1938 STOCK TUBE TOURS

Ever wanted to take a step back in time? Well thanks to some London Underground apprentices working alongside the London Transport Museum, now's your chance! They are giving you the chance to step aboard a heritage London Transport '1938 Stock' tube train and travel over former Bakerloo and current Jubilee line tracks into the now-disused Jubilee line platforms at Charing Cross. There's also the opportunity to travel over parts of the Piccadilly and Metropolitan lines.

The reason for this event is so that in 2008 London Underground's 'Operational Apprentices' can travel to Eskdale, Cumbria, to carry out restoration work in aid of the Outward Bound Trust - an educational charity that inspires young people to fulfil their potential through challenging outdoor experiences, raising self-esteem and preparing them to face the future with confidence. In addition to raising money for the apprentices to visit Eskdale, the event will help raise public awareness of the Outward Bound Trust, the Operational Apprentice Scheme and the work of the London Transport Museum (who own, lovingly restored and operate the heritage tube train).

Three trips will take place on Sunday 16th September and each will include the former Bakerloo line from Stanmore and/or Wembley Park, and the disused branch of the Jubilee line into Charing Cross. Tickets are being sold on a first-come-first-serve basis and prices can be found below, along with the timings and routings.
