A host of vintage tube and steam trains are set to return to the London Underground’s Metropolitan line in September for a weekend event.

The Metropolitan No. 1 steam locomotive and the 1938 art deco Tube stock train will run on the Metropolitan line between Amersham and Harrow-on-the-Hill over the weekend of 9th and 10th September.

The heritage vehicles will also include Steam Locomotive No. 9466, two class 20 diesel locomotives, and the 1950s ex British Rail coaches resplendent in their new London Transport red livery.

On the Saturday, The Susie Qs, a 1940s close-harmony trio, will be singing Andrew’s Sisters classics and performing the dance moves to match at Amersham station.

On the Sunday, passengers can take a free heritage bus ride from Amersham Station to Amersham Old Town where the town’s annual Heritage Day will take place, with live bands and performances, market stalls and a children’s area and fairground.

Note that the 1938 Tube stock is still undergoing final safety tests following refurbishment, so tickets for those rides are expected to go on sale on the 11th August.

There will also be a classic English Tea available for £12 per person.

SUPPORT THIS WEBSITE

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.

If you like what you read on here, then please support the website here.

    Would I be right in assuming that the steam locos will be at the Amersham end of the train?

    Does anyone have any tickets for Sat 9th Sept for sale? I need x2 (ideally x1 Adult, x1 Child – but x2 Adult would do). Please reply if you know where I can get hold of them – I know it’s sold out.
