Hey people,


I went out last weekend to photograph the 83ts which are near
Liverpool St being used by an artist I believe, photos found he
http://www.tonysrailphotos.fotopic.net/


What i was wondering is what has happened to the other stock that was
dumped around the network? Can anyone update on:-


South Harrow; any 83ts left in there or has it all now finally gone?


MOD Pigs Bay: I believe was home to some Mk 1 72ts, gone or just
forgotten in there?


Acton Works: 1 train of Mk 1 72ts, gone?


Uxbridge Sidings; I know some of them are now on the studio roof near
Liverpool St and one was gutted by fire, are there any left there?


Neasden; one time home to 83ts, heard they had left for scrap?


Cockfosters; couple of 83ts, probably welded themselves to the rails
by now!


Someones back garden (!); I believe there as a 59ts carriage bought by
someone for use in their garden, I presume he still has it?


Acton; a converted 62ts for use on Sandite workings, gone?


Mangapps Farm, Essex: 59ts Heritage train


Ongar, 62ts believed to be burnt by vandals?


Lillie Bridge and London Road Depots; Mk 1 72ts


If anyone can satisfy my curiosity by updating the above I will be
very grateful! If anyone knows where there is preserved vintage tube
stock i would also be interested to know!


I understand that the Uxbridge stock has all gone - some of it to
Shoreditch. My department was involved in trying to get it moved!


Why shorditch? What will they do with it there, is it just going to me
marooned forever once that section of the line is lifted?

Cockfosters has definitely gone as again we were involved in getting
that moved following a load of complaints.


Could they be moved or did they have to be cut up on site?
