It doesnt make sense running a 38 stock to Uxbridge!!
Celebrating 100 years of the Met with a tube stock that never operated on
that line.
Apart from the Piccadilly Line which used to run 38 stocks to Uxbridge
amongst other places.



Looks as thought it was planned for Sarah Siddons plus TC set. Is she
indisposed?

I am surprised tube stock is allowed to pick up/set down passengers at
Amersham. Surely the platforms are full height.

They are.

And Sarah is gone from the Met - I think she was transferred to Quainton
Road via roadway. Besides, the Met earthworks are too weak for a loco
capable of dragging a rake of compartment stock, and not only are there
no runaround loops to put the loco the right-way around on the end of
the train at Amersham, but the HSE would probably have a ragbaby.
