Default London Transport - Steam on the Met.

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.
