Vintage Summer
Steam on the Metropolitan
Heritage train
trips and pop-up tea room
Saturday 10th
and Sunday 11th September 2016
Combine
nostalgic steam train travel with tea and cake for a late summer treat.
Customers can travel back in time on a beautifully restored steam train and
enjoy a pop-up vintage tea experience at Amersham station on the weekend of 10th
and 11th September 2016.
London Transport
Museum has teamed up with ‘Jam and Tea’, organisers of bespoke vintage tea
parties, to create a colourful retro pop-up tea room at Amersham station which
is on the famous Metro-land route of times gone by.
Delicious tea
and cake presented on charming vintage crockery will be served on the station
platform by ‘Jam and Tea’ staff dressed in vintage
floral pinnies and country tweeds for steam
day-trippers who have purchased a special combined tea and steam event ticket.
Music from the 1940s will add to the atmosphere while children will have their
own paper tea sets, tasty treats and a range of drinks to choose from.
Tickets are
limited for this special event so those wishing to sample this unique tea are recommended to book early.
On Sunday 11th
September passengers can take a free heritage bus ride from Amersham Station to
Amersham Old Town where the town’s annual Heritage Day is taking place. Expect
live bands and performances, market stalls, a children’s area and fairgrounds.
The steam train will be pulled by Met No.1, which was used during the 150th anniversary celebrations of the London Underground, and L150 on a journey to or from Amersham Station.
