"The London Transport Museum is offering people the chance to take a trip on a 1930s art deco train next month. Restored heritage tube trains will be running along the Piccadilly line across the early May Bank Holiday to celebrate the dark blue line's 120th birthday."
"The four-carriage-long railcars' wooden frame windows and stunning red and green upholstery will transport you all the way back to before World War II. The 1938 stock was the first kind of tube train to have all the electrical equipment underneath the floor."
"On Saturday May 2 these historic carriages will be making their way between Northfields and the Heathrow Loop. Each journey will last approximately 45 minutes and starts and ends at the same place, meaning there's no hopping off halfway through."
"On Sunday May 3 and the subsequent Bank Holiday Monday on May 4, tickets will be available for journeys from Cockfosters to Northfields or Northfields to Cockfosters. These trips will last a total of 70 minutes."
The London Transport Museum is providing train enthusiasts the opportunity to ride on restored 1930s art deco trains during the early May bank holiday. This event celebrates the 120th anniversary of the Piccadilly line. The heritage tube trains feature wooden frame windows and vintage upholstery, representing a significant part of London Underground history. Three journey options are available, with trips lasting 45 to 70 minutes, all returning to the starting point. The event revives the historical practice of classifying early London Underground trains.
