Relive steam travel on the final heritage ride of 2013

 
9 January 2014

For the first time since 1992 and possibly the last time ever, London Transport Museum will be running steam trains to Uxbridge along the Metropolitan line on Sunday 8 December 2013. Recently restored Metropolitan Locomotive No.1 and the Victorian ‘Jubilee’ carriage 353 will team up for the last time this year as part of London Underground’s 150th anniversary celebrations.

These special journeys will take place between Harrow-on-the-Hill and Uxbridge. The journeys are a rare opportunity to experience steam along this particular route - this is the last time this is likely to happen on this section of the line. Metropolitan Loco No.1 will pull the train from Harrow-on-the-Hill to Uxbridge, while passengers will have the chance to witness the power of a Class 20 diesel on the return leg. They can choose between travelling on the meticulously restored 1892 ‘Jubilee’ Carriage or London Transport Museum’s 1950s ex-British Rail 4TC coaches.
