A Stock withdrawals - Discussion

Thank you very much for the advice undergrounddriver. 5124+5201 it is then on Monday. 5201 can only have been withdrawn in the last 24 hours as it was involved in a formation change midweek.

What happens to them from November?

....and 6125 right behind it........ ((

Yes, it was at the north end and will last a day longer or so.

Will rail moves start in Novemeber?

I'm currently tasked with looking at all things local-line related in terms of running additional trains from the December timetable. It's more from the "What do we do with the Uxbridge service if it cannot go to Uxbridge during disruption" angle. There is "room" but not much, and given the scrap trains can run with drivers at each end, and are empty stock, it's not so difficult to fit them in.

Would be nice to keep the moves in a way, then at least everyone can keep check on what is being taken away. If the moves become fully rail, then no doubt each train will slip away in the dead of night.

the road conditions in the winter will no doubt disrupt any movements by road also,if one of those lorries ran into difficulties the disruption would be immense.

On the sheet today is 5187 to be returned to be stripped and scrapped. It's currently spending its last hours running as 411.

(If sufficient donations are made to my account, I may be able to arrange a reprieve by changing it onto an Uxbridge stabler ;D ;D )

.....if diverted to Uxbridge for a reprieve could an S stock 'accidentally' take its place...............? ;D

;D I managed (actually more by chance I will be honest**) to get the unit on to a Rickmansworth stabler. However, the keen depot staff noticed, and talked us into arranging a further changeover. Alas, unless the colleague who relieved me suddenly develops feelings for the A-stock (unlikely - and he's not a visitor here) the unit will end up back at Neasden this evening. I am now away from the railway, so I'm afraid I can do no more.

**The unit was swapped with, of all things, an S-stock which was required back in depot earlier this evening. So just for a while there, an S-stock was almost responsible for reprieving its predecessor ;D

;D ;D Given that insufficient money was donated, I guess you'll never know

5032 is set to go. It has the bad trucks taken from from the RAT earlier this week.

187 is in service 32 is being stripped.

If 5187 is in service today, then maybe it has had a reprieve. As I said yesterday it was down to be "stopped" in the depot from yesterday evening. Clearly if it is out and about then this has not happened, so maybe another unit has taken its place.

Whats on the other end?
