Full Journey on LTM 1938 Stock Heritage Journey to Cockfosters | 倫敦交通博物館 1938 Stock 往卡克福斯特斯全程行車片段

This is the 22nd episode of the London Transport series. Today, we will travel on the London Transport Museum 1938 Stock Heritage Journey to Cockfosters. 這是倫敦交通系列的第22集。今天，我們將搭乘倫敦交通博物館1938 stock復古列車之旅前往卡克福斯特斯。 In the 1930s increasing demand and ambitious expansion plans meant that the Underground needed new trains. The 1938 stock was the result of years of trials and in-house research and development. Behind its smooth, rounded exterior were many innovations, including under-floor driving equipment. Over 1,000 cars were built, running first on the Northern line, and later the Bakerloo, Piccadilly and other lines. After nearly 50 years, the last train was withdrawn in 1988. The Museum has five 1938 Tube stock cars in our collection. 在1930年代，日益增長的需求和雄心勃勃的擴建計劃意味著倫敦地鐵需要新的列車。 1938年款列車是多年試驗和內部研發的成果。其光滑圓潤的外形下蘊藏著許多創新，包括底置式驅動裝置。 該型列車共生產了1000多節，最初運行於北線，後來又延伸至貝克盧線、皮卡迪利線和其他線路。近50年後，最後一列列車於1988年退役。博物館收藏了五節1938年款地鐵列車。 The 1938 Tube stock was designed by a team led by William Graff-Baker, the Underground’s Chief Mechanical Engineer. He believed engineering to be ‘an art just as much as is the work of a painter or an architect.’ Early experiments included full streamlining, but this fashionable 1930s feature was found to have no practical benefit and was rejected as unnecessary ornamentation. Trials with four prototypes resulted in the classic design: sleeker and smoother, inside and out, than their predecessors. This was partly due to the input of Frank Pick, London Transport’s design-conscious Chief Executive. 1938 年的地鐵列車由倫敦地鐵首席機械工程師威廉·格拉夫-貝克 (William Graff-Baker) 領導的團隊設計。他認為工程「與畫家或建築師的工作一樣，都是一門藝術」。 早期的實驗方案包括完全流線型設計，但這種在 20 世紀 30 年代流行的設計被發現沒有實際用途，並被視為不必要的裝飾而被否決。經過四輛原型車的試驗，最終形成了經典的流線型設計：無論內外，都比之前的車型更流暢、更簡潔。這部分要歸功於倫敦交通局執行長 Frank Pick 的貢獻，他是一位極具設計意識的領導者。 London’s narrow Tube tunnels limited the size of trains, and Graff-Baker’s engineers experimented with new space-saving techniques. The control equipment that took up a quarter of each driving motor car of earlier trains was ingeniously redistributed and located below the floor, giving more room for passenger seating. The 1938 Tube stock was intended mainly for expanded services in north London, as part of the 1935-40 New Works Programme. They started service on the Northern line, appearing on the Bakerloo and Piccadilly lines from the 1950s. 倫敦地鐵狹窄的隧道限制了列車的尺寸，格拉夫-貝克公司的工程師嘗試了各種節省空間的新技術。早期列車每節車廂四分之一的空間都被用於控制設備，而這些設備被巧妙地重新分配並放置在地板下方，從而為乘客騰出了更多座位空間。 1938 年的地鐵列車主要用於倫敦北部地區的擴建服務，這是 1935-1940 年新工程計劃的一部分。它們最初在北線投入運營，並從 20 世紀 50 年代開始出現在貝克盧線和皮卡迪利線上。 Though the first withdrawals from the Northern line were in 1972, this car survived in service until 1978. It traversed the line’s 36-mile (57.9km) route for 40 years, covering nearly two million miles (3.2 million km). In 1979 it was restored to 1950s condition at Acton Works and donated to London Transport Museum (LTM). A four-car unit of 1938 Tube stock was restored to operational condition in 1999 and is preserved at the Museum Depot. It has been used for many special events and tours around the network. After serving on the Bakerloo for several years the last of the 1938 stock were overhauled once more in the mid-1980s and moved to the Northern line. They were retired in May 1988, just short of 50 years’ service. But this was not the end – they were then sold to the Isle of Wight where they ran on the Island Line until January 2021! 儘管北線最早的列車於 1972 年退役，但這輛列車一直服役到 1978 年。它在北線 36 英里（57.9 公里）的線路上運行了 40 年，總里程近 200 萬英里（320 萬公里）。 1979 年，這輛列車在阿克頓工廠被修復至 20 世紀 50 年代的狀態，並捐贈給了倫敦交通博物館 (LTM)。 1999 年，一列由四節車廂組成的 1938 年地鐵列車被修復至可運行狀態，並保存在博物館車庫中。它曾被用於許多特別活動和網路巡遊。 在貝克盧線服役數年後，最後一批 1938 年列車於 20 世紀 80 年代中期再次進行大修，並被調往北線。它們於 1988 年 5 月退役，服役時間略低於 50 年。 但這並非故事的結局——它們隨後被賣到了懷特島，並在Island Line上運營至 2021 年 1 月！ ================ 關於我的頻道 Gabriel Chu 是一位來自香港的交通愛好者。我從 2019 年開始拍攝香港的交通影像，其中一些作品受到了世界各地人們的喜愛！自 2023 年香港交通恢復正常以來，我開始拍攝高鐵系列，足跡遍佈香港以外地區。 我希望將這個頻道打造成一個全球性的交通頻道。只要有網絡，您就可以隨時隨地找到我，和我一起踏上旅程！ About My channel Gabriel Chu is a traffic enthusiast from Hong Kong.
