The bleeping of Cockfosters! hahaha <br><br>As a Londoner, I wouldn't say the Bakerloo line is boring. It has character and is unique. The 1972 trains are like a museum and sharing track with the Overground leads to a crazy low step from the platform as mainline trains have higher floors. Not saying any of that is <b>**good**</b> to the average person sense, but to enthusiasts, it's a nice change

When mentioning crossrail, it feels wrong to not mention Thameslink. It’s one of the most frequent services and cuts through the core of the city too

as amazing a pioneer as the underground is, the fact that it was never replicated in other UK cities is really damning of the British government over the last couple centuries, other than the Tyne and Wear metro and the Glasgow subway there's no other systems like the underground in the UK, especially not at any great scale

As a UK viewer, thanks for this. A very good potted history, although one point. The Waterloo & City was <b>not</b> the first tube line... this accolade goes to the City & South London Railway, now forming the eastern branch of the Northern Line through the city. It was opened in 1890 as the first electric underground railway in the world (although it was originally planned as a cable-hauled system) Still it's a minor point so congratulations!

I rode the London Underground for the very first time in 2019 and I fell in love with it instantly. It is deep and can be like a maze but once you master it, it’s a piece of cake. Every line has its own unique charm to it. This video alone makes me want to go back to London just so I can ride on it again. Truly one of, if not arguably the best transit system in the world.
