I presume you mean 1967 stock. *I assume that driving it in
purely manual mode in short formation won't be a problem?

The stock earmarked for the Island Line is either 1972 or 1973
stock. The 1972 stock is almost identical to 1967 stock but has
manual diving controls.

67 stock also has manual controls. But it seems that they are set
up similar to the Berlin U-Bahn in that the controller and the
deadman feature are separate, whereas they are integrated into
one on all other underground stock here.

In A stock isn't there still a separation between handle/
controller and brake, integrated from C69 stock onwards? *Not the
same separation you mean, I guess, but I'd have thought more
likely to be how 1967 stock is, given that that's how it was on
LU.

http://www.squarewheels.org.uk/rly/s...bsurfaceStock/
has a photo of an A stock driver's desk if anyone cares to analyse
it.

Anything for the 67s?

Not showing the cab (go down to the bottom and select "Underground
trains" to get yourself in the right starting position). There is one
elsewhere

:-http://www.trainweb.org/tubeprune/67%20TS%20Orig%20Cab%20Photos.htm
which seems to be a well-used London Transport Museum photo.
(the only image supplied by Google for +"1967 stock" +cab which
interestingly offers a scantily-clad young lady riding a bomb among
its selection). Possibly there are more in the LTM collection if those
are still available on-line.- Hide quoted text -

So a combined one then, at least when built. So I was wrong about C69
being the first.

C69 stock was the first for conventional driving. The 67 TS was
automatically driven from new. Manual driving was not at full speed.

I guess that what's in the picture is exactly what they've got in
1972 stock now, but has it been changed since I wonder?
