I understand the last trains run next week as 4 units go for
scrapping then. Last day looks like Monday 3 June 2014. Running
number 074 is apparently scheduled for C stock until 1339
(lunchtime).

Tuesday 3rd June not the Monday as I said before.

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!

Same here, but it's a shame. But I can claim that I rode on them before

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.

Already? When did I last mention them?

But I guess anyone under the age of 10 or anorexics would be happy in the seats.

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.

....Tour tickets...

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?).

Is that all the stock is cleared for now?

A trip to Olympia and back would have been neat.

And why four passes over the northern Circle, and only one the southern?
To even it up, the first leg should really have gone via Tower Hill
clockwise to Wimbledon, even that was never an official end-to-end route
(but neither is Wimbledon to Barking via Kings Cross).

If you're talking about comfort breaks then you may as well leave off
the 'Street' after Liverpool for the maximum confusion factor, and while
you're at it, write it as Moor Gate as well! (Hmm... there are Moors at
the gate, this here Yurop place is a bit scary...)

I agree about Olympia. I assume that might be possible if there weren't two
trips to West Ham siding.

The multiple passes are a result of running over the different routes which
rather multiple at Edgware Road.

Packed lunch? Yes, I know they said "pack".

and bear in mind the limited comfort breaks so might like to use the
loos at Liverpool St before going to Moorgate.

I'm struggling with the idea that 300 bashers with crossed legs can be
accommodated at Barking in the time available. I wonder if there are any
alternative facilities nearby?

You've lost me there.

Anyone here going on the tour other than Roland and me?
