Rail cycles on the Tube.

[Tiny Tim]

I've just watched 'Under Night Streets' a British Transport film from the 1950s showing maintenance workers on the Tube. The Inspector rides a rail-mounted cycle to check up on his crews. Does anyone know if any of these rather specialised machines survive, or when they were last used?

http://www.velocipedes.co.uk/ think that may have some info on them

Yes, that certainly covers it, thankyou. That's one specialist organisation!

And where would we be without such esoteric bodies!
