It doesnt make sense running a 38 stock to Uxbridge!!
Celebrating 100 years of the Met with a tube stock that never operated on
that line.
Apart from the Piccadilly Line which used to run 38 stocks to Uxbridge
amongst other places.


Looks as thought it was planned for Sarah Siddons plus TC set. Is she
indisposed?

I am surprised tube stock is allowed to pick up/set down passengers at
Amersham. Surely the platforms are full height.

They are.

And Sarah is gone from the Met - I think she was transferred to Quainton
Road via roadway. Besides, the Met earthworks are too weak for a loco
capable of dragging a rake of compartment stock, and not only are there
no runaround loops to put the loco the right-way around on the end of
the train at Amersham, but the HSE would probably have a ragbaby.

When did it move to Quainton Road? I thought it was still on the Met
somewhere.

They managed run-rounds easily enough at Amersham in 1982 when Sarah
Siddons did a few tours. Uxbridge station was the problem - it ran to
Uxbridge sidings instead, with passengers, to perform the runround
instead.

Not even necessary now. With the 4-TC/3-TC units it can work in push/pull
mode, as it did a few years ago when it worked Baker Street to Uxbridge
services (off peak) vice an A60/62.

the photos !!

She was in Ruislip Depot in April. I don't know what (if anything) she's
being used for at present.
