Heritage Trains To Take Over London Tube, Where Tickets Start 25 Euros

London commuters will soon get a rare chance to step back in time as historic Tube trains are set to return to the underground network next month. People will get the opportunity to ride a 1930s Art Deco train from the early May Bank Holiday weekend to mark the dark blue line's 120th anniversary.

The 1938 stock was the first type of Tube train to house all its electrical equipment beneath the floor, and it ran on several of the capital's deep-level Underground routes for fifty years. The train features wooden-framed windows and red and green upholstery. The four-carriage railcars will take you back to the era before World War II.

The heritage journeys will take place on the Piccadilly Line. Three different options are on offer, running through some of the oldest tunnels in the entire underground network. On May 2, these historic carriages will run between Northfields and the Heathrow Loop. Each journey will last approximately 45 minutes and start and end at the same location.

On May 3 and 4, tickets will be available for trips between Cockfosters and Northfields, or between Northfields and Cockfosters. Once again, every route includes a return journey, so you will finish where you began. Each of these rides will take 70 minutes in total.

While you would not be able to book a particular seat, you can choose between a gold or a bronze ticket. The gold ticket allows you to travel at the front in the first carriage and costs £30 for adults and £20 for children. Bronze tickets are for the middle and rear carriages of the train. These are priced at £25 for adults and £15 for children, though kids under three travel free on all routes.

The regular Oyster card used on the London Underground would not work for these journeys. You will have to book tickets in advance.
