Low budget movie references aside (kudos if you got it!), this has appeared on the LTM events page. Thought I'd make a thread about it, get it a bit of publicity on the forum. "Along the Northern line from Edgware, via the Kennington Loop and returning to Edgware or along the Piccadilly line from Cockfosters to Ealing Broadway." ticket.ltmuseum.co.uk/peo/show.aspELL |

I was fortunate enough to have a ticket on the 2.30pm trip from Edgware to Kennington, around the loop and back to Edgware again.
Having spent my youth travelling and enjoying the odd cab ride on the 38's in the 70's, this certainly took me back in time. My main knowledge was on the Barnet Branch as I lived at Mill Hill East and I remember vividly the days of full parallel down to Highgate southbound, full EP and filling the platform with brake dust! Speed sticks soon followed to stop this practice! Also remember some drivers heading out of Camden from the Barnet Branch via Bank under full parallel and giving the Guard (and anyone else near the back) a heavy jolt as the train swung around to the left over the points! No black boxes in those days.
On the trip today, heading North through the Hendon tunnel also brought back memories on feeling like the train was about to take off when existing the tunnel.It was a great trip and probably the last time the 38 will head onto the Northern Line due to TBTC. Sad really unless they do some night trips.
Certainly a day to remember.

It's unlikely to visit the Northern Line again as the next extension of TBTC is fast approaching, however having said that towards the end of yesterday's trip discussions were being had about the feasibility of one last visit. Time will tell whether it's possible to make this happen... |
