If you're of my vintage or older, you'll remember these trains still in service on the Bakerloo line in the late 1980s. 

No if you're heritage or transport minded. you can ride them again in limited availability trips on the wets end of the Piccadilly Line between Friday July 11 and Sunday July 13, (the only north-south / east-west option is sold out).

The trips on 1930s art-deco stock tube train carriages will be run by the London Transport Museum.

First built in 1938, these trains were the first kind of tubes that utilised electrical equipment underneath the floor, and served major parts of the London Underground network for over 50 years.

Londoners will have the rare chance to ride aboard one of these heritage trains throughout various times over the weekend, with tickets starting from £25 for adults and £15 for children, with carers and under 3s admitted for free.

Lasting between 45 and 90 minutes depending on the route, these rides will allow you to take a nostalgic trip on the London Underground with either Gold or Silver (front) or Bronze (middle) carriages available to book, with seating allocated on a first come first served basis.

The trains will run between Northfields and the Heathrow Loop, as well as between Uxbridge and Acton Town, and between Ealing Broadway and Cockfosters.
