Great to watch that - I doubt many people would have thought to film what was largely a tunnel / restricted view journey at that time. Thanks for postingThey were certainly atmospheric, particularly if you had the window down!
Here's a video taken in the mid 70's by an old schoolfriend of mine. The film runs from Barbican to Kings X via Farringdon, what became Kings X Thameslink and the Hotel Curve.
Sorry the quality isn't brilliant by today's standards and there's no sound. You can certainly see the 'atmosphere' though in the Clerkenwell Tunnels between Farringdon and Kings X!
(am guessing they started the 'Thameslink 2000' planning and work soon after that )
