Doesn't this particular train also spend some time at Ruislip--in addition to Hainault?

The CHT train AIUI is in Hainault for some restoration work, but I gather that's the limit of your knowledge as well as mine!

The CHT magazine reported a graffiti "hit' recently which doesn't bode well for its outside storage.

And sadly the pricks that do this sort of thing are revelling reading threads like this.
Well, that's if the brain of a retarded amoeba can actually read....

I hope you're sitting down as you read this 'cos it's not looking good. " Whadya mean "It's not looking good" You mean to say it's all rusty, dented and multi coloured?" I hear you say. Well it could be after *they* have had their wicked way with it........... I've got some bad news and some really bad news. The bad news is that a few days ago the train was there and my camera wasn't. The really bad news is that yesterday my camera was there but the train wasn't. "Scooooooze mate" I enquired of a depot workie was throwing pepples at the fat squirrel on the cable run who was watching us intensely." Rats wiv bushy tails " I heard him mutter. "What's happened to that pile of junk that was parked behind Jedward House? It was here the other day" I asked tentatively. "Gone last night. The army turned up at ffreee a.m. wiv flat loaders n took 'em away. Gawd knows what the residents thought wiv all the f*@#ing din" he belched. "Blimey, someone's gonna be upset" I returned. " Yeah 'alf went to Shoeburyness to be exploded by army ordnance out on the estuary and the uvver 'alf to Salisbury Plain for hand grenade practice" he chortled. " Oh well, at least a use has been found for 'em. Shame really, I bought my camera to take some pics of those rusting hulks. Some soon to have barnacles" I said. "Pics ain't allowed 'round 'ere mate. If the DDM finds out you've taken pix you'll be tooked to the detrainment steps mock-up room, strapped to the steps and deployed" As he said that I contemplated a fate worse than death and sighed a breath of relief that I hadn't been so silly as to unzip my extendable mega pixel from it's pouch.............. But in a parallel dimension the said train was there yesterday so donning my Harry Potter cloak of invisibility and calling myself Hermione all the wicked DDM would of seen would of been a hand and camera floating in mid air. This pic I took from a safe distance with zoom. If I recall the said unit was 1506, but the number has gone. Possibly on account that it's been scrubbed clean with a Brillo pad. The train is surrounded by it's own enclosure. You can pass things through to it by hand. If you ask the DDM nicely he allows you to feed it buns............. tinypic.com/r/2zfo03q/7

I was going to say, whilst conducting depot hiking I always make a point of visiting it.
The other 8 silver ex-pilot units that had been at Ruislip went a couple of weeks ago, much to my upset!
So we are left with the 8car & 5 car 62TS on the Central.

What's with the unrefurb 72MkI behind? As far as I know. They are the last of I think it was four three car ex Northern Line trains that were to be converted/refurbed at Hainalut via Noooobury Parkalot depot ( a soon to be driverless depot as we all know. A bidding war for the new signalling contract has broken out between Greggs And Percy Ingles ) for use on The Drain. The line then being given over to the Bakerloo depot at Elephant as the lines would of then have run similar stock. The ultimate plan was to get the 92s on The Drain back. But as they are not owned by The Central Line so to speak, the owners said "no"............. That train really is a rusting hulk. The floors are moss covered and rotting. The other trains got carted away as the other dimensional 62 did. Possibly now beer furkins or cans for Tenant's Super. Who knows..........If anyone knows any different, please correct. Ceiling Cat has given you full permission. After all I could be *entirely wrong* as I don't write in algorithms or speak in tongues.......... tinypic.com/r/2usvddl/7tinypic.com/r/9zza9/7tinypic.com/r/10xsmlt/7

The 1962 TS 4 car Unit is slowly being restored by members of Cravens Heritage Trains, despite the recent setback of another graffiti attack between Christmas and New Year. The aim is to restore the Unit to running condition, and to this end the seating has been removed, stored and is in the process of being thoroughly cleaning. The graffiti attacks are a setback, as they are for the whole Central Line Fleet, but progress is being made albeit at a slow pace. Spares are being sought to allow for some back up when it does indeed run; the Sandite would of course provide these hopefully when eventually decommissioned one would hope. The Craven Unit at Northfields is still undergoing some maintenance but hopefully will run again in the not too distant future.

Do you know wether, CHT will fit their 62ts with Central line ATP? There is nothing on their website about it. it has recently been treated to another session at the hands of grafitti morons, so once they have overcome that, I think they will want to get it off the Central once and for all!

There are few places in the country that do not suffer from vandalism. The nearest place I know of is Shoeburyness, which has been used for storing rolling stock before, then you have the problem of transferring stock between there and the underground system. (Unless you lay third and fourth rails between Upminster and Shoeburyness, all forty miles! ;D)

I have empathy with the idea of electrifying the Depot boundary fence but doubt LUL will o that.The question of fitting ATP will not only affect the 4 Car 62TS Unit but also the Craven Unit and the LTM 4 car 38TS, but in relation to another thread if there is a will and some money anything is possible. I think the LTM will be the first operator to come up against this scenario. Of course the 62TS 4 Car could always borrow the Sandite's version after it's decommissioning, albeit very bulky, or run like the Centenary Central Line Rail-tour, in 2000, when the Craven Unit ran on the principle of 'one engine in steam'!!!

Running like the Central Centenarian is unlikely to happen again. Engineering hours was specially cancelled to allow that tour to happen, and that's not something that is done except in very special circumstances.

I was talking today to a bloke who knows some interesting factoids about this pile of.............well, someone must love it. He's a 62 stock mega fan puturbationist and I'm sure if the thing had an exhaust pipe he'd....... it and more..........I'm pretty certain it's unit 1506 A end and 1507 D end. That unit had, he told me the highest numbers of one-unders in service. Also it was used to ferry very heavy items when the soon-to-be-driverless-depot at Hainault was remodelled some years ago. Consequently one end of the train has damage and buckling to the floor. The equipment for the new wash was mentioned as being the cause of the bending. He also said that it's most unlikely that it'd ever go on the road again.......... ...........Of course all that could be *entirely wrong* but who knows..........................Some Mississippi mud pie.......... .............?

So, CHT loaned it for LT to use as a works train, and they broke it? That doesn't seem right somehow...
