  The line is so &quot;clean&quot; these days. 10 years ago, when I was a commuter between Great Missenden and Marylebone, there was debris (old track, bits of cabling etc etc) strewn alongside the line all the way. Great to see.

  Its only when you watch something like this that you realize just how big London is.<br><br>Other cities in Europe seem very small by comparison (apart from maybe Paris), and cities in the US seem far less intensely urban than London (apart from New York - but that city is surrounded by water so it feels less cramped).<br><br>Now that London is constrained by the green belt, it can only go up, and watching this I can spot many blocks of flats built only in the last couple of years.<br><br>I&apos;m impressed by the Metropolitan line which a few years ago I considered to be one of the worst in London; &nbsp;the new trains are really nice, and the speed getting into town is pretty good.

  I must admit the train seems to be going a lot faster than when I take it…. It always seems to take an age

  That was absolutely fascinating. I’ve travelled those routes as a passenger for a long time but what a fantastic perspective this gives. Thanks for putting it together so expertly and explaining all the signals and stopping that we normally take for granted.

  Three disused stations can be seen quite easily between Finchley Road and Baker Street:<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HbOb28YnLtk&amp;t=2436">40:36</a> The semi-open section is Swiss Cottage (Met line), you can see the platform on the left<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HbOb28YnLtk&amp;t=2508">41:48</a> in the open is Marlborough Road, dilapidated platform on the left and platform entrances left and right, then<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HbOb28YnLtk&amp;t=2589">43:09</a> just before the end of the tunnel is Lords, platform visible on the right.<br>I&apos;m sure most people watching this would know these, but thought it might be interesting for some.

  Love the magic way you may two Jubilee Line trains disappear at 38.15.

  I absolutely love this video. I hardly use the Met Line so it&apos;s fascinating to see it from a different point of view &amp; the contrasting environments of rural &amp; urban. I also liked that there&apos;s no distracting running commentary... &amp; the fun-fact about Chorleywood!

  I love drivers-eye train videos. It&apos;s fun to see it from the driver&apos;s POV.

  So many cables on the side of the line! I like having the extra info on signals, it&apos;s a nice bit of work that shows dedication to the topic.

  Being Irish and living in Manchester 24 years, being most familiar with the North Wales line on SailRail to Holyhead, aside from the Irish railways, I find this content about the London Tube most fascinating, interesting, educational and informative 🇮🇪☘️🇮🇪😍
