Yes, I recall the short trains. *The four car units had cabs at both
ends. *The three car units had a cab at one end. *Daytime services
were four car only.


AIUI the A stock were always in 4-car sets and originally had operative cabs
at both ends. Until quite recently a few units were kept with operative cabs
at both ends, to work the Chesham branch diagram, and they were also used in
4-car formation when they worked the East London Line. But for many years
most units have had an operative cab at one end only, so have been used
exclusively in 8-car formation.


Thank you for the correction Peter.

In the late seventys I was privalidged to have an extended visit to
Neasden Depot. I remember some discussion about 3 car and four car
sets. I wonder if this may have related to Bakerloo Line stock.
