Lets appriciate that a guy off of KZfaq with a camera in hand is interviewing the Mayor of London and chatting with the BBC staff who are making content. This is truly the future of content. Passionate individuals making amazing content!

Geoff sharing the train with a BBC Official and has seen the Mayor. Flying with the big leagues 🔥

As a former motorman, I was hoping you'd raise the question of where the operator puts his tea mug. Non-specialists have this weird idea that trains run on steam diesel or electric. They don't they run on tea and coffee.

The buttons are for when the train is standing in a terminus station. It allows the doors to close in order to maintain the interior temperature of the tube trains.

I do have to say I really like these new trains. The only thing that makes me a bit sad is that they are replacing the rolling stock on four different lines which means that there will be at least less variety on the underground. But for normal commuters and travellers I really see a big improvement of comfort.

In your life, interviewing a mayor can be a huge achievement. As always, love your train videos and I’d watch them anyday. You’ve really made it big as a train you tuber.

Not a train fanatic by any means but love Geoff’s enthusiasm, presentation and editing!! Awesome stuff!

05:00 the buttons are for the Londoners to see who the tourists are!

Been watching for years and so proud and happy of where you have taken the channel!

I'm not from UK but I was in London in 2019, I really like trains, specially the underground trains, I'm happy to met the 72' and 73' tube stocks, old but I really enjoyed riding on them. I love your content (I also using for improve my English haha, sorry if I made grammar mistakes) Greetings from Spain!

My only critique is that the windows make me feel like I'm on a plane with how small they are, but overwise they're gonna be a wonderful addition to London's rail fleets.

I really appreciate that the look of the trains is not too different from the old ones

I think the door buttons are there in case TfL wants to use the feature that S stock uses, namely if no one passes through the doors after a certain period of time (especially at termini), the doors will close to save on heating and cooling costs but passengers can push the button to open them again. Thameslink does that in the core section as well, in that the doors open automatically but if the train is waiting, they'll close automatically if no one uses them after a certain period of time

The smirk on Geoff’s face as he thinks: yeah, I know all this mate! However - when the Met line train is at the terminus at Watford they shut the doors and you need to press the button to open the doors to get on.

I must say, I am truly impressed with the aesthetics of the mock-ups. Very prestigious vibe to them. I was quite underwhelmed with the Bombardier designs in contrast. Although the TfL seat moquette design is a huge disappointment. The one by Siemens themselves looks way more neat and professional in my opinion.

4:50 the buttons are used to lock carriage doors on the S-stock now that the trains have no space between them for a button in the connector section. Also the doors close if a train is sitting at a station (like Watford or Ealing Broadway) to help the Air Con.

00:07 that freaky "breathing" thing that the Piccadilly line moquettes do...

The new trains look gorgeous! Hard to believe the Piccadilly trains are nigh on 50 years old, they look decades newer than the bakerloo trains that's for sure...

How wonderful and great for Pic. worker and users. Being a retired member of London Underground staff and working at Cockfosters I am delighted to see these improvements to the trains. It’s a win win situation. Love this video.

The new trains look really nice! I can't wait to see them in service!

Pressing the door button on the Circle/District line air conditioned trains, opens the doors if they have closed to maintain the temperature at a station, but not if they have closed because the train is departing.

Some great interviews Geoff! Brilliant to see where this channel is growing!

Will Wilson seems like a wonderful bloke! Very enthusiastic 👍🏻 Another great video, Geoff! Thank you!

I’ve been waiting for this video for really long time

Really needs it, looking foward to seeing ATO on the Piccadilly Line! It's going to increase capacity and it's going to be much more comfortable!

Out of all the places they could had put on their destination screen, they put Cockfosters! Lol great video Geoff and be interesting to see them on service in the future... NTFL could be one of those London Underground versions of a NFT lol

Love the fabric and such a great wee film, thanks Geoff

Best interview I have ever seen of Seimen’s Will Wilson- he is a very charismatic leader …. takes Interviewer skills to capture that aspect- Great Show

Ah finally. Living on the piccadilly line has been getting boring waiting for these new trains. Cant wait to take them

Good to see this in Goole. It's always been a bleak location there between the levels and the humber, but the economic life of the place has dwindled for decades as the port declined.

Really enjoyed that! Thanks for posting 😊

Love the video, and the fact that BBC London had to wait! Your so enthusiastic 🤩

Going to have to keep an eye on Tom's BBC London report to see if Geoff gets a cameo...

