On Friday I was on a train that went into wrong platform at Gloucester Road as a result the train had to go via High St Ken to Earl's Court resulting in 7007 being on the west end I had my hands full so was unable to get a picture
I don't know if it has been "re-reversed" so it back the correct way round

They were fine never used apart from 1 move per day.
On a bit of a rant here but if the timetabling section and the signal ops used more and more of the routes available to them the equipment would get used more and less likely to fail.
To be fair though apart from Harrow on the Hill which suffers in the hot weather we don't have many point failures. When a area gets upgraded you do expect some teething problems whilst the points are bedding in but on the whole most of them are reliable.

Presumably the driver had signed for that side of the triangle? Other than if you want to remarshal the units, is there actually a problem with a D stock being back to front? |

Are District drivers signed on the Circle between Gloucester Road and HSK?
Also, is there a planned order of withdrawal for the D stock? How long does 7000 have left?

District drivers are not trained between Gloucester Road and High Street or return. 7000 is one of the useful de-icing units and very few (only two, 7010 to RAT and the non-standard 7008) have been withdrawn. The double-enders will also be some of the last to go. |

There was also a rumour that Upminster and Barking crews would be signed off from Earls Court to Edgware Road. |

So who turned it round again? Probably piloted by a H&C / Circle driver. |

There was also a rumour that Upminster and Barking crews would be signed off from Earls Court to Edgware Road. I've read somewhere on this forum (I don't have time atm to search for it) that all District line crews would be road trained on all of the District line (presumably when the S stock roll-out is complete). There was talk of training District drivers on the Gloucester Road to HSK side of the triangle, but last I recall that was being considered but hadn't been decided. I can't remember if C&H crews are road trained on the Tower Hill to Aldgate East stretch, but if they aren't it would make sense for them to be so if the District Line drivers are being trained per above. |

I think they are as when Whitechapel was still a proper reversing point every now and again a circle would get turned to go in the opposite direction. Also I think but not 100% one of the last circles on the Inner road go via Tower Hill and Aldgate East to Barking to stable |

Departs Aldgate East at 05 38½ and Tower Hill 05b41½. |

Anyone know when 7115 or 7534 are due to go? Last units to go for refurb. Reminds me of Dave driving them back in 2008.

Although with only 32 D stocks left, it's unlikely that there will be the full quota of 28 in service. |

Although with only 32 D stocks left, it's unlikely that there will be the full quota of 28 in service. And today all 21 trains produced the 21 diagrammed D stock units! Between 11.20am and 14.00 units seen, in order, at South Kensington were: 7046 + 7518/9, 7007 + 7508/9, 7000 + 7536/7, 7048 + 7534/5, 7038 + 7506/7, 7042 + 7516/7, 7079 + 7504/5, 7022 + 7093, 7026 + 7109, 7107 + 7040, 7034 + 7115, 7014 + 7005, 7053 + 7020, 7017 + 7004, 7006 + 7538/9, 7108 + 7033, 7024 + 7097, 7044 + 7099, 7012 + 7031, 7037 + 7502/3 and 7051 + 7512/13.

Due to severe problems at the Upminster end of the District this morning, my plans to try and see all the remaining off-peak D stock workings were somewhat upset - in the wrong place at the wrong time! However, the workings I did manage to see produced: 7037 + 7502/3, 7006 + 7538/9, 7020 + 7053, 7021 + 7520/1, 7026 + 7109, 7038 + 7506/7, 7016 + 7101, 7007 + 7508/9, 7032 + 7057, 7002 + 7111, 7022 + 7093, 7018 + 7061, and 7000 + 7536/7.
