Celebrating 1000 Videos 5/7 - Central Line: Ealing Broadway to Tottenham Court Road

The 5th of 7 videos in my Celebrating 1000 videos series. In this video, we make an eastbound journey on a London Underground 1992 Stock Central Line train from Ealing Broadway to Tottenham Court Road. Ealing Broadway is one of two western termini on the Central Line, the other being West Ruislip which is further north. Ealing Broadway is a fairly busy station with connections to the main line and regional rail services. It is set to become part of the Crossrail route in 2018. As we leave the station, we pass an approaching District Line D78 stock train. On the way, we call at West Acton, North Acton, East Acton, White City, Shepherd's Bush, Holland Park, Notting Hill Gate, Queensway, Lancaster Gate, Marble Arch, Bond Street, Oxford Circus and Tottenham Court Road. The Central Line is one of four selected tube lines to be given a big upgrade in the future as part of "The New Tube for London" project along with the Bakerloo, Piccadilly and Waterloo & City Line services. This upgrade will see the current rolling stock replaced with brand new trains which are projected to enter service in the early to mid 2020s on the Piccadilly Line, the Central Line will receive the new trains in 2030, the Waterloo & City in 2032 and the Bakerloo in 2033. The aim is to improve customer service which includes higher operating speeds for faster journeys, higher frequency for reduced waiting time and improvements in efficiency, reliability, safety and capacity. The early concepts estimate that the new trains will increase capacity on the Piccadilly Line alone by approximately 60% but in order to improve safety and reliability, the four lines will see the installation of Platform Edge Door (PED) technology which is currently in use on the Jubilee Line from Westminster to North Greenwich.
