The London Transport Traction Group was formed towards the end of May 2020 with the founding aim of preserving an example of the Class 483 -1938 Tube Stock- Electric Multiple Units currently in use on South Western Railway's Island Line route. The group has been in negotiations with the Epping Ongar Railway regarding the storage and operation of a unit and is currently making the necessary enquiries about acquiring a unit.
We would intend that the unit be able to power itself, whether that be via on-board Batteries. In the distant future we are considering the preservation of one of Transport for London's venerable Battery Electric Locomotives and are investigating the possibility of preserving other vintage tube stock.
