Stored Underground Stock
 

Hello all,

The disused tube stock discussion has gone silent so can I check with
those that know, what stock is where? I know there WERE 83ts at
Cockfosters, Sth Harrow and a few others (I see it is still at Neasden
- just about anyway) but what about the mk I 72ts around the place?

Is there anything around, anything that can be photted? I know the TFL
museum have some but have had a bad experience there so more
interested in the stuff thats around in something like its natural
habitat!

Also, I know that Wood Lane station has now been pulled down but are
there any other disused stations in danger of being pulled down?

Thanks in advance!

'72 stock units are at Hainault depot and Shoeburyness. They'll be difficult
to photograph, unless you manage to speak to the depot manager at Hainault
quickly as they are to be removed for scapping soon!

You mean a decision has finally been made to scrap them? Who is the
depot manager at Hainualt and is he likely to be amenable? Have
previously got some photos off the platforms of them at Hainualt.
Also, how will they be removed from Hainault, by rail or by road?

Thanks again!

Not now possible, as they have now been moved to sidings at the Grange Hill
end of the depot, near the depot roadway.

Almost certainly by road. (cf above!)

Yes, the missus had the bad luck in having to get agree from everyone to
agree to it.

Not a clue! If you're local perhaps the local station staff could give you
some details. Otherwise Metronet are the infraco who 'own' Hainault depot,
perhaps they might be able to help.

Apparently there are 2, 7 car trains of '72 stock at Acton that won't be
scrapped. Perhaps the engineering arpentices will be allowed to do a
scrapheap challenge on them!

Perhaps you are not aware that the facade has been preserved for
restoration and display at the Acton Depot of London's Transport Museum.

Don't suppose you know when any of the remainder will depart? I wouldn't
mind photographing some of these trains on their final journey, especially
as the ones at Hainault are in reasonably good condition.

Anyone know about the 83ts at South Harrow, Neasden and Uxbridge? I
gather the Cockfosters units have gone.

Also there was some 1972ts at the Bakerloo Depot near Lambeth (name
escapes me) and also near Kensington (again depot name escapes me)
anyone know more?

As far as I know, there are still one or two trains at South Harrow and
Uxbridge sidings, and two trains stored in 32 and 33 sidings near
Cockfosters station. In addition to this, there are various cars stored in
the p-way sidings at Neasden depot (those already moved from Uxbridge and
South Harrow), which are in the (not particularly hurried) process of being
prepared for scrapping.

Also there was some 1972ts at the Bakerloo Depot near Lambeth (name

I believe that one unit remains stored at London Road depot; the one at
Lillie Bridge was there as of two Wednesdays ago. Apart from one or two
units stored at Acton Works, all the remaining stored 1972 stock is at
Shoeburyness AFAIK.

What happened to the one at Aldwych - it was removed from there lasy
year whilst filming took place using the preerved 1960ts unit, did it
not return?

There is still a four car unit at London Road (nicknamed the Gary Day
train by the infrastructure staff) but I think gets robbed for spares.

72 TS returned to Aldwych after the filming with the Cravens unit

I read somewhere that they have to run it up and down the branch to keep the
batteries charged. Anyone know when, how often, and which drivers get that
job?

Oops, forgot that one! Yes, AFAIK, the 72ts did return to the Aldwych branch
after the 60ts left.

Are any of these trains photographable from public places? I know the
83ts at Cockfosters can be done off the train (any nearby footpaths?),
South Harrow has a bridge right by as well but the others I am not so
sure on, can anyone help? All photos will be for website purposes!!

There is still an 83 train in Uxbridge sidings, next to Sainsburys so quite
readily photographable. But it is covered in graffiti of course.

Just out of curoisity , why do they keep a 72ts down there? Are there no
3 car 73ts from the piccadilly itself or even newer 83ts that might last
longer that they could use for filming? What happens when that 72ts finally
packs up?

Use ex IOW 38-stock? Those tube trains are built to last :-).

Some of them (CFS units) did, there are still two full trains in the
east end sidings, can be seen off the end of the platforms - bit of a
mess now though.

I suspect it will be test train crews. We (Picc. drivers) don't 'know'
the Aldwych branch any more.

- The unit at London Road depot can clearly be seen from the perimeter wall;
either from Lambeth Road or St. George's Road. There's a "famous"
traffic-light equipment cabinet on St. George's Road from where many depot
photos have been taken, though you would need a decent zoom to get a good
pic of the 72ts from that particular place.

- The 83ts stored at Neasden Depot are all stored in the p-way sidings,
right next to the Quainton Street road-entrance to the depot. That/those
stored at Uxbridge can similarly be seen from York Road, or from the
deliveries road leading to Sainsbury's.

- The only public place to see the two trains stored in Cockfosters sidings
is from the station platforms, from where they are *very* distant.

- Some of the 72ts stored in Acton Works could also be easily photographed.
If you go into a small residential street called Park Place (off Gunnersbury
Avenue), at the far end of that is a sports ground, from where the stub of a
disused footpath runs leftwards. If you walk along this for a few hundred
metres, the 72ts (and some 62ts cars) are stored in the sidings to your
right.

- The unit at Lillie Bridge can be easily photographed from the West
Cromwell Road floyover; it's stored in a siding almost underneath the
flyover IIRC. It's also visible from trains passing on the West London Line.
