To celebrate 30th anniversary of the Jubilee line, there is an opportunity to run London Transport Museum's 1938 Tube train along the Jubilee line. This may be the last chance to run this tube train on the Jubilee line before the line upgrades it's signalling.

There are two journeys during the day, one of which will be via a disused station at Charing Cross, where you will have the opportunity to alight, explore and take a quick photograph.

Sounds good, sadly next Wednesday I doubt I could spare the time to go! Maybe I could sneak down to Waterloo to see it go through.

At least try to get to a station without great chunks of steel and glass impairing your vision ;)

Good point, I forgot about that. Maybe Green Park or Bond Street then...
