“The Ginny” (1950s) The Acton Town to South Acton shuttle was a District Line service connecting the two stations via a now closed spur. It was also known as “the kettle run” since the crew could set off from Acton Town, travel the short distance to South Acton and back and the tea making started at Acton Town would be finished upon their return. It was the first example of One Person Operation on the Underground - the little trains had a driver but no guard. The justification was that there was only one car on the train.
