London Transport Museum’s 1938 Tube stock is back on the tracks. Join us as we celebrate its return on Sunday 22 May 2011 as part of the Rickmansworth Festival celebrations. Children can travel for free when accompanied by an adult.
The 1938 Tube stock was a technologically advanced train that was introduced in 1938 and remained in service for 50 years and Engine no. 12 Sarah Siddons which is the oldest working mainline electric locomotive will make special journeys between Harrow-on-the-Hill, Watford, Rickmansworth and Amersham. Sarah Siddons will pull carriages dating back to the 1950s.
