A man's vehicle is a symbol of his manhood.
That's why my vehicle's the Piccadilly Line -
It's the size of a county and it comes every two and a half minutes

It doesnt make sense running a 38 stock to Uxbridge!!
Celebrating 100 years of the Met with a tube stock that never operated on
that line.
Apart from the Piccadilly Line which used to run 38 stocks to Uxbridge
amongst other places.

Looks as thought it was planned for Sarah Siddons plus TC set. Is she
indisposed?

I am surprised tube stock is allowed to pick up/set down passengers at
Amersham. Surely the platforms are full height.

On Steam On The Met day a few years back, a tube gauge train operated the
Chesham Shuttle for much of the day. Staff were on hand to warn passengers
about the gap and assist them if necessary.

They are.

And Sarah is gone from the Met - I think she was transferred to Quainton
Road via roadway. Besides, the Met earthworks are too weak for a loco
capable of dragging a rake of compartment stock, and not only are there
no runaround loops to put the loco the right-way around on the end of
the train at Amersham, but the HSE would probably have a ragbaby.

When did it move to Quainton Road? I thought it was still on the Met
somewhere.

They managed run-rounds easily enough at Amersham in 1982 when Sarah
Siddons did a few tours. Uxbridge station was the problem - it ran to
Uxbridge sidings instead, with passengers, to perform the runround
instead.

Not even necessary now. With the 4-TC/3-TC units it can work in push/pull
mode, as it did a few years ago when it worked Baker Street to Uxbridge
services (off peak) vice an A60/62.

Sarah Siddons was certainly used during Steam on the Met in 1999 - I have
the photos !!

She was in Ruislip Depot in April. I don't know what (if anything) she's
being used for at present.
