Not sure if it should go here, but it sounds about right as it is a question about a type...
I was sat at home reading about the 38 stock and I suddenly wondered if there was anything preventing, technical wise, the LT museum's train going all the way to Heathrow T5 and back again. If the tunnels for the Heathrow area were built to the same limits as the rest of the network, more or less, is there anything that stop it doing such a trip? It has been something that I have thought about, on and off, for a while now - now I am a member here, I thought I would ask more knowledgeable people
If there is such a reason or reasons that prevent it, then what are they?

I never knew it had done it...
Looked online and found no firm answer, so that picture is nice to see.
Would there be restrictions on which route/routes it could use due to rolling stock issues or would it be able to use the Picc all the way in?

Here's some blurb from a Google search: Going Underground's Blog
