Title: Steam train takes to London Underground in test run (BBC News 17/12/2012) Post by: JayMac on December 17, 2012, 18:56:14 A video news item from the BBC (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-20759707):
Quote A steam train built more than 100 years ago took to London's Underground system at the weekend. Transport for London is operating a service on 13 January to commemorate 150 years since the first London Tube journey. A test run took place in the early hours of Sunday morning in preparation for the 300 passengers who applied for tickets through a ballot. Peter Hendy of Transport for London, Sam Mullins of London Transport Museum and train driver Jeffrey Phelps feature in this report by BBC London's Sonja Jessup.
