    Toot toot… All aboard!
    A beautifully restored 1938 tube train is making a journey through central London next month, and you can be on board!
    You can swap your regular commute for a trip on a genuine 1930s art deco tube train and it’s all down to the London Transport Museum’s upcoming heritage vehicle outing.
    Two trips will take place on Sunday, March 17: one from Northfields, running non-stop to Upminster; and the second will leave Upminster and make the journey to Acton Town, via Baker Street and Rayners Lane.

    Tickets cost £40 (£35 for concessions), you can purchase them from the London Transport Museum website


    sounds expensive

    F*ck me, I used to travel on those trains in the 1960s on the Northern Line from Clapham Common, they were really grotty then and the stations were horrible, dank, dark and smelly. I can't imagine anyone would want to be reminded of that era in London Transport's history...

    What year was this? I recognise some of the team, but not all, so guessing it must be mid-70’s when I first started supporting the R’s.

    We've got a couple of these in regular service on the Isle of Wight albeit in varying stages of disrepair. Preferred the steam trains they replaced!
