Am hoping to be in London on Sat. I'm expecting there will be around 4-6 D stocks in service. Does that sound like a reasonable estimate for how many D's might be?

No engineering works this weekend so you could be lucky.

Thanks for posting this, I was in London today and this information was very useful. I travelled on and filmed 7016 + 7527 and 7032 + 7057, and also saw a couple of others pass while I was on board an S7. There was a D end unit on its own stabled completely inside the shed at Ealing Common Depot, just visible from passing trains at the Ealing end of the depot. |

Today, the hottest September day in London for 100 years, I had to take a trip to my old haunt, Westminster. Having spend about 15min at Tower Hill on an empty S stock keeping cool on the way out, the time came to return just after 2000, with me looking forward to air con all the way to Mile End. D78s 7007+7070 rolled in, much to my horror (and unhappy recollections of sweltering journeys in the early 80s before they were fitted with opening quarterlights)
However it was quite nostalgic a trip, and not quite as unpleasant a journey with the refurbed stock to Mile End as I feared. It'll probably be the last time I take a D stock home, and I have almost come to regard them as old friends!

I was in a line SPAD meeting the other day and it was stated that D stock will still be with us till May 2017.
I don't know how many though.....

I expect they are keeping a few back to cover for S stock absence. They will have to use them sparingly though, otherwise the mileage will rack up. We don't want no available trains for the D stock farewell runs!

Sounds like the Intruder Alarm was sounding, sometimes a false or no indication is given at the drivers end. |
