I am too young to have travelled on this stock.
Did you like this stock? Which type of this stock did you like best?
I like the red 1986's stock interior and the green 1986's stock exterior.
I think the red 1986 stock has a better interior than the 92 stock but i don't like where the map is placed.
Did these stock have doors like the new tube stocks or like the old tube stocks from the 60's and 70's?
Did they sound like the 92 stock?
I'm thankful the exterior of 92 stock wasn't from the blue or red 86 stock as they look dated.

I know the Green Train had these; there's a car preserved at Acton Museum Depot. The green one was also the one that sounded like 92ts. |

Although you're right in saying the green one sounded more like the 92 stock, none of them did. Here's a link to a video of the prototype trains in action on the Aldwych branch. |

I wonder what unit would have been picked to run on the Central had their not been a derailment which resulted in all of them being axed. |

A very interesting video, I wasn't aware that the 1986 stock had a DVA system - was this able to announce the whole Jubilee line when the stock was working there?

underground2010, thank you so much for posting that youtube video! I've had the DVA sound file for "The next station is West Hampstead, where this train terminates, change for British Rail, North London and Midland lines" for a long time now, but it is great to see it playing with the video footage. I've asked this question in this thread ( districtdave.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=Trains&action=display&thread=16135 ) but few seem to know if it is possible to run the green car by itself or not! |

You're more than welcome my friend  I doubt running the green unit by itself would be all that good, especially if there are loads of people wishing to ride the train. |

Couple it to the 83ts DM? Highly doubt it would work!

I'd say the only similarities are the cab design between the green'un and the 83ts.. and that's about it.
You're telling me the motors sound nothing like a 92ts? They really do sound like it, if not a little higher pitched..

I do agree, they sound similar, with a higher pitch, but the only time I hear the simularity in the motors is when the train is either departing or stopping at a station. The green unit is the unit that helped with the design of the 92 stock, so there is a bit of resemblence there. |

i travelled on these a few times when they ran the jubilee line. very colourful but struck me as bone shakers. i can't remember the audio announcements on the jubilee line, either they were not working or its been so lond ago i have forgotten. i remember one of the sets not having many seats.
RAILTOURS - i can't imagine the met or jubilee line controllers being keen on seeing one travelling towards neasden!!
i was working in central london at that time and on that evening chose to go to ickenham via baker street. initially not knowing the full extent of the problem, took a watofrd to finchley road, after about 10-15 minutes, were told that there were no more met trains and to get a jubilee to wilsden green where they ran a shuttle between wilsden green and wembley park stopping at neasden. saw the queue of trains stuck between wilsden green and neasen and passed the offending 1986 stock which had managed to fold itself up all over the points. next morning, service suspended beyond harrow-on-the-hill and all crowded onto the marylebone bound platform. i remember the stock at the time was slam door stock and after about the third train, me and a load o other passengers were let into a guards van compartment. the trains had been moved but at the neasden points thee lots of workmen in orange jackets fixing the points i presume.
i guess that accident could have been a whole lot worse if there had been other trains in the immediate area at the time it derailed.
