An internal (LU) notice has stated that the first passenger service
journey of the new Victoria Line 09 stock took place last night just
before midnight from Seven Sisters down to Brixton. More passenger
service trips will build up over the coming months using trains 01 and
02.

I thought people might be interested to know.

The Victoria Line stock was the first new stock that I remember being
introduced. It seemed incredibly modern at the time compared to the CO and
R stocks which I was used to on the Circle and District when going to the
Science Museum, the first journey up into central London which I made on my
own, and the 38 stock which I occasionally used on the Bakerloo or Northern;
these were the only Underground lines which I'd used at that time. It's odd
to think that it's reached the end of its life, and due to be replaced.
