The star of the 150th Anniversary of the London Underground celebrations in 2012, visited Didcot for a May Bank Holiday Weekend Steam Gala in 2014. The Metropolitan Railway originally had a very close relationship with the Great Western Railway, with the GWR supplying locomotives to the Met at first and the Paddington to Farringdon line being built to Brunel's Broad Gauge originally. The Met's own locomotives replaced the Great Western locos after a year, but now 150 years on this event celebrated the original close bonds between the two companies.
