It’s Steam and Tea at TFL’s Steam on the Met 2016

London Transport will have heritage steam and tea trains on the Metropolitan line over their annual “Steam on the Met” event held on the weekend of September 10-11, 2016. The steam train will cover stops from Wembley Park to Amersham, I trip daily, and return trips from Amersham to Harrow on the Hill via diesel and back to Amersham via steam, with another one way via diesel from Amersham to Harrow on the Hill. This sounds a bit complicated but it all works out in the end. 

 How many of us have grown up with the images of steam trains taking off to exotic locales, and the special steam trains in those fun spy movies? Well at this annual event, you’ll get to experience a bit of historic nostalgia. The newest addition to the annual event has been the additions to Amersham station. There will be a vintage tearoom, lemonade and cake stands, vintage signage, and a pop up museum shop, as well as a history of Amersham station. 

It looks as if it will be a great weekend if you can get the time. It’s an interesting way to remember how much fun transit can be, when you take away the commuting aspect!
In addition to all of the fun events over the weekend, if you come on September 11th, you can take a bus from Amersham station to the Old Town and participate in the activities of their annual Heritage Day. Some of the activities will include fairgrounds, children’s activities, and market stalls, amongst other things. So, go ahead and make a day of it!
