Totals of 8 trains seen this day did that line

I've heard the 10th of feb.

I think you may have got the wrong end of the stick.

All C&H services may be worked by S7 after 10.02.14, however should a C be available and an S not, there shouldn't be a reason why a C cannot be offered for service.

Also the 10th is unlikely to be the 'official' last day; merely the last regular day in service on the C&H.

I was at Euston square station today lads I did not see any C69/C77 stock trains on the Hammersmith to Barking today lads but that's what you said on the forum which was right lads thanks for that lads

But I saw 4 C stock on the circle line today lads

Good day all round got some photos into the camera and a bit of history and nice to see them

Not had any responses to this - is it a State Secret or does no-one know?

@johncoleman: have you ever come across the concept of punctuation? I'm getting breathless just reading some of your posts!

I went out on the Hammersmith & City today, and I got to Hammersmith at around 1120, and left by C Stock a couple minutes later, and my train was passed by two other C Stocks in quick succession, so this one after 1012 each day must have hit a hitch today.

I've been down in London today visiting my Dad and have to say we successfully completed our travelling on the H&C/Circle Line without having to endure the delights of these ageing cattle wagons. I spotted only two going in the opposite direction and it was interesting to see that, in both cases, the platforms they departed from remained fairly full. Now I realise there are a multitude of destinations available Westbound at Farringdon so there may have been a degree of selection in that respect but maybe the people squashed up on the platform there had a similar distaste for C Stock considering the next one along would likely be a brighter, air conditioned effort!

Next visit in March where it seem from the experts on here that I'll be extremely unlucky to have a C darken my journey.

C Stock, the underground train equivalent of the Austin Maxi.......masses of space to shift things but no style, poor reliability and not really worth preserving.

Even my father, approaching 80 was moved to say "these new trains are ten times better than the what we used before son!" and he's a card carrying Luddite who hates progress with a vengeance!

Has anything been scrapped this week?

I went down to London yesterday I felt I had to get some final photos of the c stock while they were still around. First task was to do a the first the whole line on a C69/C77 stock train from Farringdon to Edgware Road. I was very Lucky a old C stock turn up and was on a Circle line service. I jumps on it went around on the unit up to Edgware Road I jump off of at Edgware Road because it went back the other way. So I waited at Edgware Road saw the ones Running on the wimble wares services I missed two trains out of eight I waited for a Hour to get a C69/C77 stock Train it took a long time. But I got one down From Edgware Road to Liverpool Street station in the end there are not many around now lads. So I was pleased that I did this before It went S stock so I was pleased that I did it on old sock
