Default Today is the last chance to travel on a 1967 stock Vic Line train

"Issued to: All Victoria line staff
As asset replacement work to commission new signalling equipment
advances the '67 stock will no longer be able to operate on the
Victoria line.

The last day of '67 stock passenger operation between Seven Sisters
and Brixton will be on Thursday 30 June 2011. Train number 247 will be
marked as the official last train in the evening peak. It will leave
Seven Sisters at 15:52, perform six runs up and down the line, and
finish at Seven Sisters at 19:32.

[snip timetable]

Please note these times are subject to the service on the day.

The train will be operated by two of the most senior drivers on the
line and should be a memorable occasion for all."

If I see one I might get on. But I don't have any special memories of
them.


Blimey, it's last orders at the Vic already - I knew it was soon, but it
would appear that soon is now! It seems only recently that some people were
asking where all the new 09 stock was hiding.
