Just wondered if anyone knows of any movies that contain some of the vintage LU stocks. I found this from the film Breaking Glass but have never seen the movie all the way through. What is the stock used in this. It looks like CO/CP or R Stock.

It appears to be on the Northern Line, I would say an old unit of 1938 stock or 59ts.

It's not northern line - tube map sort of visible at 1:26 shows two branches at one end to a single line through. Piccadilly?

Yeah you're right, it is the picc! Looks like the R doors are red so it must be 38ts! When was the film made?

On second thoughts, it must be tube stock. I didn't think the 38ts had long fluoruescent fittings down the middle of the car

You are correct-but the lights didn't look like that on the 59/62 stock! It could be DM 11294?
The end of the video appears to show 'Cockfosters' on the blind and the three light flat headcode! It must therefore be a 1959 stock train!

I think its a mock up! A red underground tube train with flurescent lights. Cant be 59 stock; that only had two marker lights and wasnt red. Can't be 38 stock; didn't have flurescent in every carraige and didnt have straight headcodes. And surely LT wouldnt allow filming of vandalism in its carraiges? Must therefore be a mockup.

CO/CP stock is in 'Passport to Pimlico'; some other mockup similar to standard stock is in 'Bulldog Jack'

CO/CP stock is in 'Passport to Pimlico'; There is a great shot of a Q Stock leaving platform3 at Earl's Court in "Passport To Pimlico", taken from the long walkway to Warwick Road. Has a great sound as the motor cars pass by! |

The Ealing film "A Run for your Money" has an excellent sequence with standard car 7123 at Holborn (plus shots of an RT )
And evocative steam shots of the newly formed BR at Paddington and at Blangwynfi (masquerading as Haforpenuwchymarchog)

The only thought I had was the 1960 tube stock which was red - but the interiors were totally different! |

A couple I can think of off the top of my head:
In the Ealing film, 'The Blue Lamp' (1950 black and white), some standard stock nearly mows down PC Andy Mitchell as he gives chase to Tom Riley (played by a young Dirk Bogarde). The train is running wrong line near White City.
The colombia film 'Gideon's Day' (1958, technicolor) has a wonderful, but short sequence at Aldwych. Standard stock is seen in the platform, compressors running. It then departs with a good load.

'On The Beat' with Norman has splendid shots, which must have taken several goes, on the Drain using the 1940 Stock. I assume that they used Bank as the station that everyone gets off at? I used to think that the viaduct where the boys played football was near Turnham Green and Hammersmith & Chiswick SR station but the sempahores are actually for Windsor & Eton station on the line from Sluff. The very beginning with the dream sequence was shot at Sluff Trading Estate, and the tracks were for the Estates' steam locos.

Wasn't there a film in the '60s that showed an unnamed deep-level station, apparently on the Central Line, where both eastbound and westbound trains using the same platform?  |

See the credits near the end. Executive producer Dodi Fayed! I didn't know he was a film producer? |

Although not really 'vintage' stock, 'Death Line' (1972) has some good views of 1959 stock at Russell Square. It's also a good cheesy 1970s horror flick. Look out for Christopher Lee as the MI5 man Villiers-Stratten.

Underground Terror - gangsters hide out in an abandoned subway station. It is set in the US, but the paper cover of the video features a class 313! Rather well illustrated too! I wouldn't say it was vintage, early 80's I'd say, not seen it for a long time... it was one I borrowed from a friend.
