Take a trip in a vintage tube train to Heathrow airport

Posted on 14th February 2020 by ianvisits Posted in transport issues — No Comments ↓

The London Underground’s 1938 era art-deco tube train will be making one of its occasional outings in April.

The venerable little red train will be plying the route between Acton and Heathrow over the same weekend as the London Transport Museum’s overflow depot at Acton is also open – making it easier to do both in one day.

Saturday 25th April

Northfields dep. 1058 – Acton Town arr. 1150
Northfields dep. 1238 – Northfields arr. 1324
Northfields dep. 1449 – Acton Town arr. 1539

Sunday 26th April

Northfields dep. 1058 – Acton Town arr. 1149
Northfields dep. 1238 – Northfields arr. 1323
Northfields dep. 1448 – Acton Town arr. 1538

Tickets cost £45 for adults, £38 for concessions and £35 for children, and you also half price entry to the Acton depot.

Tickets aren’t on sale yet – and they usually release them to newsletter subscribers first – so sign up here for that, otherwise keep an eye on their website here.

SUPPORT THIS WEBSITE

This website has been running now for just over a decade, and while advertising revenue contributes to funding the website, but 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 its 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 your read on here, then please support the website here.
