Just three at the moment.
T3 - 7012+7095
T6 - 7046+7503
T7 - 7016+7533*
(*East end DM number is an educated guess based off previous formations)

nice that 7533 is running today, on the 37th Anniversary of it forming the first train in passenger service!

Didn't it have a door fault on its first outing?

Yes, got from Ealing Common to Earl's Court before the fault which affected the Passenger Open feature. That led to a hurried circuit mod to allow Passenger Open to be used again. The relay added wasn't super reliable and it was nice to delete it on Refurb when Passenger Open was completely removed.

Looks like 7070 - 7115 are going next week.
7115 was last unit through Refurb.

Looks like 7070 - 7115 are going next week. 7115 was last unit through Refurb. A driver who stabled this very train last Thursday morning was told that it had now be decommissioned and he was the last operator - it came out again the next day ! Although today it does look very forlorn. |

7115 was indeed part of the last unrefurbished D stock back in 2008. The late great District Dave was driving in 7115 as it went into Ealing Common depot. Also, with the recent withdrawals and chatter on the internet, there are suggestions that the D's will be gone by the end of Feb? Is there any truth in this? |

New timetable (WTT149) in May states ALL trains formed of S7 |

Indeed; the plan (as it stands) is for all units to have gone by then. No earlier date is currently confirmed, but their days are numbered.

I caught train 30(I think)from Tower Hill this morning and it was a D stock. Really highlighted how much more spacious S stock trains are.
First time I've seen one in a few months actually!

7535 7030 undergoing bogie and motor change in Upminster depot, similar to the work undertaken at Ealing Common on 7034 7018 recently.
I realise this is not regarded as true "heavy maintenance" as I described it in an earlier post but seems major to an untrained eye.

I suspect these two trains may be the last ones in service if they are deemed worthy for work to be done on them. |

Unless they have a deal with Vivarail to supply a train with no major faults to them who knows?

7030 unit had a motor fault. But it is listed for one of the last withdrawals anyway.

Yes, but if it was listed here won't that spoil the speculation?  |
