Evening folk, I was just flicking through a thread about S stock and it reminded me of a video I saw of an S8 (presumably the prototype) being delivered to the LUL network. This S8 carried a nameplate ('Tim O' Toole' I believe) on one of the Driving Motor cars. Two questions, A) Is this still around? B) Is it a permanent name or a publicity stunt.
I can't remember the video, or the link. But it was on YouTube. If anyone has the link, please help me out and post it here.
Thanks for your time.
Matt

From another thread
"21099 'Tim O'Toole CBE' is a pre-production unit, so hasn't ever run in service. Both pre-production trains are now at Derby, the other (21001) has gone back twice as it returned to London as a S8-1 for a while, but recently went back again"

Was the train on the trial service between Watford and Wembley Park a pre-production train?

It wouldn't have been in pax service but it did do testing on the route.
I think both pp trains will be scrapped like the 2009ts.
