The London Underground is running vintage 1930s trains on one of its top lines next month
YOU can ride on a vintage 1930s tube on the London Underground next month. Dating back 160 years, the London Underground is the oldest transport system of its kind in the world. 4 4 4 And whilst the Piccadilly line is due to get new trains, the London Transport Museum is first allowing people to ride on an art deco Underground train from 1938. The restored heritage train will be running along the Piccadilly line from Friday, July 11 to Sunday, July 13. However, you won't be paying the normal tube fare. Riders will need to buy a ticket in advance, with prices varying according to each day. On Friday, the train will take passengers on a return journey from Northfields and around the Heathrow loop via Terminal 4. There will be four services throughout the day and a 'gold ticket' for the front carriage is £30 per adult and £20 for kids. Bronze tickets costs £25 per adult and £15 per child. On the Saturday, there will be three 90-minute return journeys from Acton Town to Uxbridge. Tickets for these rides will cost £27.50 if you want to sit in the front or back carriages or £17.50 for children. The rest of the carriages will cost £25 per adult and £15 for children. Huge new £1.3billion redevelopment to create new 'cultural hub' in London On the final day - Sunday - riders can hop on for one of two one-way journeys from Ealing Broadway to Cockfosters for £30 in the gold car, or £20 for children. Or £25 for the bronze cars (£15 for children). Tickets can be booked on the London Transport Museums' website. According to Transport for London, the Piccadilly line opened as the Great Northern, Piccadilly & Brompton Railway on 15 December 1906. Originally, it ran between Finsbury Park and Hammersmith and the line remained much the same until the 1930s when it expanded rapidly, incorporating stations which are now regarded as classic examples of period architecture. A £100milllion beachfront attraction with indoor gardens and pools is also set to transform a seaside town. Plus, an up-and-coming city has revealed a major new attraction opening in 2026 – with links to Hollywood. 4

Why Jude Bellingham missed England training ahead of Senegal friendly
Jude Bellingham was the only England player to miss training on Monday ahead of their international friendly against Senegal. The Three Lions maintained their 100 per cent start to their World Cup qualifying campaign on Saturday with a 1-0 win away to Andorra. Their 'boring' and uninspiring performance left a lot to be desired however, with Thomas Tuchel looking for major improvement on Tuesday night when they take on Senegal. In his pre-match press conference, Tuchel hinted he would heavily rotate his side and said he had no new injury issues to worry about. Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins had pulled out of the squad before the Andorra game 'as a precaution due to a minor injury'. Wake up to find news on your club in your inbox every morning with Metro's Football Newsletter. Sign up to our newsletter and then select your team in the link we'll send you so we can get football news tailored to you. However, as the 25-man squad trained ahead of the friendly at the City Ground in Nottingham, there was one notable absentee in the form of Real Madrid midfielder Bellingham. The Football Association have since announced: '24 players are out training at St. George's Park this afternoon. 'Jude Bellingham is absent to attend a family funeral and will return to camp later today.' The 21-year-old started the win over Andorra but, like many of his teammates, struggled to make an impact and was replaced in the dying minutes by Morgan Gibbs-White. He will be available for selection against Senegal after which he will link back up with Real Madrid as they begin their Club World Cup campaign in the USA next week. It's been a big week for the Bellingham family with Jude's younger brother Jobe set to follow in his footsteps and sign for Borussia Dortmund. The 19-year-old played a key role in Sunderland's promotion campaign last season and was linked with a number of Premier League clubs including Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal. But he'll be playing in Germany next season after a record-breaking transfer fee was agreed between the Black Cats and Dortmund. Read the full story here. Dropping a few hints about his line-up against the African giants, Tuchel confirmed that Bukayo Saka will start having not been able to play the Arsenal star before because of injury and fitness issues. More Trending 'Very excited [to have Saka available],' the German said in his pre-match press conference. 'I could see he worked hard to come back from his injury. He had this minor discomfort in the last match which worried me a bit. 'He had just one training session with us. A full session and one half training session. We decided to not let him play, to not take any risks. 'But he trains with a smile, he had [on Sunday] an amazing training session with a lot of quality. He will start. Of course he's a key player for us.' For more stories like this, check our sport page. Follow Metro Sport for the latest news on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Belgium v Wales: World Cup 2026 qualifier
Update: Date: 2025-06-09T17:45:47.000Z Title: Preamble Content: If Wales are to qualify for the men's World Cup for just the third time in their history, getting something from this crucial qualifier will likely be a huge reason why. Despite a poor start to Belgium's campaign – a 1-1 draw with North Macedonia, their only game to date – Rudi Garcia's side are the overwhelming favourites to top Group J and claim the only automatic qualification spot. In a group also containing Kazakhstan and Liechtenstein, can a team that contains Kevin De Bruyne, Youri Tielemans, Romelu Lukaku and Jérémy Doku really manage to mess this up? Wales will be hoping the answer is yes. Craig Bellamy's side have made a good start to their campaign, drawing away at North Macedonia and beating Kazakhstan and Liechtenstein. A draw or a win in Brussels tonight would be an epic achievement but not completely off the cards. It has happened before and it can happen again, the spirit of Hal Robson-Kanu in 2016 looms large. Kick-off: 7.45pm BST.
