Special Heathrow trips for Tube anniversary

01 Jun 2023
Comments | 0

To celebrate the London Underground’s 160th birthday this year, the London Transport Museum and Transport for London are running special return journeys from Acton Town to Heathrow Terminal 4 and via Terminal 4 to Northfields on Saturday, June 10 and Sunday, June 11, on a restored, art deco-style 1938 Stock train, one of London’s longest-serving Tube trains.

The restored electrified train is made up of four cars, with green and red moquette seating, grab handles and art deco light fittings.

There will be four journeys on each of the two days. As part of the celebrations, costumed actors will enact the Underground’s history, and transport collectibles will be on sale at London Transport Museum’s Friends stall. 

Tickets for adults cost £28,50 (R700) and for children, £15 (R370).

The 1938 Stock was the first Tube train to have all the electrical equipment underneath the floor, combining the technology of the era with the late 1930s style. These trains served London on several deep-level Tube lines for half a century. Heathrow, however, had no rail connection from London until 1977.
