Hi

The track is Joakim Karud - Show Love

Maybe is 717012,not 707012.Is a 717,not 707 operated by SE (formerly SWR)

dangerous

Geoff Marshall De nada! That was well deserved. Here’s to one million!

New trains are on order, but in their usual way the RMT are protesting about the guard situation. If I recall rightly the Victoria line in London hasn't had guards from day one, causing no fatalities.

Robert Rich I know that

Surrey Transport And Trains isle of wight!

Not having been to the Isle of Wight is a running joke- there's a video explaining it somewhere.

It was green screened

@@MercenaryPen I know that xD

@@MercenaryPen I'm aware of the running joke... Was referring to the miss spelling of wight. That was all. No offence meant.

Yes, they are still running on the Coastway service. They were refurbished so don't look nearly as shabby as the GN stock. No plans to replace them anytime soon.

I also saw a 313 today at Fratton. I think it was on the Portsmouth to Brighton service, but it was in the old blue BR livery!

its apparently been painted ready to go to a museum!

Merseyrail 507 stock?

TfL overground Enfield Town to Liverpool Street is also class 313 rolling stock but refurbished.

Strudlfaust true. The 313s were the first and only (before these new 717s) standard trains to go in the Moorgate tunnels

The Great Northern & City Line might have been run as part of the Northern Line, but the size of the tunnels are totally different. It's a real shame that the Northern Heights plan got scrapped: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_line#Great_Northern_&_City_Railway I'd like to see TfL have a *new* Northern Heights plan, with the underground stations on the Northern City Line all made longer and the Moorgate tunnels moved, so that the tunnels can extend south to Bank, Canon Street, across the Thames to London Bridge and off to somewhere useful in South East London.

Torjuz1337 the driver was distressed that the northern heights plan was dropped 20 years earlier so crashed? I don’t get that one

It was always intended that Moorgate would be linked to Finsbury Park using tunnels that were bored to accommodate standard gauge trains. However, the branch was operated by London Underground using tube stock, instead and formed the City Branch of the Northern Line. As someone who lived in the Essex Road area, I was a frequent user of the tube from this station and can well remember the large stations from, what seemed, another era and the seemingly diminutive trains.The tunnels between Drayton Park and Finsbury Park were closed in the mid 60's as part of the Victorial Line works and the GN platforms were adopted for use by southbound Piccadilly/Victoria Line trains. The tunnel portals at Drayton Park were clearly visible from the station platforms for many years subsequently. The rest of the branch was temporarily closed in 1975 prior to intoduction of the Great Nothern Electric service in 1976. The re-opening of the branch and introduction of the new service finally brought about the original vision for the line - running trains from the City into the northern London suburbs.

When it was originally constructed in the 1900s, the rail company that built it wanted to build a rail line that would come right into the City of London from Hertfordshire. They had a partnership with the LNER, or it's predecessor, to run services beyond Finsbury Park. But after the City of London objected to the plan to bring a large, although underground, station into the heart of the Square Mile (so the route was truncated at Moorgate), the other rail company backed out and it just became a short line between Finsbury Park to Moorgate, which then got taken over by the Metropolitan Railway. It then became a Metropolitan Line branch after 1933, with Metropolitan Line rail stock. It then got transferred to the Northern Line with the Northern Heights extension plan, with Standard Tube stock and that got swapped for 1938 stock before the line was transferred over to British Rail.

Hate these trains, currently on the Bedford - St Pancras line. Seats are the most uncomfortable on the network and the hardest. There is no ventilation, the air con is too cold or too hot. No tables. They sway and bump harshly and make me feel nauseaus.

Its london of course they get all the new stuff

Those 'Northern' trains in London are absolutely packed every morning. They definitely need to be upgraded.

'Hardly used'? These are rammed in rush hour, when a minor problem leaves stations packed because trains cannot clear them fast enough, even when running as frequently as possible. I understand Pacers are awful & used more heavily than designed but these should be replaced soon too.

They are new northern rail trains in 2020 for northern cities in the uk

@@gisar.6539 Northern Rail's new trains should have started to enter service by now, but like the 717s, they are late. Shouldn't be long now though.
