LU/Metronet special, featuring 20227 and No. 12 'Sarah Siddons'

10th June 2007

A private charter which sees the first passenger haulage for No. 12 since the merger of TfL and LUL.

The train, which ran Harrow - Amersham - Watford - Harrow, featured No. 12 running with 20227, a Steam on the Met favourite.

Although this tour was for invited guests I am reliably informed that this was run by Metronet as a trial prior to a series of shuttles later in the year.

Lets hope so.
