Vintage tube trains, sounds like a good day out in Amersham for those
wishing to brave Travelcard Zone 9 *(though do remember that your
travelcard can't be used to ride the special trains).

It's a bit expensive though. Even I, as an enthusiast of old trains,
baulk at the thought of spending £15 for a short ride on the 1938
train, though if you have kids it could be a cheap day out as it's
only £5 for kids.

This is for the 1938 train, but as an incentive tickets do include
unlimited journeys on the 1923 Sarah Siddons train (which makes it a
more attractive option, although there's no guarantee you'll get a
place on the Sarah Siddons - on Ian's blog it says "but also include
unlimited free trips on Sarah Siddons if seats are available." *From
that it appears that they're not allowing people to stand on this
journey (which will also take away some of the authenticity of the
experience), and I guess that the likelihood of seats being available
will be pretty low, as it's only £5 for a ticket on the Siddons train,
and as I said it's free if you have bought a ticket for the 1938
train.

However, it does sound like a fun day out, furthermore it's a Sunday
so I am sure many here on this group will attend!

BUT ... what's the situation regarding photography? I remember last
year (maybe the year before that) when a photographer was accosted at
Amersham (?) by a jobsworth member of staff (PCO?) about taking pics
of Sarah Siddons.

Also are they only selling tickets in advance via the web as they did
last year? I'd prefer to turn up (if I can get there), pay and go.
