There is a farewell tour planned for June 29th


http://www.ltmuseum.co.uk/whats-on/e...hicles-outings

Tickets priced £40 will be on sale from 2 June

Departing from Moorgate, this official last C stock tour covers its
former territory, including the Hammersmith & City, Circle and District
Lines and finishes at Hammersmith. Passengers will have the opportunity
to visit the London Transport Museum pop-up shop at Barking Station
during the lunch stop over.


My ticket is booked (by lunchtime the front and rear coaches were
already fully booked; looking now, the 6-car train is about 65% booked).

Anyone up for a utl meet somewhere en-route?

The only problem now is that the trip starts at 09:55 and the first
train from the Cambridge area doesn't seem to get me there before
11:15, although that's with the following comedy route according to
NRES (is the Circle/Met closed to normal trains?)

08:58 Ely [ELY] /FCC train/ London Kings Cross [KGX] 10:09
10:24 London Kings Cross [KGX] /Walk/ London St Pancras 10:25
10:42 London St Pancras /train/ Stratford International 10:48
10:53 Stratford International /Walk & Tube & DLR/ Moorgate 11:15


Can't you get there via Liverpool St? TfL think there are services from
there to Moorgate at the time. The 08:32 from Cambridge to Liverpool St
looks like it should get there in time.

later Ah! No arrival from Ely before 09:15. That's a bit fatal. You'll
have to drive to Cambridge then and park in Rustat Road or somewhere like
that.
