An internal (LU) notice has stated that the first passenger service
journey of the new Victoria Line 09 stock took place last night just
before midnight from Seven Sisters down to Brixton. More passenger
service trips will build up over the coming months using trains 01 and
02.

I thought people might be interested to know.

The Victoria Line stock was the first new stock that I remember being
introduced. It seemed incredibly modern at the time compared to the CO and
R stocks which I was used to on the Circle and District when going to the
Science Museum, the first journey up into central London which I made on my
own, and the 38 stock which I occasionally used on the Bakerloo or Northern;
these were the only Underground lines which I'd used at that time. It's odd
to think that it's reached the end of its life, and due to be replaced.

I was wondering if this is the first time that automatic trains have
been replaced by (and will co-exist for a while with) all-new automatic
trains, using a different control system? It's certainly the first time
on LU, but has it happened anywhere else already?

That is my memory of the London Subway also. In the Early 1960s the
tubes were, by and large served by 1938, and earlier stock. The sub-
surface lines were CO and R stock served. The Victoria Line trains
and the A stock on the Met. seemed SO modern.

Original DLR trains replaced by newer DLR trains (someone will be
along in a minute to write the stock types) ... and the original DLR
ATO replaced by a new ATO.

Dint it happen between Hainault and Woodford? Maybe not the
coexistence.

So the 09s entered passenger service before the 378s? Didn't see that
one coming...

Surely there were large numbers of 1959 and 1962 stock trains in service
by then? Admittedly, their design was pretty similar to the 1938s, so
they may not have seen much newer.

Is the new DLR ATO completely different to the original?
