It's been 5 years since this video, and Watford station of the metropolitan line is still there XD
He forgot to mention that the Metropolitan Line is the only London Underground Line not to connect with the District Line
Whenever I miss London I watch these.
It's fun watching these old vids because not only has Geoff come in on P4 at High St Ken (Circle Line) but he's also ridden the Norf Kurve at Watford, despite what he said at
Six summers ago I stayed about a mile from the Croxley station. Took the Metropolitan line every day into London. Some of our group complained about the long commute, but I loved taking the tube!

I don't even live in the UK, why am I watching these
'A whole bunch of new stations added to the map' adding up to a grand total of 2
As I recall, you never got off an electric train, and onto a steam train at Rickmansworth - they merely swapped the locomotives - the stock was the same, six-car Metropolitan "dreadnought" sets.
Little Fun Fact: The Metropolitan Line, alongside the Bakerloo, are the only places on the tube where you can sit facing forwards or backwards
Sad this series is coming to an end but ... canals, overground, DLR, abandoned stations all sound like great watching to me. Keep up the great work!
thanks so much Geoff, loved this one! appreciate your hard work bringing us the series, goes without saying that any more you can do would be well received...'a day in the life of a driver', 'a depot tour', 'a night with the fluffers'
Watford Junction extension is dead :/
The watford junct extension might have been cancelled.
I have watched every one of these videos. it, in my opinion, has been one of the best things I have seen on youtube in a while. keep up the good work.
We absolutely love this video series, please do more! Thanks in advance.
Me and my dad were well happy getting to meet you and talk to you at Acton Depot the other day.
I love the series. I think ive rewatched most of these two or three times. Brings back memories of living in Dagenham back in the early 90s. When I had a day off I would ride around London on various tube and NSE lines. Similar journeys here in Toronto may be less expensive, but quite dull by comparison.

Really have enjoyed this series. Shame it has to come to an end but something on the abandoned stations would be great!
