What are the chances of getting a ride on it, as I know that they have

We tried asking on an official visit, and it was made very clear that
there was not any chance at all, even when it was still operational.
I know for sure that there was an enthusiasts' trip in September 2008 which
traversed the line from Paddington to Whitechapel. I personally travelled
(with an organised group) from Mount Pleasant to Whitechapel and back on the
10th March 1994 in the 14-seat 'VIP' coach. I seem to recall we had to
detrain whilst the train ran round the turning circle at Whitechapel.
