They're being converted into sidings to stable eight S7 trains, needed
because the number of such sidings was reduced when these trains
replaced
the shorter C stock. They won't be used as running lines.

Where have these eight trains been living for the last six years, then?

IIRC "in the wrong place" in the form of being parked in less
convenient places outwith traffic hours. Siding space has been lost at
Wembley Park because S stock is too long. That accounts for 4 or 5
trains and until recently there was at least one away at any one time
for mods.

I think some were also lost at Triangle sidings and Hammersmith.

I didn't realise trains were lost in the Triangle as well as ships and
planes.

They lost a Circle Line train for a week once.
They found it in Rickmansworth sidings.

I'm told that, when trains full of scrap went into scrapyards, not all
the wagons managed to come back out.

Crewe 1998 - four locomotives, 30 wagons, 9 carriages disposed of to
heritage users ?

ISTR some years ago there was one case in the USA involving railway
vehicles disappearing and then reappearing elsewhere after a respray
and someone being done in the UK after wagons disappeared in a scrap
yard.

Allegedly the La Salle & Bureau County Railroad, I'm not sure if this
case from the early 1970s refers or if it is "previous" -

Perhaps they should have been searching for all those ships and planes in
Rickmansworth.

If it is ships and planes then Ruislip Lido could be a candidate.
