So what happens to the A Stock that was used on the East London Line
fleet? Can Neasden cope with all of it? Where before a few 4 cars were
maintained or berthed at New Cross Depot which now won't happen, what
happens to the redundant trains? Swallowed up into the rest of the
Metropolitan fleet? Do they have a need for them? Or is some sub
surface scrapping on the cards? Hopefully they can be used to
suppliment the rubbish C Stock on the Circle line!!

There have been times in the past when the A stock was confined to the
Met (eg, when other stock was used on the East London line, or when it
was previously closed for rebuilding), so I assume they have room for
them at Neasden. But they're too long for use on certain Circle line
stations (and maybe too wide as well?), so they won't be used on any
other lines.

In any case, the old A stock is due for replacement soon by the new S
stock.
