Shame 3186 wasn't preserved as it had the unique refurb layout.

Will the last ever 1967 stock on 1st July be in passanger service or is it a special tour? Based on recent events, e.g. the East London Line, and based on the *rumours* I've heard, we might be looking at a timetabled last train, perhaps followed by a special "last" trip for LUL staff only. Time will tell ... Whatever, I hope the 67 stock gets a decent send off. As the first production automatic trains, they have earned themselves a well deserved place in history, and over their 40+ years have transported a lot of people.

According to the LU Staff magazine, there will be a staff special on the 27th May to mark the last 67ts run from Walthamstow. On 1st July there will be "A sixties themed trip for current staff, family and friends and will mark the last 67 stock running from Seven Sisters".

I really hope a full unit can be preserved in working order, even if only a four-car double ender.

Yes, but those were the only ones I managed to see. Perhaps there were less than 38 trains during the peak because of the huge disruption this afternoon...?

Also yesterday was the comparitively rare occurence of a train reversing south to north at Victoria via the crossover - and it was a 1967 stock (units 59 + 79 on T223). T223 earlier had 58+76 on it, but it came out of Northumberland Park pretty late with 59+79. Did 58+76 fail?

Will there be any 67s about later today? (Monday 9th May). I am off work today and have just bought a new digital camera and want to get some photos.

Yes - there should still be a few, particularly during the peaks. We haven't quite reached the point where the normal weekday timetable can be run solely using 09s yet...!

Wow, that does seem like a lot, especially at this stage... What was 40 doing on the lifting road?

What was 40 doing on the lifting road? I don't know, I only saw it from a distance, I was going into the staff platform, (60 road).

I was lucky enough to get 3133 and 3071 straight away at Highbury this afternoon on train 273, departed about 13:45. When I got off at Kings Cross to change to the Circle, 11067 pulled in right behind it as it was departing, not sure of the 09's running number though, may have been 250.
Video below:
I did notice that inside the train, 3133 was missing its numberplate at the driver's end.

After going on them in any spare time I have, I think all units left on the line have had their number plates missing!

Wouldn't have been train 250 through - that is an inter peak stabler.

Out yesterday were 59+79, 84+11, 60+61, 34+85, 03+62, 75+78 and 05+49 which I haven't seen for around a month
I thought I wouldn't see 11+84 and 05+49 in service again as until yesterday I hadn't seen them for a long time

i've been out on the line for four hours yesterday (Friday 13th) between 6.15pm and 10.15pm. photod/filmed at least 4 sets.
which stock was defective that caused all the delays and caused 3 67s to be withdrawn from service at severn sisters at around 9pm. Traveled back to kings cross and was about to go home when another 67 bound for Walthamstow pulled in. dispite getting held up in the severn sisters area, it did make it to walthamstow.
will try and upload some video/photos later today.
