Couldn't find an episode guide on sharetv.org but Wikipedia confirms there will be 6 episodes.
Main Wiki Article on http://sharetv.org/shows/the_tube_uk_uk

Listings on http://sharetv.org/shows/the_tube_uk_uk/listings

Unfortunately there is little or no information (except for the schedule).

Regards,

Is this a "legal" site?

Peter,

As far as I know, there's no downloading of either legal or illegar stuff at this site. It's a bit like the IMDB (Internet Movie Database) but focusing on TV series. You can look up past (and future) scheduling, summaries (when available), who was in what episode, etc.

You can use it to see when such-and-such a series was first aired, who starred, what the plot synopsis was, etc. It will also alert you to forthcoming episodes and premieres. You still have to resort to the TV to watch them though.

You cannot obtain the series from the site, just info on it.

Regards,

NR

after today final episode next week :S

it'd be great if bbc had did something about the tube more specific eg. actual real working life of driver/controller without disturbing them
although it kind of was shown in the 2003 series

Just watched the last episode (6) of the series - about what happens at night after LU closes. Interesting bit about stabling trains and cutting power to various lines for maintenance.

Fascinating insight into control of actual power to lines, quite apart from signals. Had me wondering whether this could be worked into SimSig TTs a bit more. Do we have failed points (point motors) as well as failed TCs, in our sims? Maybe worthy of further development. Liverpool Lime Street comes to mind, or maybe a sim based around Northumberland Park Depot (about 13:30 in the episode)?

provided you have failures on, points can fail, you can also manaully set the chance of them failing in the F3 options menu. it isnt just motors that fail, bits of dirt and ballast can get caught in the blades preventing full detection for instance

regards "after hours activities" my oxted 93 timetable has ballast trains taking possessions, and the 1993 edingburgh timetable has OTMS working all over

Thanks for the feedback.

What does OTMS mean here? My guess is TM stands for Track Maintenance.
