So, are they gone or not?


4 or 5 running in evening peak on Tuesday (3 July) including fast Aldgate
to Amersham. But not as fast as I think I remember they used to go.


No, the top speed was reduced significantly after the bogies starting

stock speed, but still lower than the original A stock speed.
