The relevant "Pre-Grouping Atlas" and "Railway Junction Diagrams" pages would make things even clearer - each map tells a slightly different story to give a clear overall understanding.
@@2H80vids A good question, which I have pondered about myself before as a possible reason why it hasn't been done. I am only guessing. However I see lots of other images (e.g. old photos) appear on videos by Jago and others, and I have seen maps on other sites (and the Underground strip map and Regents Canal map on Jago's) so I assume it is possible. It may require permission and acknowledgement. I don't know if a fee would be requested, and would hope that it is low or zero since this is essentially a non-profit channel. However, just 2 books (Pre grouping atlas and Railway Junction diagrams) would cover most foreseeable situations where a map is needed.
Congratulations on getting to 75,000. Love your content especially this style with the history of why these lines were built and the politics involved. Here's to 100,000!
I was going to write regarding the 'Calculating Boy' nickname, "those Victorians and their cunning names for things", but then realised that Bidder was a child before Victoria came to the throne, and "those Hanoverians and their cunning names for things" just doesnt have the same ring about it. Well at least we got a map, of sorts :) Well done for 75k, well deserved.
I remember using the DLR back in the 80's when the Canary Wharf site was still being built. Tower Gateway was the station, long before Bank station. The trains used to stop at some parts along the route at the station points before they had been built. The majority of passengers were builders. I think it went from Tower to Island gardens. I used to get off at Crossharbour. Again long before all the redevelopment got going near that part of the line.
It sounds like the journey I made several times probably around May 1990, when I worked IIRC near Crossharbour for a couple of weeks. I don't think I have ever been on the DLR since, unless I used it to get to the now demolished Docklands Arena once - I think I only went there once, but have no memory of how I traveled to it.
2:47 Oh, he was _that_ Bidder. I'd heard of the boy famous for his arithmetical capability, and wondered what happened to him. Glad he achieved success in later life.
About gauge: In an old copy of the Model Engineer an old gent wrote that his grandfather had been the Stephenson's works manager. He told the grandson that the gauge had originally been five feet as the wheels had their flanges on the outside of the track: when the flanges went inside the gauge deducted two track thicknesses to get what would become standard gauge.
Thank you for the little visual joke at 11:50. (for the less observant you said 'sic transit gloria mundi' - always a good line in any case - and then cut to a shot of ... a Ford Transit) What fun you must have editing these little entertainments! Just one question: how did you know the Transit was sick?
An excellent episode, I giggled quite a few times. I'm tired and stressed, the weather's miserable and I've got an eight hour shift to look forward to (in Sainsbury's, in December, during a pandemic, lord help me!) So this is balm for the soul. ❤
Yeah, pretty much! At least in Bedlam the inmates were locked up, as opposed to roaming free, causing havoc and coughing with neither face covering nor a hand over their mouths. (Those people are the worst, it was bad enough pre-covid, now it should be certifiable.)
My daughter, when she was little, couldn't say balm. She always said blam! So don't forget your lip blam Sapphire! And hope your shift is smooth! With a capital SMOO.
Some of our essential workers are more unsung than others ... all the best to you and your colleagues. And also to carers etc who have slogged on through the pandemic but have had relatively little attention.
Thank you for a well researched piece here, very interesting. Over 40 years back I took a bus rover day trip trying to explore the outer eastern reaches of the London and Blackwall Railway. The whole area was very different to how it is today - an industrial wasteland, more akin to a collection of bomb sites and derelict factories.
24th of July - 1,000 subscriber special 30th of July - 10,000 subscriber special 16th of October - 50,000 subscriber special 4th of December - 75,000 subscriber special That is some crazy growth
There was a hiccough in August, so he was a couple of weeks late reaching 25,000, but growth has exploded since then and back in August I would never have guessed that he would add 50,000 subscribers between early September and the start of December.
When I was first recommended a video by CZcams, he was at 2000. When I got around to watching it (and subscribing) he was at 7000 or so, and something like the next day or two he was at 10.000. Crazy.
