Last week a steam train chuffed into London’s Baker Street station as part of preparations for the Tube’s 150th anniversary celebrations that are kicking off in January 2013. This BBC London newsreel explains some of the history of London’s underground as well as showing footage of the first steam train on the network for a good long while.
How are you planning to celebrate the Tube’s 150th birthday in London next year? Let us know in the comments below.
How do we get info about booking a trip on the steam train commemration service, please?
Hi Thomson. I’m afraid the ballot for tickets has now closed but there will be some other heritage trains runs later in the year. More details here http://www.ltmuseum.co.uk/whats-on/tube150/calendar
