Yesterday I noticed units 7004 and 7005 working together. Does anybody, with a very long memory, know if these two would have been delivered as a similar pairing back in the early 80's? If so, it seems appropriate to see them re-united for what may be their last few weeks in service.

I was only a young'un when they were delivered, but I'd suggest it was likely:
West end single ended units start at 7000 and East end start at 7001; so on that basis......

21 out of 30 left isn't bad! Was probably out of 29 as Friday seems to be the day when the next train is withdrawn. The list doesn't normally update until Monday. It's impressive how many D's are still running. There are enough S's around now to make it possible to run only 15 D's. |

Nominated D Stock workings from today are:
M-F 1, 4, 6, 10, 11, 12, 15, 20, 32, 54, 56, 62, 63, 66, 67. peak workings: 101 102 105 106 107 124 125.
All other trains can be formed of either D or S7, with the exception of: 7 must be S7, 125(AM) must be D.

Just noticed that 7000 has been withdrawn.
In terms of the nominated workings, 125 AM has to be a D due to it being the Mansion House reverser. What will happen when the D's are all gone?
And why does 7 have to be an S?

All other trains can be formed of either D or S7, with the exception of: 7 must be S7, 125(AM) must be D. Just been having a gander at the May 2015 WTT, and it's interesting to me to note that, and its commencement, the anticipated nominated workings for S Stock were: 7, 32, 56, 62, 63, 64, 66, 67, 123, 124. ...however, now all but 7, 64 &123, are part of the nominated for D! Is there a reason behind that...? |

Is there a reason behind that...? It's about ensuring that the right number of D's end up at the correct stabling points, as some depot roads can't take S7's yet. However, in my experience, the nominated workings can vary a lot from day to day. |

T7 is due to perform a Radio Alarm Test (22.12 RMD note YR), something that cannot be done on a D Stock. The end of the Ds and Mansion House rationalisation may well coincide. |

Extend it to Tower Hill and have a quick turnaround? |

We recently had 5 or 6 S7's unserviceable at Upminster! One went through Earls Court going west think it was train 35? On Saturday afternoon creeping along with Not In Service and could see something open behind the driver. The next one behind a reformed Wimbledon caught the one in front at Stamford Brook it was such a slow journey. |

Sorry for the incomplete listings at the end................the reactions aren't what they used to be. Regards Richard M.

Nice to see, first to traffic 7532/3, still in service.

It's getting to the point now where you can feel the D's slipping away. OK, you don't have to spend ages looking for them, but they now heavily outnumbered by the S stock.
I suspect the number will drop off even further after the new timetable next month, with fewer trains stabling at Ealing Common.

As you say, the 'D's are getting noticeably fewer each time I manage to get up to London. Another late morning session today produced: (4) 7046 + 7502/3, (56) 7014 + 7017, (23) 7095 + 7012,(?) 7070 +7101, (6) 7534/5 + 7031, (33) 7512/3 +7105, (?) 7042 + 7516/7, (?) 7508/9 + 7007, (?) 7061 + 7506/7, (10) 7530/1 + 7075. Passing Ealing depot I could see 7018 + 7033 and 7048 + 7532/3.

Are all of these remaining D78 stock running as six car trains ? These numbered workings may be familiar with those of us fortunate enough to see them everyday but to the uninitiated they mean nothing? from the Saturday service info can we assume that there are 19X six car sets available ? thanks

These numbered workings may be familiar with those of us fortunate enough to see them everyday but to the uninitiated they mean nothing? from the Saturday service info can we assume that there are 19X six car sets available ? thanks On the District D Stock are formed of 6-cars - they only operated as 3-car units while in the East London Line. A few posts back, I listed the Set numbers operated by destination served ie. Saturdays: 1-25 RMD-UPM 26-50 EBWY-UPM 51-56 Wim-THill 60-67 Wim-BKG 113 114 Olympia Coupled unit numbers are shown thus 7080+7109. Posters should use this rather than the short 42+507 to avoid confusion with Set numbers. Yes, on Saturday 19 6-car trains were in operation, from a pool of 52 units (26 trains, -1 today) available, this has the units currently available: www.districtdavesforum.co.uk/thread/23190/stock-withdrawals-list |

Polling day at school so managed to sneak a ride on the District!
D stock workings today:
1,2,4,6,10,11,12,16,20,30,32,33,56,63,65,67,101,102,103,105,106,125,126
23 D stock out of 25 available. Clearly some issue with S stock availability to run that many D's when the nominated number should be 18. Anybody know any details?
