YOU can ride on a vintage 1930s tube on the London Underground next month.
Dating back 160 years, the London Underground is the oldest transport system of its kind in the world.
And whilst the Piccadilly line is due to get new trains, the London Transport Museum is first allowing people to ride on an art deco Underground train from 1938.
The restored heritage train will be running along the Piccadilly line from Friday, July 11 to Sunday, July 13.
However, you won’t be paying the normal tube fare.
Riders will need to buy a ticket in advance, with prices varying according to each day.
On Friday, the train will take passengers on a return journey from Northfields and around the Heathrow loop via Terminal 4.
There will be four services throughout the day and a ‘gold ticket’ for the front carriage is £30 per adult and £20 for kids.
Bronze tickets costs £25 per adult and £15 per child.
On the Saturday, there will be three 90-minute return journeys from Acton Town to Uxbridge.
Tickets for these rides will cost £27.50 if you want to sit in the front or back carriages or £17.50 for children.
The rest of the carriages will cost £25 per adult and £15 for children.
On the final day – Sunday – riders can hop on for one of two one-way journeys from Ealing Broadway to Cockfosters for £30 in the gold car, or £20 for children.
Or £25 for the bronze cars (£15 for children).
Tickets can be booked on the London Transport Museums’ website.
According to Transport for London, the Piccadilly line opened as the Great Northern, Piccadilly & Brompton Railway on 15 December 1906.
Originally, it ran between Finsbury Park and Hammersmith and the line remained much the same until the 1930s when it expanded rapidly, incorporating stations which are now regarded as classic examples of period architecture.
A £100milllion beachfront attraction with indoor gardens and pools is also set to transform a seaside town.
Plus, an up-and-coming city has revealed a major new attraction opening in 2026 – with links to Hollywood.
