So the last C stock ran in normal service earlier today then?

In which case I missed giving them a final ride, but I expect I'll live!

What I did miss out on is not going for a final ride on the A stock on
the Chesham branch.

There are still tickets available for the farewell tour as I write. Roland
and I have ours.

The bits of dead tree arrived this morning. Need to be at Moorgate
twenty minutes before the train departs, they say. The ticket has a
carriage number (I'm in B), but not a seat number [the original booking
did].

Summarised schedule is:

0932-0955 Board train at Moorgate
1042 Arr Wimbledon via High St Ken and Earls Court
1055 Depart Wimbledon
1203 Arr West Ham Siding via Earls Court and Moorgate
1206 Dep West Ham Siding
1216 Arr Barking

1322 Dep Barking
1354 pass Moorgate again
1420 pass High St Ken
1424 pass Gloucester Road
1455 pass Moorgate again!
1527 Arr Hammersmith.

I had the same mailing this morning. I'm in coach C. Roland could also have
mentioned the need to "bring a pack lunch and drinks" and bear in mind the
limited comfort breaks so might like to use the loos at Liverpool St before
going to Moorgate.

Slightly to my surprise the schedule appears to be entirely confined to the
routes the C Stock ran on, H&C, Wimbledon-Edgware Road and Circle. It looks
as if all those routes will be covered plus West Ham siding (why twice?).

Same here, but it's a shame. But I can claim that I rode on them before
they entered service as C69s provided a shuttle service from a very
puddly Moorgate to a Neasden open day in - when?

Good riddence to them. Horrible trains made even worse by the idiots who
converted them to longitudinal seating with some seats that were too small
for anyone of normal size.

I think you already made your position clear. Not everyone agrees with you.

But with the great advantage that without side doors at the
carriage ends, each carriage provided four seats, two facing
at each end, where it was possible to drop off without fellow
passengers needing to step over your feet, or generally
"brush past". Or when wide awake the opportunity to gawp at
the passengers in the adjoining carriage before they
eventually copped on.

Earlier than planned, I gather, going out of service at 0930. Anyone here
know more about that?
