Rolling stock used included

former Metropolitan District Railway coach No. 100.

This event was billed as being probably the last time a heritage steam train

would be seen in central London on the Underground

due to the impending installation of a new signalling system on the network.

One locomotive, No. 5 John Hampden,

is preserved as a static display at London Transport Museum

and another, No. 12 Sarah Siddons,

has been used for heritage events, most recently in June 2019

running in conjunction with Metropolitan Railway Locomotive No. 1

on steam excursions to mark the 150th anniversary

of the opening of the District Railway.
