1938 Stock on the Jubilee Line, 5th August

I think this is the right forum for this!

Two special trains will be run on the Jubilee Line on Wednesday 5th August using the restored 1938 Tube Stock, which is part of the London Transport Museum collection at Acton. This will probably the last chance to see any heritage stock running on the eastern half of the Jubilee Line before the signalling is upgraded to a moving block system.

If people want to photograph it in an under ground station then I would suggest not doing it at Westminster, Waterloo, Southwark, London Bridge, Bermondsey, Canada Water, Canary Wharf or North Greenwich as these station are equipped with platform edge doors!

they ran a couple of spacials at the Hendon RAF Museum, which were 'possibly the last run of 1938 stock' before the new block signaling is finished. they ran from edgware via the kennington loop to colindale for the Museum, on the 21st June, or there abouts. could be the volunteers at the museum are searching out oppertunities anywhere and everywhere before the deadline, here's a link to the train on the museum website:-

It seems that due to the high demand for tickets they decided to do a passenger run to get the train back to the depot, so it ran Russel square to Ealing broadway full of thuso's no doubt, well done whoever runs the underground.
