It was probably just a service train for the infrsatructure. Freight
service on the Metropolitan line ended late 50s/early 60s, though somebody
else here will know better than I.


The description is exactly right for an S stock delivery train.


I found this S Stock delivery train pic online:

Where would the S-Stocks be coming from, remind me?

BTW, when are S7s due to come into revenue service? I have seen some
stations on the District Line fitted with car markers and S7.


Last I read, LUL were not accepting more "S" stock, until problems
with existing deliveries are resolved.
