Where can I view this, anyone got a timetable?

Setting foot on the platform, you could be forgiven for thinking you had travelled back in time and arrived in the golden age of steam.

It's all there - the smell of burning coal, the hissing of the steam and the clanking of the wheels as an engine is shunted back and forth.

But this is no 1930s fantasy. It's Baker Street station - and it's all happening in the here and now.

For the first time in more than 100 years, a steam train was carrying passengers on the Tube yesterday.

In a test run for London Underground's 150-year anniversary celebrations, a restored original locomotive hauled a Victorian first-class carriage from Earl's Court to Moorgate.
