Some interesting facts in there.
Can Finsbury Park really be the busiest station on the underground in terms of passengers?
And how do you register the start of your journey if there are no Oyster barriers?
Also, you said that you would show something of interest at all sixteen stations but you missed several out: Vauxhall, Oxford Circus and Tottenham Hale. (Not that that spoiled the video - well worth a watch.)

Finsbury Park is (I think) the busiest station WITHOUT gates.
There are yellow readers all over the place,just no gates.
Because of the layout,gates would be a nightmare given the usage the station gets.

Does the W+C not run fully underground? I'm trying to find something I don't like about this video and I'm having a very hard time - good work  |

Has it occurred to Transport for London to tell a certain bank that it's going to rename Blackhorse Road unless the bank comes up with some spondoolicks?

First of all Geoff I would like to day thank you for an informative video on some interesting trivial facts. I will look out for some of them next time I am in the area.
I would however like to point out some errors in the video. One thing is that it implied that you were going to pick out essentially a fact per station but you missed out Tottenham Hale, Euston, Oxford Circus and Vauxhall. Any particular reason?
Secondly I would just like to point out even the Victoria Line does not travel completely underground as the depot is outside in Northumberland Park. There is no true line underground.
Otherwise thank you very much.

Otherwise thank you very much. Most of your questions are answered in the comments underneath the video. I think saying that it's not truly underground just because of the depot is a bit too pedantic - does he really need to put an addendum at the end of every sentence? (* truly underground in passenger service only) |

I think the point is that it is not the only line fully underground - there are either two (Vic and W&C) or none - because, both of them have depots exposed to the open air (although the W&C's deopt is below ground level).
