Jubilee

Drivers Eye View

Another route full of interest, running from Stanmore in Middlesex over the branch originally built by the Metropolitan.

At Wembley Park the Jubilee runs alongside the current Metropolitan all the way to Finchley Road.

From there to Baker Street is through the cast iron tunnels of the former Bakerloo line.

With the junction still in place, we now enter the original purpose-built Jubilee tunnels for the run to Green Park where the brand new Jubilee line extension begins.

Now we can see the wide modern concrete tunnels built by the "new tunneling method" and featuring platform edge doors at the stations.

Running through the heart of the Docklands redevelopment - famous for the Canary Wharf Tower and Millennium Dome, our "1996 stock" train surfaces again at Canning Town in East London.

Video 125 cameras have captured the best pictures ever of an underground line.

With cameras in the cab, on the platforms, and even in the tunnels you will see the Jubilee in a new light.

We even take a look at the old Charing Cross Station now abandoned.

As if the pictures were not enough you can hear the fantastic sounds of the trains in motion - captured in digital stereo.

A comprehensive commentary from Rob Curling keeps you informed with the facts about this fascinating route.

The Driver's eye view is followed by a DOCUMENTARY made for London Underground entitled LONDON'S NEW RAILWAY celebrating the opening of the Jubilee Line Extension.

This comprehensive documentary looks at the planning, construction and unique architecture.

It contains interviews with key personnel such as construction engineers, managers and users.
