Railtour fantrip train passes through Wembley Park station.

The unlikeliest train ever! London transport and GWR steam locomotives haul a class 305 electric multiple unit plus MK2 and Mk1 passenger coaches through Wembley Park station one Thursday evening. At the end a London Transport battery locomtive tails the train.

The train was on a test trip for a 'Steam on The Met' event the coming weekend.

I never knew Metro No.1 had a mainline ticket

@KinletHallsthebest Hi there, what is 'Metro No1'?

Simon

[SouthernRailwayFan]

@citytransportinfo Metro No.1 is a the leading engine. No.1 is a Metropolitan railway's E class steam locomotive, with an 0-4-4t wheel arrangement. The engine behind is an Great Western 9400 class pannier tank, with 0-6-0pt wheel arrangement. I hope that answers your question, both engines are located at the Buckinghamshire railway centre.

@SouthernRailwayFan

Thanks :-)

As it happens, yesterday I was digitising another video tape and included in the scenes was a Pannier tank hauling a single carriage passing Northwick Park on the northbound fast line.

What livery are the last two coaches in?

[CadenceCPK]

@citytransportinfo Yeah, nice fresh diesel smoke, but I wonder if it's too much...

[KinletHallsthebest]

The red loco at the front doing all the black smoke

Love that all the windows are open on that 305, going to smell pretty good for the next lot of commuters who use it!

Was that a 308, in tow there?
