I'm sure that 1967 stock was stripped of parts before scrap. But how much do you keep? Very true, London Underground do not have infinite space to store things indefinitely

I hope that when the 1967 stock were withdrawn, they were stripped for spare parts, as my understanding is that the 1972 stock is a continuation of the 1967 design. That aside, spare parts must be near impossible to obtain owing to the fleet being over 50 years old but based on a design nearer to 60 years old.

Please excuse me for asking but how would trains from Wimbledon be reversed at Earl's Court, while not obstructing other District Line trains

Apologies if I have opened this in the wrong section of the forum
If/when Piccadilly line trains start serving all stations (including Chiswick Park) on the Ealing Broadway branch (currently part of the District line), would these trains be able to serve these two stations all day without mucking up the Heathrow branch?
Or would an increased District line service to/from Richmond be able to cope with the passenger numbers using these stations.
I have not included Stamford Brook as I am aware Piccadilly line trains would only be able to call westbound only (i.e. not towards central London)
To stop this going into RIPAS territory, would there be any gains in doing this or would it cause more problems on a busy section of the Underground in West London.

Just a quick question, if anyone can offer a view.
When the new trains are in service on the Piccadilly Line and the 1973ts is withdrawn, would the Alderney Railway want any of the 73ts to run alongside their 1959 cars? I am thinking either three car sets with Driving Motor cars at either end or enough DMs to form two car sets, depending, of course, on how much storage space the railway has.
I thought of this given that the IoW will now have the refurbished and converted ex-District Line D78 stock (class 484) and the only other option will be an appointment with the scrapyard.
To avoid this going into RIPAS territory, is there anything to be gained from this even if (major assumption) the Alderney Railway expressed any interest in taking on any of the eventually redundant 73ts

I seem to recall that trains can reverse at Liverpool Street via the sidings, but how would eastbound trains be reversed and sent westwards from Bethnal Green? Apologies if this question has been asked previously
Via the crossover at Bethnal Green. Thank you for for answering my question DWS. I appreciate it.

Apparently there will be nothing east of Bethnal Grn that weekend. There will be a W Ruislip - Bethnal and Ealing - Liv St service. West Ruislip-Bethnal Green every 10min Ealing Broadway-Liverpool St every 10min White City-Liverpool St every 10min I seem to recall that trains can reverse at Liverpool Street via the sidings, but how would eastbound trains be reversed and sent westwards from Bethnal Green? Apologies if this question has been asked previously

Could the 315's work in multiple with the 313's working the lines on the South Coast once they are withdrawn from TfL Rail, but to stop this going into RIPAS territory, is there anything to be gained from this, even if it was theoretically possible. Class 315 are 25kv AC overhead only so would not be able to traverse the 3rd rail network powered as they are. Aside from common component salvaging, there is little to be gained from the 315's post-TFL Rail bearing in mind age, cost of modifications and the relative cheapness in procuring new Electric Multiple Units at present.. Thank you for answering my question goldenarrow. I appreciate it.

As a brief aside, are there any alternative rail services that aren't already overcrowded that could relieve the pressure on what would be a reduced service on the Epping branch of the Central line?
Apologies if this is off topic.

Would the situation improve if South Western Railway handed over the management of Richmond and Wimbledon stations to London Underground but retained a presence at these stations to offer information on SWR services
