of the Moorgate crash; I was then working in Manchester, and concerned colleagues kept coming to me (knowing I was a Southerner from London), asking if I had any relatives involved. Very touching, and indicative that the North-South divide is not as impermeable as some might think.
1k subscribers to almost 70k in 3 months!! Top work fella!
Blimey, only 2 months later and you've just hit 50k. Good going
Yes Jago. Please do more of the Surface railways of London... like Station History, where tracks no longer are... etc I enjoyed this one and will visit some of these old loactions next time in England. (I'm In Canada, but grew up as a kid on Baker Street Chiltern Court W1 in the 1960-1970s)
It takes a while for a small channel to pop up in recommendations, but when it's a good channel like this one, things really take off. I subscribed yesterday after seeing just one of your videos (never done that before, I always watch a selection of videos before I subscribe). Now a day after releasing your 1,000 sub video, I see you're closing in on 6,000. Congratulations and keep up the excellent work!
I haven't been to London since 1994 and am in no hurry to go again, but I think these vids are great. I like the way it's not all about you (if you know what/who I mean).
And here you are now at 99,000 subscribers (2 march 2021), waiting for it to tick over to a hundred times the milestone of this video.
Very good video. I only found your channel the other day, but like it immensely. I don't live in London, but have been fascinated by it, and what lies beneath for many years. For several years, the mark of quality content about the odder areas of the capital was held by Londonist/Geoff Marshall. Your videos are equally as good, with the bonus of your sense of humour - the still of Raymond Burr as 'Ironside' in your Kingston video, when referring to a Saxon king, made me laugh out loud - and your occasional wandering off-topic is something I enjoy too. You do good work. I generally judge videos on their content, if, at least once, in them, I think: 'I did not know that.' Your videos pass with flying colours, every time. Thank you.
Hear 1000 subscribers and I check the date on the video, figuring this must be like 6 years old. Oh, 6 months. Congratulations!
Thanks!
Thanks!!!! That was a marvellous video. You took me to places I never thought existed. Thank you very much indeed
Fascinating subjects, well told, great sense of humour! Hence lots of subs. 👍
Thanks!
20 videos I have watched now
So happy I discovered your channel
Keep it up my friend 👍🏾🙏🏾❤️
Very interesting channel. Have you seriously gained 4K subscribers in a week? Wow!!! Well done, you appeared on my homepage so CZcams's algorithm likes you, you might be at 10000 by the end of the weekend!! Congrats.
Thank you! It’s absolutely crazy, I’m just some dude making videos on my phone!
That was fascinating and anything predating the dear tube is always interesting! So! Please do thank you.
Geoff Marshall brought me here. I liked the video, so I subscribed. As someone from the US, I love learning about transportation infrastructure outside of the US, especially trains, so you keep me well entertained.
So, from 1000 subscribers in July, to almost 50,000 in October. You deserve it, plus thanks CZcams algorithm!
Just in case no one's said this before - the brick arches have enormous thermal mass, which means the spaces under the arches can easily retain a steady temperature. Which makes them awesome for brewing beer, since you want steady temperatures to ensure the yeast does its work consistently!
Wow! I just realised how quickly this channel is growing, great work!
As you said. the arches are much like a Roman aqueduct, It's good design, it works, it's durable and pushing 200 years old. Thomas Cockrane was a legend and an amazing man.
wow, nearly 100k subs in less than a year, good job mate
I got one of your videos recommended after watching a lot of other railway stuff but this channel is definitely more watchable than a lot of others, mainly you know how to actually make clean audio which a lot of channels don't and I can't stand that.
Excellently done, great visuals, interesting information put into a compelling story.
Im not surprised your channel has taken off so well, once it got a little YT push in the right direction. I like your style young sir, similar to my own slightly mocking look on things. If i might make t teeny weeny suggestion, a map showing where these stations are/were might help clarify help the non locals. You have made me reslise i must make better use of my Freedom Pass to visit some of the same places once the present difficulties have receded, if only one book the same weather that you seem to get when you go a filming. .
Several people have suggested maps, and it’s a good idea that I’m certainly planning on using in future videos.
Your voice is definitely more animated in your voice in you're newer videos. I started watching you during lockdown and how you have so many subscribers. Well done and enjoy your continued success
Absolutely love this channel, great to see it gain all these new subs.
This is a very good coverage of London commuter railway. Thank you.
Congrats!! Already at 4.6k! Really is a great parallel to a pioneering rail service; booms so quickly! I'd love to see more content on the non-tube rail in London and this format was awesome. Keep up the great work!
Fascinating, have used/enjoyed the Greenwich line for decades and never new this history. Thankyou :)
Fascinating. Well done.
Great work. Only just discovered your channel but you are doing an amazing job.
Wow! Nearly 10k a few days later! Love the content!
+ 52k subs in less than 3 months, way to go!
Great stuff!! Love it. Keep up the good work
Thanks for this, interesting, and concise.
Just want to say really enjoy your videos. I almost always learn one or more interesting facts with each one I watch. Keep up the good work.
Fantastic scenery of London, quite an awesome place to step back through time, thank you 😎👍
Moved on a bit from 1,000 now! Cool channel and the continued growth is well deserved.
Congratulations on your influx of new subscribers (of which I am one) - it's well deserved.
Not even a year has past and already your channel has shot up to 85k subs. I wonder if you have Geoff Marshall to thank for this? Well done! A fab channel that I discovered today whilst researching the London, Chatham and Dover line. Thank you. I'm subbed!
