3.14 could be very interesting; will it include only current passenger stocks, or preserved ones aswell? And then what about the odd surviving cars, or stock that hasn't been fully restored yet.

Can steam trains still be used in the SSR tunnels? Haven't the ventilation shafts been blocked now?
I hope there are programmes about the early years of the network. With all the different companies falling over themselves to build underground railways through London, it is quite an interesting time to look back on.
Also, they should produce a guide book saying where the best places are to see heritage artifacts, eg the bridges near West Hampstead that bear the name Metropolitan Railway. Historic Tube.

Steam locos did transfer trips (I don't think passengers were carried) via SSR tunnels during the Steam on the Met events a few years ago.
Odd that there is no mention (other than the typo confusing it with Met no.1) of Sarah Siddons - the last operational item of Metropolitan Railway rolling stock still in LUL ownership.

There is a plan to run a steam test train at some point (I would imagine in engineering hours ) and use some very very old Met Rly carriages. There will have to be a bit of work done to then first though to run on LU, which will need paying for!
