RMweb Gold Huw Griffiths Posted March 16, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 16, 2021 This should be interesting. I wonder how long it will be before someone posts about where the publicity photo was taken. Huw. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stewartingram Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 I reckon that is Euston, the old entrance, underneath the sub-station(?) (which has probably been demolished by now for HS2), corner of Coburg St? Been there many times when at work. Stewart 2 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edwin_m Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 It's the underground connecting passage between the City & South London and the Charing Cross and Hampstead platforms, now the two branches of the Northern Line. When they were separate companies, through travellers had to re-book. Hope they can mash up the best of the Architecture the Railways Built and the Hidden London videos. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordon s Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 I have fond memories of Euston island platforms when I was a kid being taken to Glasgow by my parents each summer. Looking for more pics, I stumbled across this and it definitely appears to be Euston if you scroll down. https://alondoninheritance.com/under-london/euston-underground-station-the-lost-tunnels/ 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordon s Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Thank you so much for posting the original link, as for years I had a vague memory of travelling to Glasgow as a small child and the island platform at Euston. I was sure there was another loop next to the platform and seeing other trains by pass the Euston platform. The one picture of the booking office set me searching the web and something that has been ticking away at the back of my brain has now been answered. There is a detailed article here with loads of pics under images, one of which is the booking office in question. I can see that once life returns to normal, I must go on one of the tours, but they may be terminated with the work going on at Euston station. https://www.subbrit.org.uk/sites/euston-underground-station/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
5050 Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Really looking forward to this series. I've got a copy of Christian Wolmar's book, 'The Subterranean Railway', which I picked up in a charity shop a few years ago. I found it a fascinating read, especially the bits about the inter-company rivalry in the early days. I might read it again to prime myself for the show.

RMweb Premium melmerby Posted July 6, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 6, 2021 (edited) Tim mentioned that the next series of his "Architecture the Railways Built" will follow some time after this series. Some interesting TV to look foward to. Edited July 6, 2021 by melmerby 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of our TV viewing is off the recorder, so that you can skip the ads and pause if need be. Sometimes only 15mins or 30 mins after the program is broadcast 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes only 15mins or 30 mins after the program is broadcast I generally reckon for these channels if you start watching the recording 15min after the programme start time and are reasonably dextrous with the fast forward button, you'll finish watching pretty much as the programme finishes. 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have had three HDD recorders, still got two and both are connected, one to Freesat & one to Freeview. Sadly I am finding less & less to record.

knitpick Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 For your interest - there are repeats on +1 - 1 hour later but not on Freeview. Also there is a repeat on Fridays on Yesterday at 10:00pm - I'll probably use that. Also there is an Internet "catch-up" service where you can watch on your PC after initial broadcast - you still get the adverts! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium John M Upton Posted July 20, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 20, 2021 It is available to stream anytime on the UKTV Play website plus gets a repeat 10:00 pm on Friday too. Next week is North End, the never finished station on the Northern Line often referred to as Bull & Bush. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
