LU A stock over NR routes

The A stock was certainly moved by rail when it was refurbished so there must be some routes cleared for it. IIRC it got as far as Rosyth. The A stock was refurbished at Derby in the early 1990s. Eight-car sets were moved (generally Class 37 hauled) from Neasden to Aylesbury, run round, then via Wycombe and the Greenford loop to Didcot and forward via Oxford, refurbished sets returning via the same route. I don't think that any trains went via Bicester due to capacity issues on the (then) single line and crewing issues. The move from Neasden usually started on Saturdays, mid-morning. Somewhere I've got some pictures of unrefurbished A stock sitting in platform 2 at Aylesbury. Unfortunately the S stock deliveries are not so easily photographable, occurring late at night, arriving at Neasden at around 01:00 on Friday mornings (so far - assuming that the diagram doesn't change when deliveries pick up). |
