Just found this on youtube. I thought this tour had been called off?

A related video is the 38Ts returning to the depot.

There don't appear to be any power rails from the museum entrance. Did
he coast it in the whole way or was it being shoved from behind? I
presume a battery loco is needed to get the trains out of the museum.

It's not a battery loco. It must be some sort of diesel. I'll find out!

That didn't seem consistent with the sound track in which I'm sure I
could hear the unit motoring.

After this railtour it was suggested the 1938 stock might also appear
in normal service on the last day of the ELL, but this did not happen.

AIUI because the platform height at Canada Water means there would be
a big step up from the floor of the train up to the level of the
platform.
