Just in time to appear under a Christmas tree near you, is a LEGO compatible London Underground train kit based on the S-Stock trains.
The kit features a 3 car S-Stock train full with internal seating and removable roofs to put figures inside, an instruction book, two staff figures, a full oval track and an Underground roundel.
In total, the kit comes with 1,433 pieces included.
And the minifigs are wearing tube roundel uniforms.
The CityBrix London Underground Train Brick Set is available from the London Toy Company as an authorised TfL licensed product.
It’s not an official LEGO product but is compatible with their Lego Trains range, and with other construction brick company products.
This website has been running now for over a decade, and while advertising revenue contributes to funding the website, it doesn't cover the costs. That is why I have set up a facility with DonorBox where you can contribute to the costs of the website and time invested in writing and research for the news articles.
It's very similar to the way The Guardian and many smaller websites are now seeking to generate an income in the face of rising costs and declining advertising.
Whether it's a one-off donation or a regular giver, every additional support goes a long way to covering the running costs of this website, and keeping you regularly topped up doses of Londony news and facts.

See Sam’s Trains very recent review of unnamed but apparently Platrains (?) £50 battery “based on” S stock set.
Defo for the littl’uns but looks fun – oval and a half of track, 2 points, station, tunnel, speaker for muffled announcements ~ just like in real life!
Just wanted to say thank you for featuring this, ordered one for my son for Christmas, just received it and looks amazing.
Opened it up to check and very neatly done, even the little bags are just like proper Lego, opened the pack of track to test and it clicks straight into standard Lego track.
Hats off to them for producing such a great set, if it was proper Lego it would be 2 to 3 times as expensive.
My next challenge is going to be to figure out how to motorize it 🙂
£75. Priced more for adult collectors than for small children
