Old Picadilly line train at Harrow May 19, 2010 14:31:36 GMT

Post by den on May 19, 2010 14:31:36 GMT

Hi,

I was waiting for my train to Uxbridge at about 2:30 today, and saw a train I had never seen before. On the side it said Piccadilly Line so I'm guessing it was an old Piccadilly Line train. It was only half the length of the platform. It stopped at Harrow to let someone off and then continued towards Baker Street. Does anyone know where it was going as Harrow is a Metropolitan/Chiltern line station only?

Thanks

EDIT: Added some pictures

I was inspecting a loft conversion in North Harrow at about 2.30 and saw it going North!
	I love my A stock I do!

	Only time will tell if I will ever take a journey on a 72, 73, 92, or D stock.

Don't think it is based there. I'd also like to know its home. Northfields?

Its Home is Northfields Depot Den, was it 13:30 you saw the TRT, Baker St AIT= 16/02/07 springs to mind

Given that it is cleared to run over the majority of the network, sightings of it can vary from any siding / depot to any station / location. It is always more common to see it on the Met / open sections, because by their very nature it's easier to see it.

This week it has been out and about on the Met / H&C.
