The Central Line is already 750V - it was converted with the last upgrade.

Does that mean the western central line can't be used for stock moves any
more except for 92 stock?

B2003

Doesn't Bakerloo tube stock run on 750 V beyond Queens Park?

According to :-
http://www.statemaster.com/encyclope...-Great-Britain

the DC line is 650v which ISTR has been stencilled on many trackside
cabinets for years. OTOH the native trains have been able to run on
750v since at least the c.501 if not also the immediately preceding
LMS trains. ATM there doesn't seem to be an "official" confirmation
which leaps to the front of the Google queue.
