Yes it does. The trick is to always follow the signs for King's Cross rather than St Pancras as it will avoid the long tunnel

Hate it 😂

tonicdb and Bank

Ricardo US I hate Bank! I think I once walked around for what felt like days to change tube line.

It isn't named that by coincidence; the King has crossed you!

If you're referring to platform edge doors, they can't because a lot of the platforms aren't straight.

Dangerous saturation neccessitates new lines, you tellingly-hick dummy you.. .. . .

KWL Games Why can’t they make curved glass?

Why mustcha lousily mask your achey hickness, pray tell, hmmm.. .. . .

They => corporateers..who shan't coz they're t o o cheap..plus complicitly prescriptive media program _their_ sheepish flock by way of staged hand-wringing: Welcome to i m m o b i l i s m , enjoy your day now!

Double plus good idea.

😂

Finally someone making sense on the comments

And people say KZfaq comments are terrible.

And the "double plus good" from "Slartibartfast" was just the icing on the cake

It’s like that in any major city .. try getting on New York or Tokyo subway during rush hour

Paris’ an organisational joke, kinda of fun sometimes though.

Moscow handles rush hour crowd just fine

Ill do that with most videos like that... they tend to speak like its 2am and they fight yawning...

One of the reasons why I fully work remotely. Did the nightmare Jubliee line for 5 years and had enough.

I don't think you realise that increasing the number of trains that already run will cause congestion... They're doing the best they can - fewer trains will cause even more overcrowding, so basically you can't win if you will.

It's the 2nd most frequent metro line in the world though?

Not that they have enough trains to put on the line without the line becomming a constant traffic jam itself.

The Victoria line runs with 36 trains per hour. No way you can squeeze more.

@@albula642 more than that - they can run up to every 45 seconds

alot of these stations were built a very long time ago which worked fine in those days but inadequate in todays standard like everything else in london the buses the roads the trains lol

Also, tunnels become exponentially harder to bore as they get bigger. Small changes to size can mean massive increases to cost.

@@jamienice9163 doesn't help they've run out of space on the top either. The dont reallt think these things through properly either a lot of station cross over make one tunnel bigger have to make the other one bigger aswell. Eventually tfl will become useless with more delays more signal problems etc

because the line was bulit in the late 80s and its the tube

Because corporateers are too cheap to either lengthen or broaden the (late '60s/early '70s) platforms, or even bore new lines..they're m e d d l i n g with fire were you to ask me.. .. . .

Probably never be necessary there because they have much stronger bones. Express tracks and much larger trains.

Thought I was the only one 🤣🤣

Or 3 minutes and 20 seconds. Like normal people would talk about the time it takes.

SilverEye ffs it was a joke get a life

@@yorkshiret2807 Calm down mate. I'm not the one getting disproportionately angry at a youtube comment.

SilverEye just saying always one who kills a joke

Judging by his belt strap momentarily dangling before the lens here, that laughably lazy exhibitionist must've been spurred to d r a w l from having been successfully tossed or sucked off.. .. . .

heh heh..Canadians - as opposed to _Canadiens,_ right - tend to speak slow like he does, honestly.

They have added more trains. There is now 1 every 1-minute-and-40-seconds on the Victoria line. They can't do better than that. The District and Circle line tracks can't take as many as that, because of the complication of junctions and branch lines.

Too many trains causes congestion, and fewer trains will cause even more overcrowding, so they're doing the best they can

Cost. The jubilee line extenstion platform doors costed £80 million

+Isaac Orims that's why you always go against the signs outside of rush hour

The other day, the service was part-suspended due to a casualty on the track. That a good enough reason? You can literally just Google the service update, then you'll know if you can take an alternative route or not.

@@dez3540 You can't just google on the tube when there is no signal.

@@Mgameing123 Well obviously not if you're stuck in a tunnel, but you'd hope the driver would keep you informed as much as possible. There _is_ Wi-Fi at most Underground stations on the platforms, and at least they've now introduced 4G on part of the Central, Jubilee and Northern lines.

@@dez3540 I think the free Wi-FI is only on the aboveground sections but yeah 4G will come out over time but for now its gonna be a little tricky to search the reason for disruptions.

@@Mgameing123 Nah, you can use it on the platforms underground as well, I connect to it every time I pull into a station. I mean I always check the service update before I set off in any case, and if I'm due to change lines shortly, I usually check the service update again a few stops before. But I can't really say I've ever gotten stranded in a tunnel for longer than 10 minutes before... Maybe that's just luck, I dunno.

