I visited the London Transport Museum Action Depot today during one of their open day and was very pleasantly surprised by what I saw. I had thought that all the A stock had gone ... scrapped ... but no! See Tweet.... twitter.com/citytransportin/status/ 1573402091514724377 I also liked the restored and working Baker Street next train describer which now scrolls through many different journeys, including some obscure ones, such as 'terminates here', 'special' and even a train calling at stations which were Metropolitan but became Bakerloo and then Jubilee. |

I had thought that all the A stock had gone ... scrapped ... but no! Withdrawn from passenger service exactly 10yr ago on 26 September |

I suspect so! Thread title corrected. |

What was there before? Something went wrong on my first attempt to post that message (I accidentally pressed the F12 key which opened an on-screen box of computer code and by the time I realised what had happened my entire message had been deleted!) and I had to start again and its possible that an 'auto-fill' function inserted something else into the thread tittle box. |

I thought it was autocorrect because ‘Action’ also appeared in the body of the text, and autocorrect is a bit ‘variable’ with proper nouns. |

When I first typed this reply it was still there - but having refreshed the page I see that the url has changed too! |

Even before the days of autocorrect we often received mail addressed to Action Works.

Always nice to see A stock shame it doesn’t work anymore!
5034 was first and last in passenger service. As said the 10 year anniversary of their withdrawal is here.
6110 is kept for future use as a generator coach for the Q stock project.
