Took a visit to the park next to Acton Depot and was very surprised to
see the same 72ts and 62ts there that were there in late 2004 when i
went! Are there any plans for them? can anyone i.d. them and give me
any information about them?

I think you mean Acton Works (which is what your captions say), rather
than the Acton Depot of the London Transport Museum.

I noticed a complete train of 1962 stock at West Ruislip which is in
such a state that it is actually green. The one in this photo looks
in a much better condition.

Presumably not painted green then?? There is a pilot train in the
depot there which i think is 1962 stock, there is also a preserved
unit courtesy of the Cravens group. But I am not aware of any other
being in existance unfortunately. There used to be one at Ongar but it
had to be scrapped after the local scrotes got at it!

No, just mouldy, or whatever can possibly happen to aluminium alloy.
It doesn't look as if it's being used, and it's a full train worth (ie
two units).