@@fnordpojk I think it was about 650. Funny we will all go nostalgic about "what was the first Jago Hazzard video you watched, and PS the route diagram needs to be done for the whole network, so much better than Beck.

On the subject of river pirates, I recommend going to the River Police museum in Wapping next time it’s open. Lots of stories about boarding actions and piracy
Wow, that sounds like an interesting place! Have they a web site? Visited the Museum of London many years ago and was amazed by their collection of "stuff" fished out of the Thames. (I live in Oz) 🙃
That was 18 miles well spent. This is precisely the minutiae of detail we need to know that transcends what the tourists get. It takes it up a level- all thoroughly fascinating. My ears pricked up at the mention of the Eastern Counties Railway. They took over the Northern & Eastern Railway on Jan 1st 1844. The N&E ran from London to Bishops Stortford by 1842. Both used 5 feet gauge, but in Sept 1844 both systems were converted to standard in just one month. This is the height of railway mania, and it’s all so wonderfully messy.
My London sojourn included the time when they were building the DLR and I was delighted that they reused the old viaduct down the Isle of Dogs (one of the stations was called Mudchute). I think that it has meanwhile been redecommissioned.
The Stratford to North Woolwich line would be an another interesting topic in the same part of London. Just the old North Woolwich station alone has an interesting history - it was used for a rather quirky little museum during my childhood years. Congrats on 75k subs.
Well Done That Man! Feel free to self-indulge, Master Jago. It's always a pleasure to find your new contributions. Thank you from St Helena, Downunder. 😉
Jago produced a great map! Well done! The stations were getting definetely confusing having same names but being in different places! I wonder if anyone lived long enough to constantly be using old railway and started using DLR.
I really enjoyed the sketch map. :) I use the dlr from city airport to bank almost daily and love looking out the window as i pass. I screen shot the map so i can try finding the locations on route. :)
Congratulations Mr Hazzard! - as an antipodean who lived in London during the 2000's your videos bring back fond memories. I was fascinated by the train systems in London. I was always puzzled by the weird line that bisects Gladstone park near where I lived in Dollis Hill. For a long time I thought it was an abandoned line but - I did see a couple of goods trains go through as I crossed the footbridge in the south wast corner on the way home - strange to see in the suburbs.
I read on a railway forum. The GER operated the Loughton/Epping/Ongar service from Fenchurch Street until these were withdrawn with the opening of the Central line of the London underground. The longer and additional platform at Fenchurch were for the LNE trains; the service between Fenchurch Street and the Loughton line caused major problems at Stratford, where they had to cross the GER main Colchester line to take the Loughton branch. The Fairlop loop line (which came off the GER main line where the current Ilford emu car sheds are located) services also originated at Fenchurch Street. When they re-modelled Stratford for the Central line, they built two bay platforms (one currently used by the DLR), for a planned shuttle service between Fenchurch Street and Stratford to connect with the Central line to Loughton/Epping, were for a time you changed to steam operation to complete your journey between Epping and Ongar. However, although the platforms were built, the track and service was not instigated. I thought you had done a video on Fenchurch Street Station, but I cannot find it
I remember finding you when you were at the 200 mark and thinking why such a low number of subscribers? Anywhere here you are at 75k and your postings just get better and better ❤️🙏
Congratulations 🥳 on reaching 75k and now on to 100k and the magical play button. Another interesting video thanks for sharing and hope you have a great weekend
Wonderful! A full thirteen minutes of history to start my day...and several topics for possible future videos into the bargain (river pirates?). Congratulations on the 75,000 subscriber milestone. 👍
Congrats on getting to 75k, that's not easy! A lot of hard work, especially during this period. Keep it up, no doubt you will get to 100k in short order! Wow, Geoff Marshall also does transport around London and UK, and he's at 210k and been doing videos a long time, your quickly gaining on his tracks! Also, I've noticed some of your more recent videos have been 1080p, so I suspect you have a new phone, and some of these recent videos include older footage before the upgrade. Love it!
