Its good in terms of frequency and coverage, but it does cost about twice as much as in Australian cities if not more, and the capping is more complicated/less of a deal. Daily cap for the entire state of Victoria is around $9AU, or £4.50!

Berlin U and S are better fully accesible with lifts form platform to the street. Very efficient due to not having turnstiles or barriers of any kind , you buy a 7 day ticket put in the wallet and forget it. And the transfer stations are a Marvell of efficiency your train is just at other side of the platform. Paris is a little confusing and full of stairs but stations are very close, to each other, not need to walk that much.

I watched a ton of your videos before our trip to London in March 2023. They were very helpful. The biggest problem I had with the tube was that not every station has an elevator (lift) or escalator. My step daughter and I found ourselves lugging our luggage up and down several flights of stairs before we really explored the maps in the stations and realized we had to seek out those stations.

Most tourists don't realise that Brits who don't live in London often end up scratching their heads with this as well, since no other city in the UK has an underground system. But Londoners are always happy to help, as long as you ask someone who doesn't look like they're in a hurry!

I dont think there is an actual London Tube map, some maps include all services in London, some include tube & London overground but not national rail. I only noticed this when the Liverpool street to Cheshunt through Tottenham sever sisters was switched from national rail to London overground when Boris was London mayor, while the adjacent line Liverpool street to Cambridge via Tottenham Hale is normally not included in London maps.

The Elizabeth Line isn't classed as part of the underground because it uses a lot of existing national rail stations. The Elizabeth Line (or crossrail as it was originally called) was basically a way of connecting a number of existing separate rail lines into one.

THat was really well said. I am a Londoner who has used The Tube for most of his 68 years and it has been excellent. I, rarely, ever have had to wait more than a few minutes and when I lived in the heart of Inner London,I never bothered to drive as it was so convenient with 272 Stations. In OUTER London The North, East, and West are served much better than THe South of London(logistical reasons). FUN FACT. Did you notice right at the end,that during daylight, Cars can be parked facing either direction as per 9.08 of THe 9.21 Video:)

I have family in London so they gave me a lesson on using tube including citymapper and it was invaluable. One time I went out the wrong exit at Swiss Cottage but I asked a policeman's advice and it was great. Note to other autistics I carry a card with my London family phone numbers on it as an emergency. Looking forward to doing a solo trip in May using the Elizabeth line from Heathrow terminal 5.

The signs are excellent and almost always positioned in the most logical places for where you'll be looking or may be confused. The style guide TfL uses to make sure all signs are consistent is immense (I think you can download it and it's fascinating) and in many ways we're considered the benchmark for other city metro systems on how to create maps and signage. It is very easy to get around and most Londoners are friendly and will help (as will staff). Sure, you may not get much of a conversation going on a train and people will be stuck into their phones or listening to their music on noise cancelling headphones, but elsewhere you'll be all good!

As someone who comes from an area with almost no mass transit to speak of, and never used an underground before in my life, the Tube was easy-peasy. The hardest part at first was just determining whether I needed eastbound or westbound to get from where I was to where I wanted to be. Super easy to get the hang of it, though. And don't be afraid to ask the TFL folks for help. Without exception, every one of them I spoke to was incredibly pleasant and helpful.

Good job! A couple of things maybe would need added. The whole "..bound" concept, as is North, South, East, West ..bound is really key to heading down the right tunnel / escalator etc to the platform, but I don't know of anywhere else, certainly not in Europe, that does it that way .. and although it's kind of obvious in a way, I've know a lot of visitors who don't really grasp it to begin with and try to work with destination stations instead. Also perhaps worth mentioning that some stations, most importantly Covent Garden, are only accessible by elevator and also some may not always be open .. and also the big differences in depths of the tunnels and train sizes on the different lines.

