No. Trains are often cancelled for unavailable stock as it is.
Just because you might see one or two sat in a depot doesn't mean
they are actually available for service. After the 7/7 bombings,
the Circle has had one train regularly cancelled due to the lack of
that one train.


Surely two Circle trains sustained bomb damage on 7/7? How much stock
was written off?


Only two new cars have been provided apparently, built in Hungary and
recently introduced into service. So presumably only two cars were written
off, and one train assembled from the two damaged ones?
