This helps since I live in Toronto

I love how what would become the northern line started at the southernmost part of the tube at that point

I would love to see a newer version of this that also includes other lines such as the overground, DLR, crossrail, maybe even other services such as Thameslink!

someone’s hacking their money in cities skylines to make this metro

London metro designers: throw cooked spaghetti on a map of London and make the tunnels based on that x

This video is my childhood, I watched this over and over again!

Geoff sir. I’ve seen a few of your videos and enjoyed everyone of them. All very interesting. Thanks for the hours of entertainment.

Love the Underground map. Brought up in London and lived & worked there until aged 28 Design is so clear and colour coded. Always found5 it so easy to follow in comparison with other international cities' transport system maps. . Thanks

Your contributions are always fascinating Geoff!

I don't know Geoff personally but I know he's a fan of the London tube. When I see this video I only have gratitude and appreciation in my mind. Thank you for your time, Geoff.

Absolutely enjoyed this, very helpful for an overview.

This video is amazing. It shows so much history and it’s so fun to watch.

New update video! Thanks, Geoff!

Great history and explanation. This video really makes me want to go to the London Underground in the next several months.

"All the tube map. All of it. All the tube map. All of it..." Sorry, wrong series!

WOW ! Great narration, too: very fast and enthusiastic as well as very clear ! Well done !

Great job! Thanks for sharing! It would be great to see how the Tube is planning to expand in the future

For anyone curious, all errors from the original have been erased. It is also now more up to date. Great video Jeff!!!

great to learn more about what I use everyday to commute. Thank you

All summarized, thanks for this great work.

I love this video, man - well done!

Thanks for this Geoff! I'm a great Underground history fan and this was very detailed. Cheers :)

Great video. Congratulations. Some extra info about the underground if you don't mind. The Underground network was a mix of private companies until its nationalization in 1933. The first cut and cover lines were created in a period of seven years. The subsurface, cut and cover lines are: Metropolitan line 1863 electrified in 1905. Hammersmith & City line 1864 electrified in 1906. The pneumatic line Waterloo and Whitehall Railway 1865-1867 failed financially. District line 1868 electrified in 1905, originally Metropolitan district railway. Circle line 1871 electrified in 1905, originally two separate lines that joined in 1949. For a period of at least three decades these lines were using steam trains. After 1906 all the Underground network with the subsurface and deep-level lines was electrified and steam was a thing of the past. Until then steam trains were used for 42 years in the Underground. Due to the smoke the lines had and still have many open to the air spaces. So they are not true deep-level Underground lines. Also even today on pavements can been seen the little holes the smoke was escaping. These holes are covered with thick glass today and are letting light to pass. The newest lines Jubille 1979 and Victoria 1968 are much younger than the next older Piccadilly 1906 and Bakerloo 1906 lines which were started both in 1906. For 62 years no new Underground lines were created. Instead older ones were extended constantly. The Metropolitan line 1863 had gas lighting units inside its carriages in order to be friendly and safe to the ladies. The Central Line was the first underground railway to have the station platforms illuminated electrically. All the platforms were lit by Crompton automatic electric arc lamps. During 1950's the wages of London Underground were very low and it was unfavorable by workers. So London Underground decided to massively employ immigrants from the Caribbean islands, India and Pakistan. Until late 1970's smoking was permitted inside the carriages of the underground. Until 1980's the Underground was full of advertisements for cigarettes.

I really love looking at those Undergroung maps that Geoff describes in the description.

Fantastic video, nice work Geoff! 🚇

Ayyy! Geoff's back on the tube game! Man I've missed you. Don't get me wrong, All the Stations was beyond amazing, but part of me always missed your tube-geekery content. Will your 'daily' vlogs be continuing by the way? Best content in my subscription box at the time :) Keep up the work, get yourself to 100k subscribers, too. You definitely deserve that. Cheers, Matt

This is just wonderful. Thank you. Any plans on extending it with the DLR and TfL Rail and any other changes/additions?

Thanks Geoff! this so helpful as someone who dont even live close to london let alone europe

excellent work. Thank you.

Nice overview. In 1968 the first underground line in Rotterdam (and The Netherlands) opened. Since 2009 it carries the (somewhat boring) name Line D and has the same blue colour as the Victoria line, which was opened in the same year.

I rode the tube for the first time a few moths ago, It is absolutely crazy. A few classmates of mine even got lost. The gap is also not that bad.

Welcome back and congratulations!

Excellent presentation. Fascinating!

I love this, with *clean simple graphics* & lovely *British voiceover narration* ‼️👍🏼🤩✨💖✨🏆✨👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

And thats how it looks today.... Recommended two years after release

Would love to see some kind of behind the scenes, video was amazing!

Awesome video, as always

Can you do the evolution of the Overground?

