Steam on the Met Finale – Sunday 8 December 2013

On Sunday 8 December 2013, for the first time since 1992, London Transport Museum will be running steam trains to Uxbridge along the Metropolitan line. Recently restored Metropolitan Locomotive No.1 and the Victorian ‘Jubilee’ carriage 353 will team up for the last time this year in a fitting finale to the 150th anniversary of the London Underground.

These special journeys will take place between Harrow-on-the-Hill and Uxbridge and are a rare opportunity to experience steam along this particular route for what is likely to be the last opportunity on this section of the line. Metropolitan Loco No.1 will pull the train from Harrow-on-the-Hill to Uxbridge, with a Class 20 diesel hauling the return leg.  Passengers will have the choice of travelling  on the meticulously restored 1892 ‘Jubilee’ Carriage 353 or London Transport Museum’s 1950s ex-British Rail 4TC coaches.

Journey times and Tickets

There will be five trips in total which will be steam hauled from Harrow to Uxbridge and Diesel hauled from Uxbridge to Harrow.  Trains are timed from Harrow at  10.50, 11.50, 12.50, 13.50 & 14.50
