It has been a while since I last posted, but today the London Transport Museum were running a heritage train on the Hammersmith & City line, which I live next too. This is one of those events that makes up for all the times one has been woken at 04.30 when the trains start running past the flat.
The train had a steam engine at one end, and yes it did run through the tunnels between Moorgate and Hammersmith.
And an electric Bo-Bo, Sarah Siddons, at the other. This train was a class act, and the we could see from our window the photographers crowding on the platform at Goldhawk Road taking pictures of the event. At one point it looked like they would miss the train as modern stock was in the platform blocking their view, but the train cleared in time for all to see the heritage special go by.
Final run of the day caught the new stock passing the other way to the old timers. London Underground put on a good show today.
Today I envy you and your location.
