It's that unique salt- and- pepper- look of the chimney sweep side hustling in flour merchandise (or the other way 'round). Ladies tend to fall for it and seldom complain. Personally I rub myself with pizza-oven ground to achieve a similar effect nowadays. Smelling of Oregano instead of soot is a useful side effect. I do however avoid the Central Line. It's too busy and the sprinkles inevitably rub off.

Interestingly enough those vibrations by the trains still caused problems right up to the present day. Beside Holland Park station is Landsdowne Rd. The building on the corner of Boyne Terrace Mews used to be Lansdowne Recording Studios owned by CTS. The studio was below ground. The control room being on the first level and the actual live studio one level below that. Much orchestral music was recorded there and during pianissimo periods the orchestra would often have to stop playing to avoid the mics picking up the rumble of the train which much have been almost directly below, pulling in or out of the platforms .We could never work out which :)

When you consider how much of that 1 min was sat in stations while trains were boarded, you had the next train arriving about 20 seconds after the departure of the last. Even then it might be three or more trains before you could get on one - after each one everyone left behind shuffled a bit closer to the platform edge, in the hope that there may be space for them on the next train!

@davidwebber I expect Jago, a national hero, will do something on it to his usual standard. However, while we wait, as I understand it, you would need to go back to the precedent set by the turnpikes and canals. They requires compulsory purchase orders to be built, as usually more than one land owner was involved. I believe only parliament could grant those at the time. So, any railway that proposed a route that was agreed, could assure the shareholders that it would be built at the price agreed. Otherwise, it could potentially be the case that landowners could have changed the price of the land, after it was agreed, and altered the economics considerably.

Jago, very good video, as usual. Did I hear you say "the beginning of the 19th Century" at 6:58? Perhaps I misheard you say "20th Century"?

6:58 "by the beginning of the Nineteenth Century"... oops, according to Jago, looks like the Tube totally embraced the Italian way: Novecento! 😉