Impressive I live in goole and I would have never thought if my 40 years living here that a big company like Siemens were coming here. Awesome video as always!

Thankyou for creating this video. Awesome

I hear it's 9 car trains with 5 bogie and 4 hover carriages. Also we should really note that the new train's air-conditioning filters are going to clean the air of the entire tunnels! It'll be amazing 😍

I remember watching a documentary called ‘Going Underground’ where certain drivers had to go to EBay in order to source parts for trains and I was happy to see the updated Cab.

To be fair the "nearly as old as me" joke was pretty hilarious

You have come a long way Geoff. Well done!

2:45 . It's a mirror Geoff!!

Absolutely brilliant video interviewing someone from BBC and the Mayor of London, doesn’t get any better then that! I did however find it rather funny when you asked the Mayor when will Crossrail be opening! Lol 😂

I remember see the these renders back in 2015, it is a huge relief that they are finally going to be made and these trains look superb, this is what London needs right about now.

Another very interesting London Transport video from Geoff. His enthusiasm is catching.

1:36 that dirt mound on the left is erm... flattering 😳

I still remember the ‘new tube for London’ advert from TFL before they unlisted it. It’s nice to see the new futuristic trains become a reality in this video!

Brilliant vid thanks Geoff. And wow, you survived the Mayor's extreme politician hand jiving at 9:00 - think you should have had PPE goggles - that could've taken an eye out.

I enjoy your enthusiasm! Well done.

I love so much your videos of the tube of London :) Really good job for interviewing the mayor of London !

I do prefer the original moquette - it has a nice sense of speed and direction.

Thank you for the video, that was brilliant.

Excellent report Geoff. Don't get see much London news since we 200 miles north to Merseyside from south of the Thames. Be interesting to see how the fit, finish, reliability and performance of these Siemens built trains compares with the Bombardier S7 & S8 stock. If it's been like most of their other trains like the SWT 444s and 450s, they'll work pretty well straight from the box.

Seems like everything has a "Star Trek feel now" First the Lumo uniforms, now these trains.

So excited to see these coming into service. I'm always worried by the way the Piccadilly train doors seem to open before the train has fully stopped! Oh, and yes, do a boats video (please try to get them to extend the operating hours of the RB6)

Good to see you Geoff - im a Londoner living LA.I miss the tube....the angel and embankment my old haunts. Cheers

Well Done, a good insight. Thanks Geoff.

I’ll miss the older trains when they go but I guess all good things must come to an end!

These trains are so beautiful compared to my soulless stainless steel trains of New York City. The tube trains have so much character and pop to them

The buttons are most likely to keep the doors closed unless pressed like some overground trains I guess. Useful when it's cold outside and if you're air conditioning and no one needs to enter or exit from the door, then it will keep the carriage temperature as it is (either cool or warm) without letting the energy escape.

🥺🫂 you and sadiqs conversation is the most wholesome thing ever

Great interview with the Major very professional 👍

We need a sitcom about Geoff and Tom from the BBC's relationship hahaha. Tom always looks sick to see Geoff but I bet he admires him deep down.

I'm glad Tom said it went Star Trek-like. I'm glad I wasn't the only one.

Such good material.I love it!

You said they were going to build half of the trains but you didn't say whether it was the top half or the bottom half.

They look very similar to the new underground trains that Glasgow got. Great to see investment in manufacturing coming back to the UK!

Fantastic video Geoff! Really enjoyed it 👍🏻😀

Great looking, well done Siemens. !! 😊👍🇬🇧

Wow, what a facility! And my goodness those are handsome trains, and they look great in the TFL red white and blue 😎 I know he has his critics, but the Mayor had outlined precisely why this is such a great project all round. Why throw money abroad for a cheap deal and line the pockets of those who already have plenty when instead, you can invest in your own country and spread the wealth a bit? I love that this is benefitting people outside of London too 👍 It will be a shame to see those trains go, as I have been using them for 40 odd years. I remember how modern they looked as an 8 year old when o travelled on them for the first time, and how amazing they looked when they were refurbed, but all good things come to an end 🤷🏻‍♂️ One thing that made feel really old was when you talked about replacing the Central line and W&C stock. In my mind they are still ‘new’…but then that’s because in my unconscious mind, 1992 was only about fifteen years ago 😂 Cheers Geoff, great stuff fella 👍🍀🍻

All I can say is “At Last!” These trains will be a great welcome on the Piccadilly line as the current trains are way past their best. Even better they are made in the UK.