Anyone else notice the circle and Hammersmith and city lines fade in at the end?

Lived and born by South Acton station,it’s still fondly talked about today as well as photos and video on our We Love Acton FB site.RIP😢

Nice visual capsule history of the Underground evolution.

you will have to make an update video when the Elizabeth Line opens in 2095

Wahoo! Geoff brought it back, improved!

Miss London, only visited there twice, each only a day trip but using the trains and underground was so much. I must drop back over for a few days and really explore around

Amazing! I loved this video ☺️

All The Stations was fun, but its gonna be good to see you back on London stuff now, especially with the new crossrail (sorry, Elizabeth Line, should've been called Crossrail 1) trains already in service and the tunnels to be opening soon.

This makes my brain hurt.

Bro the editing is godly

Good old London Town, miss you so much. Am now in Australia and loving the beaches and of course great weather. Thanks for the memories in London.

Very nice video! I've been to London until Friday and it was so cool! I miss it so much! It's all so much more orderly than in Germany, for example the Tube/underground etc.... Greetings from Germany and it's cool to see the evolution of the London Underground!! :))

I got lost in this video just like how i got lost in the tube

Easily the quickest way to check on the Undergrounds various opening dates! Nice one Geoff!

fantastic video! thanks

Really interesting. Thanks for this, I love maps! Will you do an update with the Crossrail added when it's _finally_ finished?

These victorian's showing crossrail how it's done lol

Hi Geoff! Bonjour from Montreal. 🇨🇦 New here. I found your channel through « Ferrovipathe » from Paris. This is my 1st video watched. It will be my first time in London in August. Your channel will greatly help me plan my journeys. And I’ll definitely get in some “metro-ing.” Keep up the excellent work! ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thanks for existing Geoff!!!!! :-)

I love London underground 👏💕💕💕

Glad you made some corrections Geoff, but you didn't show the Jubilee terminating at Charing Cross and being abandoned, plus, did you miss the Bakerloo bifurcation at Baker Street to go to Stanmore?

great video geoff, i love your vids

So cool! Nice job!!

Great video showing the evolution of the underground - How did you do the animation? It's very polished.

Didn't explain the introduction of the Hammersmith and City and Circle line conversion from the Metropolitan line that would've been interesting

I found this strangely fascinating!

In 2021, The Northern Line extended finally to Battersea Power Station via Nine Elms.

Why am i here i am thousands of miles from London

It seems there's a lot of duplication of lines due to many companies. Imagine there is no underground, and you are the designer, knowing all the current and planned stations, how would your tube map look if there were no competing rail companies. Would you adopt a circular pattern, a starburst radiating out from a centre, or a spiderweb with radials and circles (extra points if you draw it :D ) You may add stations not even served, and may enlist the help of the tube map guy if you decide to draw it.

Very interesting and nicely done 👍

Well done buddy great explanation indeed!!

💘 love the london underground

I don't even know how Londoners use the tube - I find the seemingly simple Sheffield Supertram (alliteration!) complicated enough!.

Greetings from Monterrey, México Geoff!!!, I love your videos and watching them inspire me to create a project for my city

Very interesting. Thank you.

I am not British I do not live in london But I love watching london underground video

1:08 Geoff: In 1878, 1879 sign: *am I a joke to u?*

nice video! You should do another one of these soon

Really cool video. Now I know the history of the tube I use so much! Thank you for making this.😄😃

Westminster used to be above ground thats pretty surprising seeing as how deep it is now

Do you know how it would have looked if those pre-WW2 plans had come to fruition?

Awesome stuff. Both technically as a video production and how appropriately nerdy the subject matter is.

I ended up focusing on the Heathrow stations, for a tourist, very helpful - Tube already goes to terminal-5 = very important - Thank you :)

Geoff Marshall, what program do you use to do this map animation? I was hoping to do an animated timeline map of railways in Ireland.

Where’s the hammer smith and city line?

Omg thx soo much i love trains 💜💜💜

Nice video...... I give it 5 stars. Very detailed

You forgot Circle line and Hammersmith & city line

What animation software is used to create this?

That really was fascinating

Lovely informative graphic, Geoff.

Is there a version without the camera pans? This is great work, but the angle changes are unnessessary, distracting, and even disorienting. I get the urge to make it dynamic, but it's contrary to the entire purpose of the video. Reminds me a bit of how The Day Today took the piss out of news graphics, but minus the irony. (Sorry!)

and dublin just connected their two light rail lines.....2017

this is so fun to watch

Great vídeo mate!

Hammersmith & city line and the circle line?

where is the circle and Hammersmith and city line

@geofftech, I'd love to see a video like this showing the national rail network. Maybe not covering every line (that would take too long), but the main developments: single lines, expanding into regional networks, mergers, grouping, nationalisation.

Amazing, thanks. Love London.
