If you acquire a digibox, you can see it on Sky Travel.
I know, but they are episodes from the old (series 1&2) and I am interested in when the new series starts on ITV, because I know they did some filming earlier in the year. Ps: I havent seen it on sky Travel for a good few weeks now |

I was referring to the present ITV series "The Tube" which features the
exhibitionists etc mentioned earlier. I also fondly remember "The Tube" from the 1980s, but doubt The Jam will be appearing on the current version or Jools or Paula. See below for the present series: The Tube - Series Two Programme 1 - Underground Crime This episode follows the British Transport Police's anti-graffiti unit as they go on the trail of TOX, the Tube's most elusive graffiti vandal. After causing thousands of pounds worth of damage to London's tube system, will he get his just desserts? We also follow the ticket inspectors on the trains and at Camden Town as they crack down on fare-dodgers. Programme 2 - Mind the Gap Programme 2 follows mother-of-six Jackie Blanchard as she transforms herself from St Albans housewife into a Station Assistant at one of the Undergrounds most notorious stations - Kings Cross St Pancras. As part of her training she has to face her worst fear and walk across 630 volts of live track. We are also with the engineers as they are called out to work on the track in a live Central line tunnel with a trainload of frustrated passengers stuck behind them. Programme 3 - Under Pressure In this programme we see the effect a suicide attempt at Victoria has on a Circle Line driver - will he ever be able to drive again? We're also with the British Transport Police as they try to keep bitter rival football fans apart on a Victoria line platform, and we're back at Kings Cross St Pancras to find out how mother-of-six Jackie Blanchard is coping with a traumatic first week of delays and abusive customers. Programme 4 - The Ups and Downs In this show we visit one of the Underground's 43 abandoned tube stations, and follow the painful process of getting a broken escalator moving while coping with life at Brixton Station. At the Tube's flagship station, Canary Wharf, the pressure is mounting to get the unused East End of the station open for passenger use. With the Mayor, Ken Livingstone, coming to open it in a matter of days and work still unfinished, will they make it in time? Programme 5 - Open All Hours This evening, we see what it takes to replace 4000 tonnes of ballast, 1600 sleepers, and over 1300 metres of new Piccadilly line track in just six days. And just two weeks after the Madrid terrorist bombings, an unattended bag on a Piccadilly Line train causes frayed nerves and a station evacuation. Programme 6 - All Change Please In this episode we join trainee driver Terence as he gets to grips with a 160-ton Northern Line train for the first time, and 60-year-old Keith Tibbles retires from the world of train driving after 44 years on the job. Train Manager Andy Hogg is out with his speed gun to check his Circle Line drivers are doing things by the book. |
