The tube - as we used to know it!!!!!!
Hello peeps,
As you probably know I like to keep up to date with yesterday's Underground - if that makes sense! Anyway, I noticed when passing Uxbridge Sainsbury's yesterday that only about 1 train of 83ts remains and it made me think, what is left around the place? Not just on LU land but preserved etc... I remember at one point the state of play was roughly as follows:- Ongar - 62ts believed scrapped Mangapps Farm (Essex) - 59ts and R Stock preserved Someones back yard - 59ts NRM - old Waterloo & City stock - preserved Ealing Depot - 62ts (Sandite train) and Mk1 72ts - for scrap? South Harrow Sidings - 2 trains of 83ts - for scrap? Uxbridge sidings - 1 maybe 2 trains of 83ts - for scrap? Cockfosters - 2 trains of 83ts - for scrap? LU Acton Works - 38ts, 83ts, Mk1 72ts, R or Q stock - preserved! Booths of Rotherham - 83ts - in process of being scrapped! And I think that is that, can anyone give more detail about any of this? Also the one which really intrgues me is the 59ts which i think was a driving car in a back garden! Thanks all! |

There is the obvious one... the Isle of Wight railway, which I believe is using "38" stock (?). |

Well yeah, I count that as still operational stock though!!!
One other that has come to light is a message from 2001 on here which said there was 83ts at Upminster, I presume this has long gone? MOD Shoebury did at one time at lease have a load of old tube stock, is there anything left in there now? |

IIRC there was a news item on TfL earlier this year about a redundant tube car being installed in the grounds of Gt. Ormond St childrens' hospital, London. regards, - Alan (in Brussels) |

It's not a carriage so was it some sort of emergency-only battery powered loco? Nick |
