- Thank you @TransporterTony for riding along!
Real time cab ride with minimal editing through from Cockfosters to Heathrow T4. Between Hatton X and T4 I have used Tony's video as agreed on the day as my camera ran out of battery.

One sound i always love is the clunking when travelling over the points.
Your incredibly lucky to not only ride the cab, but to have such an informative and helpful driver. So nice he slowed down to allow you to film the abandoned station!
Which station at what time?
30:00

watching this before bed, this is really calming to me
I was just thinking the same thing when I saw one of these pop up earlier. Would be nice to fall asleep to.
My late father was a train operator for the Piccadilly line for almost 18 years, later moving on to becoming a station master at Caledonian Road. Thanks to this video, I got to experience what he would’ve seen.
30:00 York Road
40:44 Down Street (& siding)
43:53 Brompton Road
1:08:09 Osterley & Spring Grove
Cheers!
it's quite funny how quick covent garden -> leicester square is from this view
I live on an island in the middle of the South Pacific. No Trains here. So the ride along is so fascinating and love every minute of it.
So amazing to see how the lines and tunnels cross, and abandoned stations.
Hope to travel to London one day so the reason for jumping on here is to understand how the Train Network works...riding up front is a bonus.
Also have the Tube Map as we ride along...So cool Thank you!
23:47 it’s amazing to see a cross over with the Victoria line 2009 Tube stock at Finsbury Park
Excellent film, great chat with driver, manor house was my stop for 8 years 30 years ago, back in Yorkshire now, stations haven't changed.
Excellent cab ride. You had great interaction with driver, without being loud and annoying like some people in the cab filming are. I could actually bear listening to your convo! Also, your camera picked up the light in the tunnel well so we could see all the crossovers and disused parts, albeit with some minor focusing issues.
As an Ex Carriage Examiner @Northfields Depot, this brings back a lot of memories for me. I remember doing test runs and stock transfers from the Piccadilly to the Northern line. Loved every minute of my time working @ Northfields Depot. I also used to be a Call Point Examiner @ Leicester Square.
The algorithm - every time the train enters a tunnel, YT thinks it's a scene change, and throws in an ad. Great video!
Now this is the video I am looking for I CAN FINALLY SEE THE TUNNELS haha
Great video, better than the other cab rides I've watched. You can see the track, and it's not complete darkness. Look forward to watching the next one
Back in the late 1980s this was my route to work and you could feel (and hear) what I have just learned to be the crossover at the old York Road station but I never knew what it was because you couldn't see the station. It's really nice to see the old station up close, and I'm sure the ride in that section is a lot smoother and quieter now.
Why do I like this so much?
I’d love to see this when the new stock comes in 🙏🏽
Love the art deco stations of the outer West.
Nerd rating for this video is off the scale!
Many, many thanks!
wow! I go past York Road on my commute every single day - I’ve seen the old station building at surface level so I know there used to be a station there. but this is probably the closest I’ll ever get to seeing the old platforms and this was amazing, thank you!!
Excellent video of my favourite tube stock and line
Great video😊
This is great 👍
Lovely train nerd patter as well.
At Finsbury Park the westbound Piccadilly line was routed into the ex Northern City platform to allow for cross platform interchange with the Victoria line.
absolutely loving how filmer bucks the BI trend there by not editing out platform dwells, and even goes so far as to :gasp: pan over to those trackside platform monitors (remembering when all those appliances displayed only in b&w there)
Finsbury Park. I've never seen a station not only be on a curve but also on an incline. Here in Toronto, all our stations are perfectly level and all but two stations are perfectly straight (Union (University side) and St Clair are the exceptions)
Very nice video
Great footage & cab ride of the Piccadilly line heard there bringing in new stock units to the line by 2025.
Cool ride along, love the long-form/unedit.
