    "and Britain would never again have a problem with sewage being dumped into its rivers or seas" 🤣🤣
  • I love how perfectly timed and cathartic this video is for Brits AND Americans!
  • @Slycockney
    A mention of our friend Mr. Yerkes, so all is well with the world. Excellent video as always Jago, thank you.

    Before I retired and was working in London I used Westminster station a lot. I like it. My wife and I went to a reception in the House of Lords on 31 December 1999 and were then taken (with a whole lot of other people) to North Greenwich on a special train on the Jubilee line. The cars were numbered and we were assigned to a particular car, directed by marshals on the platform with numbered placards. We were ushered through security at North Greenwich, entered the Millennium dome, and celebrated the New Year. (HMQ was there and joined in the singing of Auld Lang Syne.)

    Sunday wirh Jago is always enjoyable... Unlike politicians 😁😁😁
  • I've passed through Westminster station on a couple of occasions and I'm still fascinated by the architecture of the "Concrete box". It's a modern industrial look which is my favourite aesthetic!
  • @chrisrand5185
    One of the problems that the architects and engineers had in designing the station and Jubilee line was that they had to avoid going under Government infrastructure and buildings, remembering Guy Fawkes. Only problem was that the powers that be would not tell the architects where this infrastructure was for security reasons. Consequently, they had to keep submitting drawings and getting them rejected with no advice on how to overcome the issue until eventually plans were submitted and accepted.

    This Video Is NOT A Yerkes Free Zone. All hail Jago & Yerkes

    The cold open is just British enough. Anyway, I’m rooting for Count Binface
  • My father passed away on 4th July 1986 at 57 so I know the history of the day
  • I'm voting for more trains and trams on the 4th of July! Don't forget your ID on Thursday!
  • My civil engineer brother worked in the jubilee line at Westminster and helped keep Big Ben standing 😊
  • Baker Street still has some of the aura of those old pictures of the first underground railways. It is probably my favourite in London. That comment has nothing to do with the Westminster tube.
  • @MetroTitanD78
    During construction of the Jubilee Line through Westminster they had to keep an eye on Big Ben to make sure it didn't start tilting due to the work going on and extra work had to be done to stabilise the ground by it. In the end it did move slightly but only by something like a 1CM which was well within the safe limits set by the engineers.
  • I loved the rebuild in the late nineties when I lived in London. Along with Canary Wharf Jubilee Line station it is one of the best stations in London. Always thought it was what a tube station would look like if designed by a James Bond villain!

    My only question is why, when Gloucester Road has art on a platform, do those large floodlit concrete hollows of Westminster station no longer have artwork in them? They did for a while and it made the transit from Jubilee to District line the highlight of many a journey. Can we start a campaign to bring back art to the caverns of Westminster?
