Initially, TfL may substitute the current trains running the
Euston - Watford service (aged Class 313 and Class 508 trains) with
some (modified) stock cascaded from the Victoria line after that line
receives its new trains.

i.e. substituting aged (30-year-old) Class 313 and 508 trains with
modern (40-year old) Victoria line stock.

Not entirely. More like 35 years old. The Victoria Line stock includes
some (3 1/2 trains IIRC) of 1972 stock, but of the first batch while the
main Bakerloo stock is from the second 1972 stock batch.
