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!!

Don't forget that there is more space now at Neasden than before the
Jubilee line extension opened. Stratford has taken over stabling and
maintenance of much of the 1996 stock for the Jubilee, which used to
be based at Neasden. According to the London Underground Rolling Stock
Book by Brian Hardy, New Cross Depot only needed to provide 4 units
for the East London Line and Neasden is used for the other two units
undergoing maintenance. Neasden always did the heavy work anyway, so
the only real addition is the stabling space for two extra, 8 coach
trains.
