Can I just point out that whilst paths will now be available for both Mondays and Wednesdays, it won't always be the case that a train leaves us on both days. Apart from a couple of exception weeks, the trains will run on either Monday or Wednesday  |

I believe that those of you who like me are closely following 'A' Stock disposals will be able to quickly work out from my formation updates today which is the 8-car set that 'underground driver' is probably referring to. Why I believe there may be a query over one of the units was that it was cleaned only two weeks ago. However, just in case I am barking completely up the wrong tree, I'll leave it to 'undergrounddriver' to confirm tomorrow! |

5128 and 5165 are being made ready. Thanks for the advice and yes I would have been wrong. Was convinced 5072+5191 were off having been formed up yesterday. |

Are there any specific problems with 5128 and 5165 or is it just their time? Another A62 combo goes. It won't be long until the last all A62 train operates.  |

That formation had failed in December, with gapping issues in and around Harrow. So, I can only imagine the same problems are presenting themselves again.

Does the white spray on the buffer pads indicate a weakness here too? Well, they are spending their last night at Neasden before making their final journey under LT114 power tomorrow. |

Who uncouples the cars at Northwood?
Or is it a gas axe job?

Graffiti artists got onto the Northwood site last night not for the first time. Rather a sad sight all in all.

Will there be any A left stock still running in March or will the S stock have been completely phased in by then?

Any ideas which unit was withdrawn presumably last night for monday? Looking at Bentley's run down for this evening's peak, it looks like time's up for 5191. It has been living on borrowed time for several weeks now. 5070 is another possibility. There were 5 8-car formations not in service this evening so there is of course the possibility that one of these has instead been pulled. |

Hardly any A Stocks out at all last night on my journey from Baker Street to Chorleywood. Mainly S Stocks including the train I was on.

Yet when I was photographing trains at Northwood in the afternoon it was the otherway round. Strange?
