London Underground in central London, with steam operation to cease entirely
from 2021, following signalling upgrades on the District, Hammersmith and City,
Circle and Metropolitan lines.
(4) It is reported that the first run of the day was nearly 2 hours late after a
fault arose in the electrical pickup shoe-gear on 'Sarah Siddons', which heavily
delayed its movement from Ruislip Depot.