Nice Video
You are lucky
Excellent infotainment! Following progress on Apple maps transport...
subways above or beneath Ton o' rot squeal rounding even the gentlest bend
So from Cockfosters to Heathrow was only about an hour and a half (including stops)? That's not bad actually considering the level of surface traffic these days. :-)
i see no ghosts thanks for video from doncaster uk
Nice to see a manually driven line, no ATO here
2023 stock due soon. Some of the new units are being built in Goole Siemens plant!
The first automatic line!
You missed passing the remains of Osterley Park station which was abandoned when the Great West Road was built in the 30s and the new Osterley station built. Used to walk past the old station and then the extra half mile slog to the new one going to school in Hammersmith. Gutting.
29:50 is that york Rd
It's a shame that the Heathrow tunnels weren't designed to also accommodate sub-surface sized trains.
At 8'40" there's a selfie ;-)
Ooooooooooooooooooooooooh
I saw my dad at Northfields
what are those fences like the one on the left at 0:16?
So those aren’t fences, as such. They’re cable separators which, as the name implies, keep the power cables at a sufficient distance to prevent short-circuits in the event one should sag in an overload condition. Very ordinary by modern standards, but very much vital.
the only time that my District train had outpaced a Piccadilly service was when C stock traipsed about Richmond or Ealing, filling in for disabled CO/CP and R stock due to the *PIDDLY* ice storm that happened to introduce cleptoparisitcally kingdom burg there to the fuckingly-commercialized Eighties
I think the Bakerloo is probably more fun to be on tbh
@@breadandcircuses8127 You get to open the windows once you're outside
Why are there so many signals so close together?
It allows for high frequency of trains
What, they cut all of those Trees down so you could see the depot..?
leaf fall.. we had a really bad period of it and it messed up many trains.. i think we had only 25 running at one point so they cut loads down on the whole line to stop it from being an issue.. leaves on the track make it skid when you break which creates flats on the wheels which are loud when driving
What does the X over the T mean??
There is no tunnel telephone wires inside the tunnel to connect to the signalling centre
to quick for me to see station names probably say we are no at station ---
Great to watch , too many CZcams adverts though 🙄
Becuase I uploaded this with legacy monitisation I can't change the number of ads or where they are placed unfortunatly. Thanks for watching.
Lots of "suitcases" going to Heathrow..
wherefrom all that tunnelside trash soon after S Ken..?
Is it a diesel?
No, fully electric
2 pick-up rail electric ~ the deep-level tube was designed to be electric from the beginning
Soon be getting new trains, improvements to frequencies?. But same old problems of today with overcrowded trains regardless of no cars instead walk through trains, won’t get much more for one’s money, only increased tube fares.
Oh, don’t be such an old sourpuss. Some of us are very much looking forward to the new trains. For one thing, they’ll be much better for accessibility.
Hi how did you get a cab ride
I normally ask at the train crew accommodation near the depot. Or ask a driver at a terminus station who I should contact. They are normally very helpful.
Piccadilly Line 1973 Tube Stock
...Is brilliant!
Why do i see u every time in his vid do u have nothing else to do?
@@Itsmeh939maybe he likes the videos
No shit Sherlock.
The amount of ads on this is deplorable lol
😠 - If I hadn’t subscribed to CZcams premium, I wouldn’t want to watch it
Interesting but way to many adverts, just stopped watching in the end.
Names of the stations your entering would have been helpful. Assuming people know kind of limits your video viewing.
Well I have on the timelapse version. But it also has the name of stations as chapters on the watch bar.
Too many crap adverts!
quite a boring video,,,good for bedtime!!!!
Those rowdy teenagers in the background are the very reason that we need armed police and soldiers patrolling the Tube to raise standards of behaviour, since this is the consequences of abolishing corporal punishment in the home by parents and in schools, as well as by police officers
Okay buddy it’s time to take your medicine, okay?
@@vangledosh Two "okay's" in such a short sentence - time for your boiling water enema.
A tube driver who's not on strike?...
How very unusual...
No talking please
