circle at Whitechapel.
Was this part of Open House? How did you find out about it? I don't recall
it being mentioned here.

Four trips in 1994 were organised through the Branch Line Society. *I think
it entailed us all joining a 'Friends of the Post Office' (or some such)
group. *If your question related to the 2008 trip, I only know about it
because a friend went - I don't know how that trip was organised.

Yes, I've travelled on it as well, but my memory fades as to how long
ago it was. It was certainly earlier than 2008, and still working. We
got a trip on a Saturday, I think, before Sunday colldections started
& it was quiet.
THe VIP coach experience mentioned above rings a bell too, but we did
the full length of the line.
It was combined with a trip down Aldwych tube station....