Well done on the milestone! Great to see a glimpse of my old neighbourhood around Neutron Tower though I have fond memories of Leamouth Peninsula as a brownfield site; still can’t imagine it build upon ... Maybe a video about/including some of the remaining infrastructure of East India Dock?
Congratulations and thanks for keeping me informed and entertained, it's great to see your viewer base rise so quickly. Minories/Mineories will always bring back memories.
Blackwall/Virginia Quay, the place from where the Virginia Company settlers set sail on December 20, 1606 for Virginia and the establishment of Jamestown in May 1607.

Congratulations, and thank you for your hard work making this video! The London & Blackwall is one of my favourite railways, after having only learned about it earlier this year. I think I may have found your channel via your video "Millwall Leviathan," when trying to learn more about the Millwall Extension Railway. Good job for just sticking to the main line...trying to understand all the permutations and combinations of services along the line run by the North London Railway, Great Eastern Railway, and the London, Tilbury & Southend is mind-boggling. That being said, the LT&SR does (of course) form another tangible, continuous link from the L&B's ancient past to the present. And at the point where you said that transportation would be "key" to Docklands redevelopment...was that another pun? ("Quay"?)
Great video as always! I would love to see a video about the Eastern counties railway. I have found it quite confusing when reading about it but your videos break down complex info quite well
Sic transit gloria mundi indeed! A fantastic video - 75,000 subscribers is richly deserved! You should do the Surrey iron railway at some point - there are still a ‘few’ remnants about (notably a bridge by the Starbucks in hooley.)
Fascinating that the history of the pioneers of railway were kind of winging it as there was no blueprint to go off. Bit like the Internet in its early days. And congratulations Jago on 75k. Look forward to seeing you reach 100k on your way to the 1M.
Most enjoyable but so confusing (like most Lunnon railways). The thought of a freight railway along Commercial Road blows my tiny mind! As a former HGV 1 Driver the chaos would be awesome to have beheld. Thanks for this one Mr Hazzard, a line that has been of interest for many years but so little written about. Congratulations on 75k, Onward (SER motto) toward the 100K! Thanks again.

Found the use of the hand drawn map useful. More use of maps to give overall location, would be even more useful. Keep up the good work.
I like the fact that he acknowledged how confusing all of this was. Looking forward to the supplementary video he suggested
I am going to copy that map, if that is ok? I have ancestry down there in the Victorian era, who must had lived through all that development.

Your content and presentation leave me in a puddle of delight. Psst... It's a good thing!:-) 🖖
Thank you for the Pre Cineworld pictures. I really like hearing about the silly and pointless deals that railway companies made in the 1800s and 1900s
Sic transit gloria mundi indeed!
A fantastic video - 75,000 subscribers is richly deserved!
You should do the Surrey iron railway at some point - there are still a ‘few’ remnants about (notably a bridge by the Starbucks in hooley.)
Congratulations on the milestone
75K subscribers - Woooooo ! Woooooo ! as the old steam trains used to go ! Well done !
Fascinating that the history of the pioneers of railway were kind of winging it as there was no blueprint to go off. Bit like the Internet in its early days.
And congratulations Jago on 75k. Look forward to seeing you reach 100k on your way to the 1M.
Morning Jago! Well done on 75k
Very informative. Thank you.
Most enjoyable but so confusing (like most Lunnon railways). The thought of a freight railway along Commercial Road blows my tiny mind! As a former HGV 1 Driver the chaos would be awesome to have beheld. Thanks for this one Mr Hazzard, a line that has been of interest for many years but so little written about. Congratulations on 75k, Onward (SER motto) toward the 100K! Thanks again.
If you look up 'Old Deptford history', you can see pictures of the freight trains that used to run down the middle of Grove Street.
Really love the little annotations you put on the videos (pre-Cineworld made me lol)
