So did Britannia finally return from her repairs

A door was open

Just found this…listening now to his 70’s show with great sadness.

Good luck Johnnie

Unless I’m mistaken, these trains were used on the Island line on the Isle of Wight, until very recently.

I remember when I was a little kid in the 1950s , how I would travel with my dad on a Sunday morning to Uxbridge depot station and all the 1938 stock would be lined up Ready to go out how much I miss seeing that now..

Seeing the Met Line steam stock on display triggered a sight that used to stand outside King's Cross Station - the 'Annie' and 'Clarabel' pullman carriages. Where are they now?

That red train reminds me of the stock we had in Toronto in the 1970s. Not exactly the same, but all red.

Nice video, but this is what 14 years of austerity have done to London Underground stations outside of Central London. I couldn't ignore the state of Harrow on the Hill station - peeling paint everywhere. This is what outer London Underground stations looked like in the late 80's and early 90's! But the mayor's hands are effectively tied, due to the stance and policies of the government. The Tories have never properly understood that public transport needs constant investment..... especially in a large city like London. The trains and stations experience quicker wear and tear than conventional above ground National Rail trains and stations. Due to the greater volumes of people using them. Maybe a Labour win at the next election will see this deadlock, and refusal to fund properly - being lifted? This is imperative for a large capital city such as London. Please let's not let our outer London Tube stations get any tattier and run down. They NEED to have investment in them.

As with many older vehicles it has a design more stylish than the modern versions - especially the interiors. Does anyone know what caused the distinctive whining sound?

I remember as a child, when the train stopped, a noisy compressor started running!

We have this a lot at Ongar where I live as used to be the start of the central line we also get a lot of the old route masters that operate a route 339 3-4 days a week

When going home with my Grandparents from Plaistow to East Ham in the late 70s my Nan wanted to wait for a red train. She did not like the district trains and we must have been waiting for a metropolitan line now H&C.

I used to visit my grandmother in London from Nottingham in 1951 when I was five. I was shoved in the guard's compartment with the guard who was given half a crown. I remember vividly going through Harrow on the Hill. My grandmother would then meet me in the London Terminus and give the guard another half crown! The guards often let me look out the side observation windows. I have loved railways ever since!!

I love the 38 stock tube trains they were my first ever memories - on the Piccadilly line back in late 50's. How do you find out about these heritage days, who ru s them and how do you get tickets?

Sorry I missed seeing it in person.. Took me back to my days taking the bakerloo line to school.

Thank you for this great memory. I was lucky enough to be on the Amersham to Watford train, thank to my little sister buying a pair of tickets. It was part of the Amersham Heritage transport day. They have running old green line buses and static classic are and steam vehicles.

It’s not until you see it side by side with the modern stock that you realise how small the 38 stock is.

The motors sound just has good out in the open air as they did in the tunnels!.

Door open at 2.32. Is that a reminder of the new fangled elf n safety?

Evocative! Excellent work - thank you!

I didn't think they were allowed out of the tunnels, that's how I remember them?!🧐

Great video!! Love the sparks 😍

1938 stock was absolutely the best ever.

Some fantastic shots there Especially 17:35

I don't think that 1938 stock was used on the Metropolitan line.

0:43 Kid walking past that wonderful train staring at his 'Smart' phone!

That must be nice area were they have that old train model displayed near the start. If that was were i live it would be smashed up and covered in graffiti and them flowers destroyed 😔

they must have upgraded the traction equiptment on the 38 stock as the whole met is now 750 v dc

I love the 1938 stock. Traveled to work every day on these on the Bakerloo line back in the 70's Thanks for sharing

A1X Fenchurch in steam

Still have my Johnnie Walker Fan Club card ! Magic x I am 72 now x

I'll never forget my train journeys in my childhood. That was in the 1950s and 60s. It was really beautiful.

A grand engine. Great journeys on that line.

An imitation of, not just primetime British Railways, but how happy and relaxing Britain once was.

Nice, like that.

92207, 92219 and 92245 are awaiting restoration in varying degrees of intactness. I know that 92245 is moved to Peak Rail for future restoration

92203 Black Prince was the only 9F not to be sent to the Woodham Brothers scrapyards in Barry, South Wales

Great radio days Radio Caroline put the wind up the BBC.