This is my 4th visit to London since 2016 & gotta say of ALL the videos I’ve seen yours are by far the easiest to understand and have the most reliable info ! My first trip I was 55 and alone ( still travel alone ) I was so intimidated I used black cabs everywhere! Even back to Heathrow ( about 200$!) I was so scared of trying this by myself . In 2017 I stayed in Airbnb w a Londoner who said I’d never enjoy London without using the tube and or bus- so I did- this is my second huge lesson - stay inside zone 1 - I stupidly wanted to stay near portobello road - bc of the “famous” antiques there & online?( big mistake ) I had to travel in “ city of London” from queens park station that was 20 min walk from my Airbnb! It took me 40min every am and pm to get to London and back - my phone went dead from using maps constantly! I learned quickly to always always have a backup battery to prevent having to go all the way home bc those ideas if charging phones in Starbucks ? Everyone else is planning the same ! Lol! Last year bc of your videos I stayed in a recommended (by you )hotel -“ the resident Victoria “ about 2 blocks from the palace and near EVERY THING!!( best hotel in London imho) this made me finally fall in love w London- I had previously spent most of my time in Oxford and only went to London a day or 2 bc of that 1st experience. If you are older American & travel alone , this is the best way to plan your trip ! I plan to use every day of my London time in different zones this year / I want to see battersea , and areas like Neal’s Yard (that I’m not sure is I’m Covent garden ?) Anyway I wondered if your 5 , 6 day plans were divided by zones or areas? Bc I would much rather do it that way then go back and forth ! I’m staying in downtown Zone 1 again but an Airbnb ( bc I really want a bathtub !) ❤near Maunsel Street ( Covent garden ?)

If you don't have an app, it's still pretty easy to find your way on the tube. The way-finding signs in stations are very clear and self explanatory, and even if you get a bit lost you can just catch a train back or change your route along the way, as there are often several options.

I went to London for the first time in 1988! Since then I’ve been 4 or 5 times and love it and the Brits…my first excursion on the Tube was a scary experience but once you get used to the stations/Districts, it’s so easy…Mind The Gap!…my only problem was at that time Portobello was in the next district so when I came up from the The Tube, I was met by Police telling me I owed an additional 10 pounds because I was outside my ticket’s limit…your video was fun, thank you for helping all of us…everything practically sparkled is was so modern and clean! Wish I could hop on a plane go again! (I’m A Southern Californian gal)

I’m guessing it probably wasn’t the “Police” .. they’ve probably got other things to be doing, and it’s anyway not quite a criminal offence to be riding outside your ticket boundaries .. you won’t get wrestled to the ground and tasered for that 😅

I live up north but love going to London as much as possible (usually 4 times a year) the last time I went 3 weeks ago I was asked how to get to certain tube stations especially ones close to Buckingham palace, Downing Street and Westminster abbey (which are all within walking distance of each other to be fair) I must look like a Londoner 😎 I love helping people out whether is giving directions, carrying a buggy/pram up steps or as in the case of someone asking if I had "a light" ? To which I replied "sorry I'm don't wear a watch" I can't get enough of the place

Thank you for mentioning some disabilities are not visible. Also always tap out even if exit is open and always use the same card throughout the day (whether on tube or bus). Plus as with Paris Metro some stops can have significant walks between lines. Finally there are a couple of very useful connections where say 2 popular southbound lines are on adjacent platforms which make the connecting so much easier (though can’t remember which stations !)……And Elizabeth is so much bigger/more spacious than regular tube. That’s all folks 😊

Great video, Jess! This will be our first time riding the Tube when we go for our 48 hour excursion to London during our two week trip to Paris with our teen. She'll be 15, so thanks for the reminder to get the young visitor discount. I'm pretty good using public transit in general, rode the Paris métro during our honeymoon trip there in 2007 and it was pretty easy, took the right branch on line 13 to get to Saint-Denis! I practically grew up in the métro here in Montreal, lol! So the end cars are quieter, eh? Good, that'll make it easier to photograph the Tube stocks arriving at the stations we ride in. Cheers!

Try to avoid riding during the busy morning and evening commute times if you can. The corridors, platforms, and trains will be packed with people. When I visit, I try to avoid the Tube till around 9:30AM and from around 5-7PM.

Vienna has a familiar underground system like London (different lines where some are crossing and so on) or like standing on the right side while walking on the left. The only thing they don't have in vienna is with the barriers at every station. There are little machines where you put part of your ticket inside and it makes a stamp when the Ticket started to being used. And I reliefed that you can pay with debitcard (Mastercard for me) because I wasn't sure if I should get Travel or Oystercard...some websites say Travelcard 7-day might be good if you stay in London for 7 Days (which I will be) others say Oystercard is better. I will see how it will be going for me. It's first time traveling alone😁

Great video. I have been to London twice in the last year. I have an oyster card but like the different ways you can pay. It’s fairly easy once you get it. I downloaded the Tfl to go app and it is great. Yes google maps do the same thing. I did take the bus more on my last trip in October because I wasn’t in a rush and you get to see sights.

Australia doesn't have anything similar to the Tube, but as my introduction to such underground systems was in Moscow and Beijing, I found the London Tube really easy as everything is in English!!! If you can't read English just do as I did in Bucharest, Romania, and count the stops!
