How many units of 1960-stock remain? I already know of the Cravens unit and the TRC.
And im talking about not preserved vehicles. I remember seeing a picture of some units abandoned in a forest somewere.
Anybody know anything more about that?

Ok. But look at wikipedia London Underground 1972-stock page & this picture(http://www.flickr.com/photos/24772733@N05/2848325142/in/set-72157606546720596/) and tell me that is not a... mkI DM... Wait what? The mkII worked the Bakerloo, mkI:s on the Northern... WHAT!? But i quote from Wikipedia: ...Tentative designs for a new Northern Line fleet were abandoned when the go-ahead was given for the Piccadilly Line to be extended to Heathrow Airport. That required a totally new fleet of trains to replace the 1959 Tube Stock then in use. The plan was made to transfer the 1959 trains to the Northern, to allow the worst of the 1938 stock there to be scrapped, but there were only 76 1959 Tube stock trains, and the Northern Line needed more than that to operate. Originally it was planned to refurbish some 30 1938 Tube Stock trains, but this was scrapped in favour of 30 new trains - 1972 Mk1 Tube Stock. Edit: Now i know why i got confused: on all pages i have seen both they allways start the page with a refurbished set. You try to tell these apart without reading the headline: www.squarewheels.org.uk/rly/stock/1972MkItubeStock/www.squarewheels.org.uk/rly/stock/1972MkIItubeStock/Note that both are marked for the Bakerloo.

Wait im confused. I read on Wikipedia that the 1972-stock only worked on the Bakerloo, Northern and Piccadilly Lines. And i know for a fact that the blue-top train of 72-stock rolled on the Bakerloo. I have read that and it was written by a guy hwo used to work for LUL. Again there were no pictures. And you say that there was no trial-refurb on the Bakerloo. Have you worked for/are you working for LUL?
I have seen ONE picture of the blue top on the Bakerloo.
And ok. It may not have been a refurb but atleast it was repainted. I WAS HALF RIGHT ATLEAST!!

Does anybody have any pictures of the 1972-stock blue-top trial-refurb set? I have found one with a problem:
Its only of the DM and on the right hand side and all you see is to the first set of doors.
Thanks in advance to all.
Cheers/TTM
