Guests aboard a beautifully restored 1938 burgundy Underground train will be treated to a trip across central London on Sunday 9 June as they travel on the Piccadilly line from Acton Town station in west London to Oakwood station in north London. Single tickets are also available from Oakwood station to Acton Town station. The Piccadilly Sunday Special outing will launch a season of heritage events organised by London Transport Museum on the London Underground network.
All four Heritage Train Journeys events taking place over the summer in the months of June, July, August and September, will involve the much-loved 1938 Art Deco-style train which was one of the capital’s longest serving Tube trains and is a relic of London’s transport past. Some events will include costumed actors from a bygone era, craft workshops, souvenir booklets, a transport collectibles stall or a talented busker.
Families, transport enthusiasts, vintage fans and those looking for a nostalgic experience of the golden age of travel can choose from the following events
At this first event of 2024 passengers will travel from Acton Town station along the central London section of the Piccadilly line all the way to Oakwood station. The journey will take approximately 50 minutes. For those wishing to start their travels in north London there are single tickets from Oakwood station to Acton Town station.
At Oakwood station guests can enjoy a mini talk about the architect Charles Holden and how his innovative station design has played a major role in shaping the appearance of London. At Acton Town station guests will be able to shop for transport collectibles at a pop-up stall run by the London Transport Museum Friends. Guests will receive an informative souvenir booklet to remember their experience.
