A Victoria line driver who celebrates 25 years driving on the Underground this year, piloted the last 1967 train on its last journey up the Victoria line.
Samuel Oranga, a driver since 1986, took the controls as staff and enthusiasts joined bemused passengers to celebrate the last run on 30th June.
Superb new trains, rumoured to be among the most efficient and competitively built in Europe, are now running on the Victoria line.
The new trains are being built by top performing railway men and women at Litchurch Lane in Derby.
The new Bombardier trains have superior acceleration and use regenerative braking, creating a cooler environment for staff and passengers.
New signalling allows headways to be reduced on the busy Victoria line, something warmly welcomed by passengers.
When the Victoria line upgrade is completed in 2012, capacity will be increased by 21%. By the time of the Olympics there will be 30 trains an hour, a train every two minutes, during peak periods.
