You think? There will be a lot of spare 'A' end A60 about though. Having said that there are a few pairs of double enders that could be split up. Shame, I like 5147.

As we know, normally the units going on Monday have been withdrawn by Thurs night. Unless there has been another reformation during the day which I've not yet noted, there are no other A62 candidates. However, the Winter is drawing to a close so it may not be long before we start to see one to two deicing units go before they start to depart in droves from mid-April. |

Update: 5016+5109.
This observation makes me think there may be no scrap train on Monday? An 'A' Stock scrap train did immediately follow 21035/036's delivery a few weeks back and I just wonder that given this train is not currently available for Met Line service (its now an S8-1), there is a need to hold an A Stock back for a further week? Just a thought.

12/03/2012 Lots of A stock out in the peaks. I also got to travel on 5056 6057 definately has a different compressor, it sounds different. It may be a later Westinghouse model like a 3HC43, can anyone confirm? 5034+5099 5151+5056* 5149+5070 5022+5153 5082+5231 5097+5040 5103+5232 5199+5120 5104+5189 5014+5183 wps 5101*+5050 5094+5107 5024+5119 5080+5093 5000*+5089 |

This weekend all the 15 Uxbridge line trains should be formed of A stock, as they also work through to Kings Cross at various parts of day, this is to prevent the S stock being graffitied whilst turning round in the old Kings Cross station.

Just saw 5062+5225 near North Harrow. I think 5062 was facing South. Also saw 5151+5056  with 5056 facing North-it must have been turned last night. Happy days. |

A good and a bad thing I guess! What about all the other services? |

Changes: 5161+5232 and 5024+5149. Worth keeping an eye on the latter for possible disposal next week.

16/03/2012 Despite the disruption I had a good run into town in the evening entering and leaving platform 1 at Baker Street!
5052+5195*
5040+5097
5101+5050*
5120+5199
5078+5229
Also saw an S stock halfway out of platform 1 at Wembley with a white light lit on the door fault module. I assume this was a PEA?

Thursday 15/3/12 Another successful day with all routes done in A stock and a ride on 5000 as well. Definitely fewer A stock out and about compared with February so the withdrawels are starting to bite.

403 21017
404 21031 also 5168+5114*

431 21019

* 5168+5114 started out on train 425 but appear to have swapped over at Aldgate onto train 404 so presume 21031 developed a fault.

While out today, nearly all the trains out was s stocks on the kings cross/uxbridge route, so you weren't quite right. |

That was the plan, however after last nights Signal problems all the stock ended up in the wrong places, and as only 5 out of the 15 trains needed for the Uxbridge/Kings Cross service is made up of trains that start from Neasden a lot of overnight shunting around would have had to take place.

Quite dissapointed at that when I turned up at Eastcote for a train to London and what do I see, loads of S stock! Haha I thought there might have been a screw up last night! |

with 5056 facing North-it must have been turned last night. Happy days.
