Celebrating 40 years of tube trains on the Isle of Wight.
Ex-London Underground trains have operated on the Isle of Wight railway system since 1967 when pre World War II stock was brought into service and have carried locals and holiday makers on the Ryde to Shanklin line via Sandown. This programme tells the story of the Underground trains on the island and includes archive footage provided by the London Transport Museum along with many photographs.
This DVD delves into the early London history of the three lines from which the stock eminated, the Piccadilly, the now defunct Northern City and later the Northern. The early beginnings of the London Underground itself - the world's first underground - is also highlighted.
