Their days are now running short, the last one will be witdrawn in 2013. London Underground have already made a desicion on which train will run the last service. 5000-5001 Built 1960 and, 5234-5235 built in 1963. They were good trains, however they are now very tatty and would need "make do and mend" done on them.

The C-Stock should go first. A-Stock are solid, very reliable, considering their age.
W&C trains are alright. Central Line trains are very tatty though.

Wouldn't have the character, but anything to keep them in service.
Saw 1992-Stock, awful, refurbish them before it's too late.
Say no to S-Stock

S Stock are supposed to be really cheap as trains go, so that seems like a euphamism for something terrible. A60

I havent heard of an A Stock train breaking down for the last 7 or so months.
Not as frequently either. Considering their age.

Anyways, The other stocks are reliable with brushes, take A Stock for example.

That report is wrong in one aspect.
92,95&,96's don't have brush motors.

1992 stock used to be reliable. Gone slightly downhill in recent months. Too much tape. A60

C Stock is more knackered than A Stock I'm surprised by the figures. C-Stock are OK for the job they do. Even I defend the C-Stock when it comes to S-Stock. It's right what they say about new technology, it never works. I don't want A60/62 Stock to go.

Quite a few, I suspect C-Stock is the culpret.
