Prior to London Underground's new automatic signalling upgrade project being completed and switch on, the London Transport Museum's heritage Art Deco 1938 tube stock set made what could be a farewell heritage tour around the Central London section of the sub surface lines on the existing signalling.
The heritage 1938 stock is formed of two driving motor cars (DMs) 10012 [A-end] and 11012 [D-end], with one non-driving motor car (NDM) 12048, and one intermediate trailer car (T) 012256, the set comprised is formed as DMa-T-NDM-T-DMd 10012-012256-12048-11012.
The tour comprised two trips, the first from Ealing Broadway to Moorgate via and entire clockwise lap of the Circle line. The second trip comprised a run up the Metropolitan line from Moorgate to Amersham, and then back to Ealing Common via Harrow-on-the-Hill and Rayners Lane.
This post serves as a pictorial journey of this London Underground heritage outing.
