Description

Walthamstow Central to Brixton

The 1967 stock trains were filmed in their last few years of service in 2009. These were the first fully automatic trains in London. The Victoria line was opened in stages (recalled in the archive bonus footage) from Walthamstow in East London.

With the aid of additional lighting, the whole line is seen in virtual real time from the operator’s cab. This is more than a Driver’s eye view, for we also follow the progress of our southbound train on the track diagrams of the service control centre, we see inside all the stations with their famous tiled murals as well as many of the exteriors.
