Steam will return to London's Metropolitan line in 2013, to celebrate the 100th birthday of Met No.1, the vintage steam locomotive based at the Buckingamshire Railway Centre, Quainton Road. The loco's restoration is due to begin in late 2011/early 2012. In 2013, the special "Met" event, organised by members of London Underground and Tyseley Locomotive Works will feature Met No.1 and London Transport Panniers L99 & L94. Steam has been absent from the "Met" for nearly 10 years and we are very much looking forward to its return in 2 year's time.

One thing is certain: We'll be there!!
