Steam on the Underground- 20th of January 2013

Some footage of the second weekend of the Steam on the Underground event ran for the 150th anniversary of the London Underground system. The locos featured are Metropolitan Steam locomotive number 1, and Metropolitan Electric Locomotive number 12 'Sarah Siddons'. It used a set of original teak coaches that were used on the Chesham branch services, that are now in use at The Bluebell Railway, other vehicles were Jubilee Coach 353, and a former metropolitan railway milk van. The ensemble are seen first at King's Cross St Pancras, with Met 1 leading, then at Paddington, with Sarah Siddons Leading, after being diverted from Edgware road to Gloucester Road after a points failure. After that, they are seen at Euston Square, with Met 1 Leading, Farringdon with Sarah Siddons leading, with Met 1 providing rear end power, thanks to the CSA for the commentary. It is seen finally at Barbican and then at Baker Street.
