My housemate and I were on the 12.30 tour on Saturday... and we have to say we both thoroughly enjoyed the tour. It was fascinating to see a train from 1938ish still in such good condition (whether it's restored or not, we don't really care) and also the history about the use of the tube stations in the blitz was most intersting.
I do remember being taught about the tube stations being used in History (I was at school in Scotland) but never about the use of the tunnels to store the lights of the Elgin marbles etc.
Well played to the staff, and volunteers of the LTM for such a fabulous day out.
Although I'm sure they added more steps when we were down at platform level as it felt a long way up!
Our only constructive criticism of the event is that after the narators recorded message there should have been a longer pause before the recorded advertising announcement about the other events etc. as it spoiled the moment as people could have heard a pin drop as we were standing there on the platform.