You should see the underground in Berlin. They have modern tubes too like the one in this Vid. Berlin is in my bucket list one day.

About time for some new tube trains! Top video Geoff.

I was surprised when you said that the new Tube trains were going to be built in their own factory. I almost thought they were going to be assembled at the standard Krefeld, Germany or Vienna, Austria plants. I'm already excited to see the first of these trains undergo testing even if we are just at the mockup stage. :)

4:05 my sheer disappointment when I find out the seat design in the video isn’t gonna make it to production. The design is so simplistic and minimalistic, what a shame 😔

Really cool video Geoff those tube trains are going to look great when they are built and finish testing great too hear that they will be the first tube train model with AC

You’ve got yourself a new subscriber! Great video, Geoff

Side note: i love the new like button animation. Gorgeous video

The main issue is, the new Tube trains are bring made in Yorkshire, but West Yorkshire still doesn't have a mass public transport system :( living out my dream through London Tube videos until I hopefully come there for uni next year!

Geoff what a great insight into the future, cant wait to see the new trains in real life

Sweet!can’t wait for it

Can't wait to see these at my local station :)

Great video, love the passion. I think the question we all want to know is if they are going to reduce the journey time? If they can move faster without producing more heat that would be a great improvement

Always interesting seeing the cars as they are designed and the factory.

Brilliant, collaboration for success...

You have done a lot to inform public about the London transport and uk transport network.

Great video Geoff. Thanks for letting us see the new NTFL. Love the new moquette. And will look forward to the aircon! However the thing that stood out for me above all else was the small size of the windows. I've got to say that, whilst overall the design of the new train is really neat, I really don't like the small size of the new windows. Makes it look a bit 'old-fashioned', like the former stock on 'The Drain'! But hey, a nice shiny new Tube train at last.

Great work

i do like how they’ve kept it looking very similar but have made practical improvements

I predict problems with luggage blocking doors, and rolling onto the platform at Hounslow East… Those wheelchair spaces will be filled with suitcases by Heathrow passengers… At least the 1973 stock had dedicated luggage bays next to the double doors, with perch seats for peak use.

Door buttons Geoff - if the trains have air-con they are going to automatically close doors after a set period, even if the train is not yet ready to set off. Also if the button is pressed while the door it open it locks the door open for accessibility. I'm sure I learned this from one of your other videos :)

Great to see the new tube made in Yorkshire. The underground is looking like the overground trains with walk through carriages and push button to open the doors.

Two WOW moments -- seeing Geoff interview the Mayor, and air con on the new stock.

So nice that they will be built in the U.K.! Def time we made more products, and create more jobs. Last time I rode on the Piccadilly was 2018 and I was shocked how old the stock is! I swear the train doors said 1968 metro cammel!

I can think of several reasons for keeping the buttons on doors: - allows them to be opened manually if required, e.g. automatic opening fails or doors have shut when a train is in the station a while - the lights and beeps that accompany them give feedback to customers about the status of the door (sometimes the train may have stopped but the doors haven't unlocked yet or perhaps the doors are about to shut so they do the quick flashing/beeping to warn you) - improves resellability of the trains: if in a few decades TFL want to sell the trains on to somewhere else, that place may want/need manual door opening and it's surely better to not have to try to retrofit them

Wow! I live in Southgate and seeing our fantastic round station and tesla coil on the new moquette is bloody brilliant!!! Can’t wait to see this trains in action

0:06... Was that seat breathing or is it just me? The new Piccadilly line trains look REALLY nice. It'll be very interesting to see what walk-through carriages will be like while going through the tight tunnels (I know District, Circle and H&C all go underground, but the tunnels aren't as small)

Great look at at new Piccadilly trains. Moving up to the big time with the mayor. Lovely to see space for wheelchair, but could not see any space for luggage. This would mean the wheelchair space would just fill up with luggage when coming or going from Heathrow which would be even more difficult to move than people. Perhaps the assumption is that everyone with luggage will be using Elizabeth line to travel from Heathrow by then.

I’m really happy with this and I’m looking forward to the release of the New Tube for London. What I absolutely cannot wait for is when they are launched on the Bakerloo Line

You still press the buttons to open the doors on Hammersmith and District line trains.

4:14 “This is the final moquette” 🤢🤮

You have to press the door buttons on s stock Geoff as at terminus stations they close after about 15 seconds
