It shouldn't be a major problem getting 72TS, 73TS, 92TS, 95TS and 96TS trains to Neasden. Bakerloo Line trains need a possession to move from Baker Street up the Jubilee to Neasden Depot, so that would have to be planned in advance. The 73TS can have the static converter isolated, all it does is switch off the cab air con AFAIK. It is possible to move 92TS units around using pilot vehicles (62TS) from Ruislip Depot and 95TS can be moved as 3-car units between Battery and Schoma Locos. Jubilee Line 96TS are permitted to operate in Neasden Depot anyway.
09TS will be more difficult due to the perceived gauging issues. The Cravens unit at Northfields Depot is working as it has been shunted around recently and the 62TS sandite can still operate down to Neasden under tripcock protection. A 67TS unit could be brought over (3060, designated as the new Acton Works shunter once transferred from Northumberland Park). TRV shouldn't be a problem either.
Regards,
Dan

A train of 09TS can go by road as individual carriages. Gauging at the depot alone shouldn't be an issue.

Would they bother taking 09 stock to Neasden if it requires road transportation.
Charlie J and I were discussing this. 09TS could get to Neasden by transferring to the Piccadilly at Finsbury Park, then up to Rayners Lane, transfer onto the Metropolitan and to Neasden.

I'm sure that the 09's are slightly out of gauge on the Picc, which is the reason why they were delivered by road to Northumberland Park. |

Perhaps Victoria line rolling stock movements could be simplified by having a ramp down from the subsurface lines? I wonder how steep that ramp would be and if an 09TS/engineering train could actually climb it...

Sorry, when I typed that I was quite tired and the whole point of my post was to say that they probably wont fit through the curves around South Ken ;D  |

The only LT open day I have been to (Acton Museum Depot excepted) is the Morden open day in 1990. The non-railway highlight for me was listening to the steel band that was playing in the train shed. Fantastic and what a sound!

I hope this happens.
I went to the Centenary parade, and was taken there a couple of times by my dad back in the 1950s (including getting a cab ride in an F class - can't imagine that happening nowadays)

If I'm reading the document correctly that crankyconner put up, the stock from the Bluebell will be used with a steam loco. Thats one event i'm willing to pay mega bucks for to ride on!

Sounds like a good day to pencil in a summer unofficial meet...

My son would love to go to this, but only visits me once a fortnight from Devon. Since moving the open day is more likely than persuading his mother to let him out, can we do it the week before? ;-)
