Cab It!

Upon arrival you will be given a health and safety briefing and introduced to your guide. Before the tour starts, you’ll be split into small groups of 5 people.   

You’ll visit a variety of driver’s cabs. These may include the Standard Stock, the 1940 Tube Stock from the Waterloo & City line, and our recently overhauled 1938 Tube Stock amongst others. Please note that this is a working Depot, and this list is subject to change as driver’s cabs may be unavailable at short notice. 

We recommend that all ticket holders arrive 15 minutes in advance of their tour time. Latecomers may not be admitted.  

No, children under 16 are not permitted on the tour. 

Your tour will last for 2 hours 30 minutes, and will involve walking or standing for most of the time.

Cab It! is unfortunately not suitable for wheelchair users, as due to the nature of the collection the vehicles are not accessible for wheelchairs. Access to the cabs involves climbing some steps. 

Please note that the Depot is a working building, and while we take every care to eliminate all possible trip hazards, there are rail tracks and grooves set in the floor which may not be suitable for those with a visual impairment or general mobility concerns.

Accessible toilet facilities are located next to the main reception.

Service animals are permitted inside the Depot building. 

The Museum Depot train shed is not heated, so we advise guests to wrap up during the colder months.  

Yes, you can bring a bag to the Museum Depot. However, due to the small size of the driver’s cabs on the tour, we ask any guests with large bags to place them in our lockers at the start of the tour. Our lockers take a £1 coin that you will get back at the end. 

Yes, toilet and baby changing facilities are available. Accessible toilet facilities are located next to the main reception.  

To protect the vehicles, food and drink is not permitted during the main part of the tour, with the exception of bottled water.

There is a selection of cafes a short walk from the Depot. 

There is a maximum group size of 20 on each Cab It! tour.

Before the tour starts, you will be split into smaller groups of 5.  

Photography is allowed for private purposes in the main shed only, but tripods are not allowed. We do not allow photography in any of the small stores.
