No they were definitely running in 1993 and 1994, before Ongar closed.


You sure? Perhaps 1995 was the year they were all finally running in
service and the last 62 stock ran then.




92 Stock introduced dual running April'93 with 62 stock gradually
until taking over completely
on 17 February 95.
Further information,including a pic of one

Further to my earlier remarks,I do recall from my days on the Central
Line,that units were often canibalised & raided for spare parts
and in consequence could in effect dissappear from public view for
many months.....not sure if this is the case today though
