Crossrail have uploaded a video to Youtube showing the full westbound run from Plumstead to Paddington. Some sections have been sped up though.
And there's another video here:

It's not just kings cross, this happened to me at an other Piccadilly line station recently.

Those are articulated cars, not articulated bogies. An articulated bogie would be something similar to an Adams Radial Truck. The flexibility would be in the bogie itself. I wondered if that's what the OP meant, but an articulated bogie (such as the front end of the Mallett in my previous post, with its separate pony truck - or indeed a Class 40 diesel) would not create any new issues with throwover on curves. The main advantages of flexibility in the bogie itself is in the ability to steer round curves - all wheels can be aligned tangential to the rail. Compare the images here Rollinmg stock with radial bogies do operate on LU, as the Class 66s have them. And what are the "Flexible frame" bogies fitted to D, S, 1995 and 2009 stocks? www.whatdotheyknow.com/cy/request/284276/response/737827/attach/6/RS%20Info%20Sheets%204%20Edition.pdf Did any of the '86 Red/Green/Blue stock have this feature? I was on a cl.395 recently and I could overhear the people sat at the table in front of me, one of them said he had worked on a prototype train for the Jubilee line (sic?) which had either steerable axles or bogies (I can't recall which he said). He also mentioned there being red, blue and green trains which made me think of these. TIA Simon

There's another one on TED for CCTV for the 92 stock as well. At least two cameras per car.

"On today's episode of <Insert name of current children's TV railway based program>....
Lizzie the 'lectric train sits down at Paddington and refuses to change signalling modes until The Fat Controller has a word.
Don't forget kids, you can re-enact this yourselves by purchasing the Lizzie the 'lectric train set from the LT Museum for only £399.99" "

Surely the next "new" tube trains will be the modern equivalent Jubilee and Northern Line extra trains - assuming, of course, that an order is placed for them fairly soon. You never know Boris might just sign off a tube train order in his final few weeks in office. Only taken him 8 years. Looking at the forward plan for major projects approvals seems the Jubilee Line paper is due at the Board Feb 2016, Northern Line Mar 2016 and contract award in Spring 2017. That won't happen as the timescales for contract award will fall under the new Mayor's tenure. As an aside - when the Jubilee 7th cars and additional four trains were ordered Alstom built them in Spain as they no longer had a construction facility in the UK. These were delivered by road from the factory in Barcelona, in fact some of the vehicles ended up briefly stored at Asfordby. Regards, Dan Did the lorries carrying them go through the channel.tunnel or use a ferry? (hoping for the former) Simon
