After the A Stock trip a few of us poured over some sattelite images of the MoD/QinetiQ base at Shoeburyness/Pig's Bay.
A little bit of Googling brought me across this image from Geograph.org taken in 2008:
The caption states: "The extensive railway system of the MOD at Shoeburyness has long been used to store withdrawn railway rolling stock prior to scrapping. On view here are six coaches of a former Gatwick Express train while just visible on the left is the end coach of a former London Underground Northern Line train."
I assume this is Mk1 72ts, 2008 was four, nearly five years ago now. Does anyone know if there is any tube stock still there, and if so why?
