LUL Withdrawls....
Has any stock been withdrawn in the last 6 months or so? I ask because
last October I went to the park overlooking Acton Depot and managed these photos:- http://www.tonysrailphotos.fotopic.net/p45622646.html http://www.tonysrailphotos.fotopic.net/p45622636.html When I went today things had moved around a bit. The 62ts (sandite/ measurement train??) was on the siding to the right of where it is now, a carriage in what appers to be Network South East livery can be seen, the train of C Stock was still there but also on a different line, and there was also a train of what appears to be either Bakerloo 72ts or Victoria Line 67ts. I wasn't aware anything had been withdrawn lately but it seems odd to have the C Stock still and this Bakerloo/ Victoria line unit too. I am also amazed the former Northern Line 72ts is there still and has not been scrapped. Can anyone shed any light on these units? Photos from today.... http://tonysrailphotos.fotopic.net/p48622566.html http://tonysrailphotos.fotopic.net/p48622571.html http://tonysrailphotos.fotopic.net/p48622622.html http://tonysrailphotos.fotopic.net/p48622624.html (looks like ancient VECTIS stock, could it be?) I presume the Mark 1 Northern 72ts is going for scrap sometime, but I thought that of the 62ts train, but seeing as that has been moved more recentley, perhaps not! Have LUL moved any of their redundant stock around or is it still at the same places as 2005, when I last when a photo hunt for them??!! |

Judging from the shinyness of the furthest four cars of that C Stock, I think they are the bombed cars back from rebuilding in Hungary. Don't know about the others I'm afraid. |

That's a Standard Stock car returned from the Isle of Wight. Why I don't know. I'd say it was a trailer too though it's hard to tell from the camera angle. I presume the Mark 1 Northern 72ts is going for scrap sometime, but I thought that of the 62ts train, but seeing as that has been moved more recentley, perhaps not! Isn't the 72TS needed with similar stock that's currently on the Victoria Line, needed for strengthening the Bakerloo Line for Watford Junction. The unidentified painted unit could be a collision victim part unit. Have LUL moved any of their redundant stock around or is it still at the same places as 2005, when I last when a photo hunt for them??!! -- Colin Rosenstiel A complete train of Standard Stock was returned from the Isle of Wight to LUL around 1990 after being replaced on the island by the 'new' 1938-stock trains. It ran from Fratton to London under its own power - I wish I'd seen that! Some of the cars were in NSE livery and some had been repainted in UndergrounD colours during their last years in service. Unfortunately it never ran again. Two IoW trailers are now in the Acton museum depot together with two DMs which had survived in LUL engineering use. The idea was to restore a four-car train using these vehicles but little progress seems to have been made. The remaining Standard Stock vehicles remained dumped at Acton works for years but if that NSE liveried vehicle is the only one you saw I expect the others will have been scrapped by now. |

Once repaired were they hauled back across europe via rail through the channel tunnel or did they come on the back of a truck? B2003 |

The silver 72ts did, the Sandite 62ts did, and the mystery train, I am told, is 3523 which was Northern Line Mk 1 stock which was painted in corporate livery |
