Excellent find, suppose they didn't know the proper start was "Most Underground carriages last a very long time, so these spanking new coaches will be carrying us when we're all fifteen years older, 'til the year 1998. Then off to Booths."

Also, they weren't the first tubes to have passenger door open.

Fantastic find - thank you for sharing. Also, they weren't the first tubes to have passenger door open. Perhaps he meant 'tube' in the context of 'deep-level tube', having acknowledged that the District line already has them. Unless you mean these weren't the first in the sense that the experimental trains of the '30s featured door buttons? |

No worries! I've just had a look through the rest of their channel and found a couple of 1986 stock clips: The second one features a very short snippet of the on-board DVA, which seems to be a male voice as opposed to the female voice heard here when the 1986 stock visited Aldwych. |

Then off to Booths." In the case of the batch 2 units, rather less than 15 years, not forgetting unit 3623 which was long-term stopped by the 1990s and never ran again. |

I know there were problems with the 83 stock but did anyone drive them? Were they good to drive?

i only drove one for a very short trip, from Ealing Broadway to Moorgate, during a Rail Tour.
It was very similar to D Stock, although the extra braking notch ('holding' I think) did cause a bit of confusion.
I remember the trip well, as our pilot-man, from Parsons Green depot, was allowed to get off early at Earl's Court however on the approach to Edgware Road the Operating Official reminded me that the train was scheduled to reverse at Moorgate, somewhere that Acton drivers don't go! PG crews still worked the Circle Line on Sundays at that time. So effectively we ran blind, with nobody in the front cab knowing the route.
