We love steam! Acton Depot open weekend, 13-14 April

 
9 January 2014

Join Acton Depot for its annual spring Open Weekend on April 13 and 14, as the Tube continues to celebrate its 150th anniversary, as the world’s oldest underground railway.

Over two days the Metropolitan Steam Locomotive No.1 will be in light steam and visitors will have the opportunity to enjoy footplate rides on Ffestiniog Railway’s 150 year old steam engine Prince, as well as rides on a miniature railway.

Other Acton Open Weekend events include model displays, curator led tours of the small objects store, film screenings, hands on workshops, talks, book signings and family fun sessions.
