Are there trailers on the Central Line?


Good point. I'm not familiar enough with 92 stock to remember that

Then there's that "knocking" sound that comes from underneath sometimes
and which is totally unique to the A Stock....

I always imagine the carriage splitting in half with that
knocking/creaking - it sounds like something is going to snap!

There are none. ISTR that the compressors are on the non-driving (cab or
shunting) cars.

I'm on the waiting list for Leytonstone, although it's currently only
surpassed by Upminster in it's length. 3 years against 2 years, so it
won't be any time soon.
