Until they place the building on top of the block of flats being built, it is still there as it was, and I think the importance of the image is that it is 7 years ago to the day that Shoreditch closed...

Looks a bit like the one on the abandoned Shoreditch Station, closed 7 years ago today.

I remember being told that there was only minimal mechanical work done on these trains, although there wasn't much call for it as they were the most reliable at the time...

Just out of curiosity, when was 5115 last at the leading end of a train, in the five or so years I had been tracking A Stock movements until their withdrawal, I never once noted 5115 at the front of a train. Was the cab a dud, or equipment robbed or something? Or did I just never notice it?
Thanks,

What's more is that towards they were splitting 4 car units between Rotherham and Eastleigh towards the end of the programme, so that'd be a logistical nightmare (in theory).

I think it would be interesting to know what kind of spares pool there is left for the A60 Stock. I am not counting 5112 as spares just yet...

How was 5110 going, given the past couple years of near inactivity? Also was the interior spick 'n' span?

Sorry to be pedantic over gmnauk's video, but that's 5110/1, not 5111/2...

Just for the sake of saying. A-ha! I was right!
On a serious note; it is lovely to see an A Stock in some form of service again...

So, now we are only one week away from the event, do we know what is going to be running? My bet is still in 5111.

IMHO, I think 5112 has a future for as long as it has to shunt dead C and D Stock to their collection points, so I think that it will still be about at the beginning of 2016.

Sadly, I think that 5112/3 will never carry passengers again, looking at the photos of it shunting 5595 to its collection point, the inside looked like a bit of a mess and the luggage racks were gone... Probably will be 5110 or 5235, my betting is on 5110 as it has been comparatively underworked during the past two years...

Heard Westinghouse used at Paddington (District) on the 21st Feb. As an aside, according to a YouTube comment by someone whose name I cannot remember, 5535 has had it. Is this true or have they just made a mistake?

It must be taking the PIS (Sorry had to get that one in). But on serious note, isn't there little software update that can applied to get Moorgate in and the like?

Is the old weedkiller 38TS still in existance? If so, how long will it be before it gets scrapped?

When can we expect to see 5111 on these runs? Will it be out this year?

What a send-off is right. Looking at a video, the train was doing a fine speed going through Dollis Hill.

5118 and 5089 will do T750 on Saturday. Oh right, I therefore assume a problem occurred with this formation, or it was thought better to use the dolled-up units on this. I imagine this changes the 717 diagram for Monday?

Thanks for the update, as thus we can now presume that 5532 is getting taken away in the next few weeks as 5575 was the other Hammersmith victim, and it would seem that it has been repaired.

I saw the ITV news report, now I'm counting on YouTube to provide me with coverage. It does feel like a part of me has gone, anyway what was it like for people on the ground as the final A Stock went around the bend and into history?
