car 7508 has been dispatched from the LT Museum Depot, Acton - to be replaced with car 7012, which will remain as the permanent exhibit.

T13 has diverted to Olympia at c1212 instead of running through to Richmond. Departed there 1301, and now back on booked path.

I wouldn't take anything for certain yet! Last night the trains were expected to appear on their nominated workings alone - predictably that hasn't happened today, particularly with a reform then thrown into the mix. (But yes, it is feasible that it could end up on T4!) According to Colin: The train which will do the last working on Friday is being held back in Upminster depot specially for the task. I do not intent to imply that it is 100% guaranteed, but it seems that is the growing desire — provided that the depot sticks to the plan. |

7037/7526 was tipped out at UPM about 25 minutes after arrival going empty westbound.
Taking a C2C service in hot pursuit we overtook it at Upney still showing Not in Service
looking like it was going to go into Barking Sidings. The S7 on train 041 behind turned up
first at West Ham.

Point failure at Gloucester Road which is going to keep the Circle Line suspended until tomorrow morning and a relay failure at Barking, not a good day I suspect many more reforms will follow

D stock just terminated at Olympia after travelling from the east if that helps anyone hoping for a last sighting.
Sorry didn't get the train number but I guess it is meaningless under the circumstances.

Thanks - we certainly are, after trying to fathom out what has been going on "on the ground" for the whole day! A succession of changes and disappointments. Let's hope all today's events cover mishaps for the week and the final two days can pass with some semblance of normality. |

Hopefully 7526+7037 and 7018+7057 will now stay on T11 and T27 respectively until close. This puts 11 at Ealing and 27 at Upminster.

When does T124 finish for the day? Stables in Ealing Common depot after the morning peak. No guarantee T124 will be a D stock in the evening peak. |

1042 into Ealing. Two familiar faces could well be on board.

7018+7057 is now stabled inside Ealing Common Depot shed alongside 7526+7037 Does being stabled inside indicate that it won't be going out on a pm interpeak, or not necessarily? (Either 124 or 125 would bring it back to ECM for the night - if that's what they want to do). |

7018+7057 has run its last, decommissioned. very unlikely 7526+7037 will come out of ECom this afternoon.  after completing my last ever D Stock driving trip, 08.20 Barking EB to 10.42 Ealing Common depot 4E - 37 years 82 days since i travelled on the 1st trip in passenger service, Ealing Common>Ealing Bdwy ! |

A very sad day for you. You'd think they could at least have let it have a final afternoon outing. I'm sure you'll let us know if anything changes re. 7526+7037. Thanks for your help with all the information over the last few months. |

Very mean spirited of Ealing Common. They are taking a chance in hoping that the D stock at Upminster will actually work - it hasn't been in service for a week! If nothing comes out this afternoon and T4 runs as planned tomorrow, that means that the Wimbledon branch has already seen its last D in regular service

Indeed. Hopefully that isn't the case if T125 runs this afternoon.
Will this also mean that Olympia has seen it's last D78 in passenger service?

Silly question what is involved in decommissioning a train? Practically speaking not a lot other than removal of any items of equipment being kept (such as the connect radio units). Then when the time comes they're moved under their own steam - as single units - to the museum depot to await the low-loaders. |