LOL @ you for living in london and not having a bike/motorbike

First surname Safer on the pavement than roads. Last year I lived there 6 cyclists were killed in 2 weeks and even if that is higher than average enough to show how dangerous it is on London roads. I remember being in South London lights on green and watched a cyclist taken out by a car who must have ignored the red light. Even on YT there is a vid of a geezer sat on a bike at a junction stationary and a copper drives right into him. I'll take my chances off the road.

You'd have to pretty much redig all the tunnels

Crumbling? London's transport network and infrastructures are WAY better than in any Western country

Richard Nixon have you seen the German rail state

Richard Nixon totally agree... the best network and cleanest I have seen

Imagine people thinking the London Underground is bad. Probably in the top 5. Now if you leave London then you shall know what crumbling means.

Cross rail opening soon will help ease congestion

Well you're talking out of your arse, London is nowhere the most densely populated city in the world. Hell, it doesn't even rank that highly against European cities

Whilst that may work for the morning rush hour which tends to be pretty short, the evening rush hour in London lasts about 4 hours due to so many people working longer days.

Audicula with that amount of passengers, trains will delay more frequently. Trains end up in tunnels waiting for the next train to depart. Problem unsolves.

The lines are operating at capacity in the peaks. The Victoria has recently gone up to 36 trains per hour. It took a lot of upgrade work to achieve that. They aren't going to be able to do better.

Too many trains would just cause congestion is the long & short of it

It needs new lines before rehabilitation of the old ones can occur..corporateers are merely c h e a p . . . . . .

It's getting new lines...

Its had one new line since 1968 (the Jubilee) and Crossrail isnt really a tube line, given the limited stops through the city.

Neither regional Crossrail nor the stubby Battersea spur'll solve the likes of Victoria's dangerous bottlenecks. London shouldn't have halted boring new lines, Paris hasn't.. .. . .

Unfortunately its simply not politically acceptable to continue to build more tube lines. Its that simple.

Khan is a very common surname you know.

Best of luck driving into Victoria in the rush-hour.......

drive in london, that's hilarious LOL

T cas Frosticar you will achieve a Parked car.

T cas Frosticar the Dutch way would be better, bikes.

Underground stations are crowded in every city, nothing new. The problem is the Victoria line was built on the cheap in the car friendly 1960s and wasn't future proofed for how busy it would end up being

Because lot of Indian are living there..so you should shame on this.

Pardon?

so when the immigrants are gone and population increases cure to higher birth rates then who's to blame. stop scapegoating immigration when the problem is world wide. overpopulation. but don't worry i have a plan. more gay people. if the world had more gay people there would be less babies being born. because gay people can't have babies. therefore gay people are saving the world. hurray for the gays. 3 cheers for all the gays.

@@TheWeepingDalek you are an idiot.

Actually all Elizabeth Line trains were built by Bombardier in their Derby Works. Oh yeah just accept the fact that the UK is not a pure white country anymore.

That's so edgy!

@@jonathanbayley1551 Thank you

Well that's nice and twattish of you

@@Charlzton I try...

@TC G I don't live in London.

Seems like you're very unlucky if the service is always so poor when you use it.

Who will do the work?

natives that have been denied access to jobs due to affirmative action in favour of minorities, do some research

burnzy3210 then prices go up. Plenty of immigrants do great hard work because they grew up that way. Yes every culture should be preserved however to say that immigrants only have jobs because of quotas is ridiculous. Btw no there wouldn’t be heaps of room if immigrants moved out because more country people would move in.

Saying that compamys don't have employment quotas is also ridiculous. People are being side lined because companies don't want to seen as racist or sexist. It's called Equality of Outcome.

Cartoonman154 when did I say they don’t have quotas? I said they’d still employ immigrants even if there were no quotas because certain groups have better work ethics. East Asians and Indians work like machines and don’t expect a raise unless they really deserve it. In the US, Mexicans who work on farms are much faster at picking fruit and veg and accept lower pay, so that everyone can have cheap fruit and veg. Not everything is entirely about quotas. This is about population. The UK actually could house everyone easily, there’s already enough bedrooms for everyone. People just congregate in London too much. People need to spread out. Even if all immigrants leave London, rural English people would then move into London because the north has unemployment issues. The trains being inadequate isn’t a good reason to tell natives to have less kids. You can organise cities to be more efficient. Such as have more bus lanes and bike lanes. Get rid of cars completely. Build taller buildings, have shops and jobs within a 300 metre radius of any residence. Just things like that will keep congestion down.
