On the central line this morning I saw a 6 car 92 stock train with 2
cars glued on the end to make up the 8. Why the unusual configuration -
an amalgamation of spare cars perhaps?


Sounds normal to me.

The 92TS comes in two car units, with a cab at one end or no cab, just a
shunting control cabinet. Are you saying you saw a cab in the middle of
the train? That would be quite within the standard permutations.


Yes, four two-car units in every train, all fully reversible and able
to fit anywhere in the train.

A rough count suggests that there are 175 units with a cab and 165
without a cab, so there are bound to be some with cabs in middle
positions.
