Excellent. The Metropolitan was inovative in its day. It is good to
see one of their cars restored.

One wonders where the Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland Railway intend to
run this vehicle.

It's going to be run on LU, not the F&WHR (they were just the
contractors for the restoration).

It's now back at the LT Museum Depot in Acton, and looks absolutely
fantastic in the flesh.

Presumably not through any of their bridges or tunnels. Or even on
their tracks, for that matter.
