Anyone know about the 83ts at South Harrow, Neasden and Uxbridge? I
gather the Cockfosters units have gone.


As far as I know, there are still one or two trains at South Harrow and
Uxbridge sidings, and two trains stored in 32 and 33 sidings near
Cockfosters station. In addition to this, there are various cars stored

in
the p-way sidings at Neasden depot (those already moved from Uxbridge

and
South Harrow), which are in the (not particularly hurried) process of

being
prepared for scrapping.

Also there was some 1972ts at the Bakerloo Depot near Lambeth (name
escapes me) and also near Kensington (again depot name escapes me)
anyone know more?


I believe that one unit remains stored at London Road depot; the one at
Lillie Bridge was there as of two Wednesdays ago. Apart from one or two
units stored at Acton Works, all the remaining stored 1972 stock is at
Shoeburyness AFAIK.


Are any of these trains photographable from public places? I know the
83ts at Cockfosters can be done off the train (any nearby footpaths?),
South Harrow has a bridge right by as well but the others I am not so
sure on, can anyone help? All photos will be for website purposes!!


There is still an 83 train in Uxbridge sidings, next to Sainsburys so quite
readily photographable. But it is covered in graffiti of course.
