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.
