Great sight seeing the train pull into Uxbridge Station - albeit late -
filling the entire station with smoke and steam!!! But they didn't wait
long before returning to Harrow. Met Locomotive No 1 was the star. But
behind it was Sarah Siddons. And the station staff were very obliging in
allowing free access to the platforms. Not that there were lot of folk
there on what was a nice sunny Sunday afternoon. The ex-BR Mark 1
carriages were a bit naff though with the vinyl Met. timber-look-alike
transfers. Metropolitan Railway ‘Jubilee’ carriage No. 353 looked immaculate though. CJB.
Err... Are you sure you were there, because Met No. 1 wasn't! It failed
the previous night and was replaced by the Prairie tank in Met livery
with bogus number L150. A good day all round despite a bit of late
running, and a glorious sunset to boot.
In the absence of any pics from Uxbridge, here's some pics I took of some
of the same stock at an LU150 event on the EOR earlier this year:
