We tried asking on an official visit, and it was made very clear that
there was not any chance at all, even when it was still operational.
I know for sure that there was an enthusiasts' trip in September 2008
which traversed the line from Paddington to Whitechapel. I personally
travelled (with an organised group) from Mount Pleasant to Whitechapel
and back on the 10th March 1994 in the 14-seat 'VIP' coach. I seem to
recall we had to detrain whilst the train ran round the turning circle
at Whitechapel.
Was this part of Open House? How did you find out about it? I don't
recall it being mentioned here.
