I came across this strange 2-car ex-Victoria Line unit in the siding
at Acton Town today:

I see it's been discussed on District Dave's forum:
http://districtdavesforum.co.uk/thre...emaining-units

Despite the Victoria Line sign in one cab window, it seems they're
actually 72TS, and rather smart. From the discussion, it seems that
these surviving cars don't currently have a use.


Downloaded my online edition of the Railway Magazine last night.
In a very similar photo the unit is described as a tunnel cleaning train
formed of 67and 72 stock.


The District Dave thread says that the tunnel cleaning train has been
cancelled, so the cars are currently without a use.


The RM photos says it was taken on March the 15th so it does seem a long
time for such an asset not too move, as District Dave is largely populated
by LU people I would think they would have the more accurate info.
