This cab ride was filmed from the driver’s cab on a North London Railways service with EMU No. 313005. The departure from North Woolwich was at 12.45 with arrival at Richmond at 14.00. The single line route from North Woolwich was to Custom House where we then take a double-track section alongside the Docklands Light Railway system.

We pass by the new Jubilee line which was under construction at the time of this filming. North of Stratford, we join the North London line at Lea Junction and start our route around the London ‘circular’ line to Richmond. At Camden Road the pantograph is raised as the third rail ends. Our train now proceeds on 25 KV AC as far as Acton Central where we return to the third rail system. At Gunnersbury Junction we join the District Line to Richmond,

The programme was made for crew training purposes with a Traction Inspector present at all times.
