In this video you will learn how the oldest subway in the world - the London underground - expanded. And also you will see the history of the London Overground, DLR, Croydon tram, Emirates Air line and Crossrail.
It took 710 hours to create this video. This is the most difficult of all the videos I've done. Therefore I am sincerely grateful to you for watching it, and even more grateful if you watched it from beginning to end.

Awesome. London is a world in itself, and the rail network makes it incredibly accessible. I love travelling in London, and it's the ease of getting around on the rail network that really pulls me in. Can't wait to get back there and continue exploring. So much of the rest of the country doesn't know what it means to be 20 mins walk or less from a rail station, and then being able to access the entire city in an hour at speed, without getting rained on! No parking worries, and an easy trip back home. Love getting around on the tube and rail in London.

You NEED to do an updated version in a few months with TFL Rail turning purple and becoming Crossrail/the Elizabeth Line. It would have a rather nice symmetry to it, considering how the video begins with a new purple line under central London that goes east-west to Paddington. But either way, this is an absolute masterpiece!!! Geoff will have no trouble admitting it puts his version to shame.

Interesting, though the terminology used where LPTB/TfL taking over a previous BR line as "Opened" is a bit misleading. You stated that TfL took over the Trams, for example but you describe the transfer of the Liverpool Street line to Shenfield from Greater Anglia to MTL operating as TfL Rail as "opening". Odd.
