London Transport Museum has teamed up with London Underground to offer tickets for a journey on heritage steam trains running on the Underground, in order to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the Hammersmith & City Line.
Save the dates: it's all happening on 2 and 9 August and on the weekend of 16-17 August. The programme is divided in two main events, as follows:
- On Saturday 2 and Saturday 9 August trains run along the route of the Hammersmith & City Line. The first train runs between Northfields and Moorgate, the next three run from Moorgate to Hammersmith and return while the last train runs from Moorgate to Northfields. Journeys run between 8.24am and 4.25pm and there's entertainment from actors and a brass band, which will be at Moorgate Station. Tickets are £40-£95 for adults and £30-£85 for children, depending on the journey and the class chosen.
- On the weekend of Saturday 16 and Sunday 17 August trains run along the route of the Metropolitan Line. The first train runs between Wembley Park and Rickmansworth, the next two run from Rickmansworth to Chesham and return while the last train runs from Rickmansworth to Chesham and return to Harrow-on-the-Hill. Journeys run between 8.24am and 4.25pm. Tickets are £20-£35 for adults and £10-£25 for children, depending on the journey and the class chosen. They will go on sale shortly, so keep an eye on the website.
