North past the junction with the M40 this afternoon (sunday) I saw an
entire train of 1983 stock on 6 low loaders heading northbound. I was
under the impression that this stock had all been sold or scrapped about
a decade ago. Did they still have some hanging around Neasden?

FWIW the train was utterly wrecked. Even the graffiti louts had obviously
given up on it since the graffiti itself was covered in a nice layer of
green mould. Most of the windows were smashed and some of the shoebeams
had snapped presumably due to wood rot.
