Has any stock been withdrawn in the last 6 months or so?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 I wasn't aware anything had been withdrawn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?

Photos from today....

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??!!

A complete train of Standard Stock was returned from the Isle of Wight
to LUL around 1990 after being replaced on the island by the 'new'
1938-stock trains. It ran from Fratton to London under its own power
- I wish I'd seen that! Some of the cars were in NSE livery and some
had been repainted in UndergrounD colours during their last years in
service. Unfortunately it never ran again. Two IoW trailers are now
in the Acton museum depot together with two DMs which had survived in
LUL engineering use. The idea was to restore a four-car train using
these vehicles but little progress seems to have been made. The
remaining Standard Stock vehicles remained dumped at Acton works for
years but if that NSE liveried vehicle is the only one you saw I
expect the others will have been scrapped by now.
