London Underground Trains

[JackTheOh]

Has anyone thought of making a london underground mod consisting of all the LU stock from the first opening to present day? (as well as some stations inspired from the IRL ones)
not sure how else to put this. i hope someone sees this and makes this a reality

Trains you cant see if you run them as the tube, great idea

Not sure if you are aware but the London Underground does come up ABOVE ground too, for instance the Dollis Brook Viaduct is the highest point of the London Underground and it reaches 60ft (18 meters).

True facts are awesome

the majority of the London underground is above ground.

I hope you aren't counting the London Overground in that statement. While the Overground and Underground are both administered by Transport for London, they are separate networks.

But the majority of the Metropolitan, Circle, District and possibly Central lines are above ground. This is because these lines were built using 'cut-and-cover' methodology, with the streets being dug up, the tracks laid and tunnels built, then the hole filled in over the top, leading to areas that didn't need covering to be left as open cuttings. As the Met and District lines expanded out of the City, they moved to the surface, and as a large portion of the current network (the Central, Metropolitan, District, and Hammersmith and City Lines) use this original network...

The only parts of the Underground which don't use this system are the so-called 'deep tube' lines: The Picadilly (which still comes above ground at Baron's Court) Northern, Bakerloo, Victoria, and Jubilee Lines (the last of which I believe also surfaces at Stratford).

So, while I'm not sure it's most of the LU network, it is certainly a large portion of it above ground.

45% is underground, google it. i did

The bakerloo comes up through Willesden junction and follows the WCML (west coast mainline). Plus if you go on the tfl website and go to underground maps there is a map that shows the tunnels. Here is the link to the maps https://tfl.gov.uk/maps/track/tube
The Victoria line is the only tube line that doesn't go above ground, the only time it does is when it goes into the depot

Huh, the more you know.

This illustrates the need for a proper underground building mode!.

You will be able to see if you use the cab view!.

Well the Waterloo and city line was part of the national rail network for a long time till privatisation so its an add on, you could also mention the East London line which has know been converted into the overground

can we all just accept these facts PLEASE, what about the mod/assets

Note the London Underground is 60% above ground

[Werecat101]

The London Underground is slowly shifting as sections of the Hammersmith & Circle line and District lines are getting covered in and around Earls court & between Farringdon and Kings cross, soon the percentages will be closer to 55% Above ground, and that will shift more as real estate in and Around London Increases in value making the huge expense of building covers for the cut and cover areas extends to other sections of the tracks.
