150 years ago this month the london underground which funnily enough is in london opened to the public and ran it's first trains, 150 years later the opening was celebrated when a steam locomotive once again wandered the london underground. running between kensington olympia to moorgate via high street kensington metropolitan railways E class number 1 with 6 metropolitan railway carriages and metropolitan railways electric locomotive number 12 sarah siddons ran on the underground through stations such as euston square and king's cross st pancras the latter of which now looks very different compared to them early days. the excursions proved to be a success both with those crazy enough to pay £150 for a single trip, enthusiasts and the general public with many of the platforms along the route being very crowded.
I went along to celebrate and see steam where i'd never seen it before and i was just blown away by the amount of people and seeing steam in pretty much the last place i ever expected to see it
thanks to london underground for pulling off such an amazing event and thanks to all those who joined me on this adventure and hope to see you all again soon
