Browsing youtube, I've just found this video: The station is (apparently) Leicester square, but has anyone got any thoughts as to what the line might be, and what sort of area it might be in at the end of the video? (tube section starts at 3:37 and runs intermittently to the end) |

At 4:09 you can see the map in the car which is northern line.
At 4:13, you can see a sign to other platforms, but it's out of focus. Bottom left could be "High Barnet", which would make the train a southbound northern line train
Stock has opening passenger windows, so I assume 59 stock?
The station at 4.25, no idea - doesn't look northen-liney
Then they mysteriously end up danceing on C-stock...
So, romantic mystery *and* a spot of tube-gricing, not a bad night out...

Hmm! 1959 and 1972 Mk 1 Tube Stock and a pre refurb C stock.
Does anyone here remember the video "Be There" by Ian Brown?

It is, I'm sure, Leicester Square on the northbound Northern Line
The scene of the train pulling out of the station has very poor continuity - the outside shots seem to have been taken in two separate takes. What we seem to have is a train that is 1972 on the outside and 1959 on the inside.
She jumps onto a 1972 Mk 1 train, and the doors close before he can get on,
next we see the view from inside the train - we can only see the windows in the doors but they are square, not curved upwards, so its a 1959
back on the platform as the train pulls out: it's still a 1972
inside again: 1959
outside once more, but now it's become a 1959
The sign to other platforms seen at 4:10 says "Piccadilly Line", and is pointing at a staircase leading down. (Another continuity error actually - the girl is seen going down the escalator, but then runs onto the platform from this staircase, which leads to/from a lower level)
The old "light box" train indicators have three columns, which I think was a northbound Northern Line speciality. The curve of the platform also suggests northbound to me
