    Must be a treat for driver and firman to have billy Joel on the footplate with them! 😂. Jokes aside. Brilliant video. Love this little loco and what a joy to have an insiders view of her in action. Thanks for sharing this.

    In one part of the UK you can ride a steam train on what used to be a Tube line, while in another you can ride a tube train on what used to be a steam line...
  • @4:56 is there still ANY steam on the cyliders, or is thevalve gear at neutral and train just coasting? So quiet! (not that I don't enjoy the regular sounds of induced draft working engine.)

    I've heard friends of mine say how bad Metropolitan 1 is but I don't know it thats true.
  • Who’s the the third man in the cab? Engineer? I can identity the fireman and driver. He’s wearing a blue important coat , maybe he’s a railway inspector.
