LUL Withdrawls....

Has any stock been withdrawn in the last 6 months or so? I ask because
last October I went to the park overlooking Acton Depot and managed
these photos:-

When I went today things had moved around a bit. The 62ts (sandite/
measurement train??) was on the siding to the right of where it is
now, a carriage in what appers to be Network South East livery can be
seen, the train of C Stock was still there but also on a different
line, and there was also a train of what appears to be either Bakerloo
72ts or Victoria Line 67ts. I wasn't aware anything had been withdrawn
lately but it seems odd to have the C Stock still and this Bakerloo/
Victoria line unit too. I am also amazed the former Northern Line 72ts
is there still and has not been scrapped. Can anyone shed any light on
these units?

(looks like
ancient VECTIS stock, could it be?)
That's a Standard Stock car returned from the Isle of Wight. Why I don't
know. I'd say it was a trailer too though it's hard to tell from the
camera angle.
I presume the Mark 1 Northern 72ts is going for scrap sometime, but I
thought that of the 62ts train, but seeing as that has been moved
more recentley, perhaps not!
Isn't the 72TS needed with similar stock that's currently on the Victoria
Line, needed for strengthening the Bakerloo Line for Watford Junction.
The unidentified painted unit could be a collision victim part unit.
Have LUL moved any of their redundant stock around or is it still at
the same places as 2005, when I last when a photo hunt for them??!!
