Default Waterloo & City Line Car Lift Operation

Hello

For those unaware this weekend sees the operation to lift out via the access
shaft the Waterloo & City Line 1992 Tube Stock before despatching to
Doncaster for overhaul whilst the line is closed.

Some pictures I took earlier today are now uploaded to he

Waterloo Millenium Gardens provides a brilliant ringside seat and
subject to wind conditions, further cars should emerge from the
depths tomorrow (Sunday).

Its quite a spectacular sight! Notable that the old NSE Class 482
unit numbers are still visible on some car ends and there was a small
Balfour Beatty locomotive of some kind on a flatbed I assume waiting to be
lowered in.

Regards
John M Upton
