    There is a programme of activities that will take place during the next weekend linked from that page. A variety of Underground rail vehicles at are stored in Acton, including one of the early batch of Battery Locos, and the working collection of road vehicles in addition to the large collection of small and medium objects. I don't think the 38TS unit will be back from overhaul yet and the Q Stock cars are still in Acton Works yard.

    Regards,

    Dan

    The unrestored Standard Stock cars are there and the remains of the 1906 spiral escalator from Holloway Road.

    Plus the opportunity to have a ride in a preserved LT bus usually. Great place.
