I'm suprised nothing's appeared on here already, but yesterday
afternoon (Sun 20 Aug) two cars of old 1983 stock were hoisted up onto
a roof on Great Eastern St. There are a couple of photos on Flickr
he http://www.flickr.com/photos/jailuss...n/photostream/
It looks from the pictures as if the cars are the stub of old line into
Broad St station- but why are they there? Can anyone solve the mystery?

I wonder if they are the ones that were removed from Uxbridge sidings a
couple of weeks go. I assumed they were on a one way journey to some
scrap yard.

Yes they are those units.

Let's just say it's been a bloody long process to get rid of the damn
things. We're currently trying to get rid of the static graffiti
display at Cockfosters as well.

Oh yes, and the Sarf Arrer ones too I don't doubt.

I gather, many months ago, a team descended on the CFS ones to establish
what would be required to get rid. My contact (one of the DMTs who
attended) advised that they've been there so long now that they're
rusted to the rails and require a huuge crane to get them out.