Hi Jago, your videos are interesting and very watchable with informative, sometimes amusing, commentary. Well done.
Anything on the history of railways in London would be good. I'm especially interested in the start of the railway system leading into St Pancras and Kings Cross. I lived in Kentish Town in the 50's/60's, right behind what was then the extensive yards, coal unloading arches and repair sheds, all gone now.
Thank you!
I remember the Summerstown ( ? Somerstown?) Goods Yard when closed but used as an NCP Car / lorry/ coachpark. Some of The Professionals and The Sweeney were filmed in there.
Have you come across the book "The King's Cross Story" by Peter Darley The History Press 2018? Full of detail on this area. You could supplement it with the historic large-scale OS maps produced by Alan Godfrey. Wish I got paid for these promotions!
i'm in love with your content. i've been craving stuff like this ever since i watched jay foreman's videos on london. great stuff.
Excellent! Thanks for watching!
Watching as you are at 48k subs, looking at 50k I'm sure quite soon. I love this channel! Thanks so much for sharing all of this with us :-)
Ahh. The Bermondsey beer mile 😁
You earned this subscriber boom. I’ve now got a backlog of incredible videos to watch😊
Now you’re past 15k!? Good luck to you Jaggo Hazard. Hope you cross your next important landmark very soon. Subscribed.
Many thanks!
At almost 6.5k now, about 1.5k since yesterday, I see this channel is enjoying a similar trajectory to that experienced by The Tim Traveller recently. Keep up the good work.
Congratulations!
Thank you. Well researched .. educational and beyond entertaining. You sir... are one of the reasons I still hold on to CZcams.
Respect Jago .. 🙏🏻☺️
Don't live in London, don't really care about London, but I still watch. You're doing something right. Hopefully 100k+ next year, eh?
Er yep!😉
Well done JagoHazard, you keep my link to the Uk, london and it’s “musty” underground smells close to my heart even tho I’ve lived in NZ for 10 years..
The best adventures are unplanned ones. Thanks for sharing. Loving the history of the underground. 😀🎃
143 k subscribers!! wow!! Well deserved though, you do a great job with your videos.
Congratulations 🥳 and now close to 5000 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 you make great videos and sound and come across well 👍🏻
Many thanks!
This is a great channel. Your voice and wit are remarkable. The stories always delightful. BTW, Cochrane spent some time down here under the sun. When Brazil got fed up with Portuguese absolutism and split, Peter I, our first ruler, hired him to run some part of his fleet. Family lore says an ancestor of mine was tasked to keep Cochrane under a reasonable degree of control. I always enjoy stories that mention that extraordinary character.
Greetings from America. Your videos are well produced, and the occasional splash of droll humor is so British. Thanks.
You’re very welcome!
Growing up in Bermondsey I used to walk past the Spa Road station all the time. Thanks for shedding a light on my home borough 😄
Thanks for vlogs I'm enjoying them emencely. I like any London transport history .👍🚂🚉
Thank you I’m not one bit surprised ,thank you so much for you brilliant videos
Glad you enjoy them!
1 Sept '21 and you have 121,000, you deserve every one of us and I have enjoyed each and every video I have seen.
Just caught this one sort of randomly, although I've been watching your videos for months now. This was for a thousand subscribers! Now you're at 144k! You've done well for yourself, my friend. Well deserved success!
I just started subscribing several days ago. Love your videos! Your voice has a documentary-like cadence, which makes for a nice listen in the car. Also your videos include lots of details other London and/or train youtubers don’t cover. Well done. 😁
Thank you! I try to be a bit different, although I must admit there have been times when I’ve been pipped to the post on a video by another CZcamsr covering the same subject...
I also came upon your channel by accident, liked it, watched some more videos and subscribed. I see that you are now at 7,700 subscribers. Well done! You deserve success for your informative, watchable and very professional material.
5.12K now. You're blowing up!
Congrats my man!
Well done m8, I only found you're channel by chance while looking up Jango Fett (Boba Fett's daddy) last night and misspelt it Jago Fett and one of you're videos popped up and I've been binge watching ever since.
As a fellow Londoner I love these types of videos so keep up the good work.
To go from 1000k subs to nearly 100k in 7 mths shows you're doing something right and well liked.
Btw Crystal Palace has always interested me.... So much history there. Maybe a future video
Keep going Jago! You’re nearly at 150,000 subscribers now!
Congrats on reaching the 1000 subscribers...
Congrats on the now almost 75k subscribers!
i absolutely love your channel and style. Keep it up!!
Thanks!
My, how you’ve grown (and in such a short period of time)!
Thank you for these excellent recordings. As a Londoner I find all of your content engaging and, an absolute joy to watch. Thank you for the effort in producing these videos.
Thanks! Glad you’re enjoying them!
Congrats on your channel mate. And thanks for the documentary!!
You are most welcome!
Don't be surprised, what do you expect when you produce great videos.
Now 100K! Congrats!!!
Congratulations Jago. Keep up your excellent work. 🚂🚃🚃🚃
Thank you!
@@JagoHazzard While others might have done stuff, a video on Greenwich as a whole (and its relation with the Isle of Dogs, could be interesting, maybe folk dont know about the Naval College, Henry's Palaces and so on. (or the power station !)
1k in July, 53.7k by middle of October! Well done. Very good presentions.
