All the A stock trains were either 4 or 8-car (no 3-car units). I seem
to recall that the 4-car double-ended unit trains ran mainly at
weekends (in the 1970s, I lived in a flat that had a distant view of
the Met line).


I used A-stock to get to London and back (often outside normal commuting
hours) in the 90's, and don't recall ever seeing a short unit.


My recollections are from the 1970s Roland.


I used to see them at Amersham on my way to school when they were first
introduced. I don't recall any short sets but I only saw them weekdays.
