A Stock formation reports

It's the latter of the two.

What we thought was likely, 5016 is formed up with 5169.

Just didn't occur to me this morning when I passed 5169+5016 going in the other direction that it was actually the AVI fitted train.

Hello to readers of this thread. This is my first post.

Having been born and raised in Metroland and with railways in the blood on both sides of my family, the 'A' stock has always been a personal favourite. So today I thought I would pop down memory lane before the 'As' become even more 'sparse'.

Aldagte, Uxbridge and Watford visited today. NB local between Wembley Park and Harrow on the Hill not accessible from at least midday so everything NB was semi fast to Harrow. It appeared that SB Baker St off peak service from UXB was terminating at Harrow and the NB Baker St off peak service to Watford was starting at Harrow re the siganlling problems at Wembley Park. The following sets were noted.

403 5090N 5061S
412 5161N 5134S
416 5118N 5024S
421 5231N 5034S
422 5122N 5219S
430 5099N 5106S
446 5169N 5016S (FLATS ON 5016 AND 5168)
453 5109N 5096S
454 5105N 5062S
456 5203N 5114S

& 8 car SET 5113N 5022S was seen shunting at the north end of Neasden Depot early pm.

A good day. Regards nv

96 is out with 109. One of two double end formations on watford runs.

saw two this morning (1 at Barbican at 07.02 and one at Kilburn at 07.38)
coming back this afternoon saw three sets in Baker Street at 14.18 - one in each terminating road and one heading south into the city - which I caught

Don't have the set numbers, but have a car number from each if anyone can map that to set numbers

Just two seen today: 5090+5060, and 5181+5013

Change made during today's midday off-peak period: 5062+5161

If there turns out to be no more all A62 stock formations, 5134+5161 formed T470 this morning.

Further to the last post by NV147, also saw the following,31.5.12 between 12.45 and 13.10 :

T412 5119N 5024S (Aldgate/Amersham)
T456 5161N 5062S (Watford/Baker St)

What is stopped?

'stopped' is the term used for units that aren't serviceable. Doesn't mean that there is a scrap, but won't know till nearer the time.

Hi all!

Had a superb ride today on 5096-5097S and 5108-5109 N on T413, ALD-AME and return. Only heard one other A Stock unit out during off peak. It was an A60S-A62N combination, so probably either 5062/5161 or 5034/5231. Services rather disrupted today due to a major signal failure at Kings Cross during late morning and lunch time.

Can't believe there's only a few weeks left of regular service for these superb beasts!.

Best Wishes to all and thanks so much for all the gen posted here and on the other Met Line threads.

What is the fate of 5118 after its ill fated run up the Chesham branch this evening?

Hi all!

As I posted previously, I was out yesterday (Friday) on Met train 413 formed of units 5096-5097 and 5108-5109. Does train 413 go out to Uxbridge at any point during its diagram please? When it terminated at ALD having come from AME at around 15.35, after the driver had changed ends, he made an announcement that the train would be for "All stations to Uxbridge". I was unable to check any of the platform indicators and left the train at Baker Street, so was unable to find out whether this was just a slip of the tongue or whether the train was actually heading out for Uxbridge. Could someone please confirm where it was heading?

Many thanks in advance for any help.

Best Wishes

Green Lion.
