Schoma locos are all stopped and are none runners all out of service they only did half to battery locos but are no good project STOPPED and the video is last year. Was going to use them to tow the AIT for scrap but can not have them out of ticket as well no maintenance as well.

My question was intended to be about Sarah and future signalling upgrades. I’m aware she’s currently away. Not much room in Sarah even with bolt stuff

When all the new signalling fitted on the underground there will be no heritage trains running on the underground the Q STOCK to run on non LUL lines with a generator car to say Enjoy while it lasts to say PS Luacton not to sure what you are saying and part signalling with the AIT dumped

I think the last train crash but one train D78 at Richmond buffer stop.

This sounds intriguing Can you give any more information? AFAIK it is to be used as a generator car to enable the Q Stock to operate off LU metals. That`s why the A60 has not gone for scrap unless they change there mind.

I've just reviewed my footage from 2012 when the RAT train arrived at the platform at Roding Valley station where I was standing (waiting for a train to complete a journey).
My footage suggests that apart from the carriage with the RAT liquid tanks the rest of the train still has seats.
Given that the trains are also fully equipped with the required control gear to be compatible with the Central Line's ATO system so I suspect that many enthusiasts will easily formulate 'ideas'! As this is not a RIPAS or crayonista thread I will refrain from going in to detail.
btw, this footage has not yet been made available for people to see because first I need to have some late 1980's super 8 film which is from several locations on the Hainault loop professionally digitised.

Can't be 100% sure, but normally the sandite trains run about with the actual seats removed but the framework in place. Would just be a matter of putting the seats back in, and cleaning any sandite that has been trodden though the train. Hi inside a RAT

You can run as units 4 car 59 will work with a 4 car 62 they have the same control wires at the auto coupler.

You can run 1959 with 1962 tube stock same train but no 59s to say.

I found this video a few weeks ago, which is apparently from Siemens. "an iconic design for an iconic city energy saving never looked so good" I'm not too sure about that.. The comments section is also quite an amusing read. Also, Newham looks like a nice Tube station. There's also this on Siemens' site w3.siemens.com/topics/global/en/goingunderground/Pages/home.aspxI think thy will look like this i think not a blood sucking fish.

Hello all I'm doing some research on saloon heaters for my 62TS, which in turn has thrown up some queries. There are twelve heater elements per car, does anyone know the wiring configuration? I assume they are either all in series across the 630V, or are in say two strings of six. Heaters are about the only schematic I don't have, or at least I can't put my hand on. My query refers to 62TS, but I imagine evrything up to 72TS is the same. All help greatly appreciated Hi does this help you

These are replacing the turbots or GP wagons or both? Hi some of the turbots have gone to Arlington Eastleigh Works i think for overhaul there are photos on carl watson web. www.carlswatson.com/trains.html

fish7373/Rummer: There's something missing here. By your description, track walk begins from WB platform. When you reach the crossover there are some planks laying across it (to form a bridge). Then somehow you're in the siding where you telephone the supervisor - is there not still a passageway between the crossover and siding? HI as to say there is no passage way at the end of the platform you have to walk along the main line running tunnel with traction current on your have to watch your footings to say hairy and cross the cross over then opens into a large tunnel passage way to the buffers stops and has a pit in the siding as well to say.

I have read in a handful of sources that the very end of the DS siding has foot access to the HPK crossover. However, it is very difficult to find out more about this - it only ever seems to be referenced in a sentence or so. My questions are: 1) Was there ever a link passageway for drivers to walk down? If so, does it still exist? 2) If it does exist, is it still common practice for drivers to use it, or would they walk down the main running tunnels? 3) Are there any photos? (There are quite a few DS siding photos knocking around, but these are usually taken closer to the DS end) Yes there is a passage, and there certainly was a procedure for using it, and probably still is. In actual fact most if not all sidings have some kind of bolthole giving access to the adjacent running line or lines. Kennington, Archway and Tooting Broadway certainly do - although they're not really suitable for use as an access point, in most cases being narrow and often involving hazards like having to climb over cable runs or whatever. These boltholes do however sometimes make useful short-cuts if walking the track in engineering hours! There is no passage way to walk down as such, at first there is wooden boards on the track over the crossover in to a tunnel,at the end of the westbound plateform cockfosters end, to go in the Line control stops a train in the platform and the driver shuts down and gives keys to the station supervisor as for protection with the train when in sideing you ring station supervisor you are in and in a safe place and to come out do in rev`s order

Interesting, it does make me wonder what the chains and hooks are for then? Redundancy? NO they are safty chains just incase there is a break away or the ward coupler comes apart that`s what the chains are for.

The reason 72 stock cars from the Victoria line were used for the MPVs and other cars 72ts were retained at Eastleigh was the fact of the driving controls being standard with deadman, the 67 DMS only had vigilance button, and were designed more for ATO operation, braking and traction systems were operationally different, and the driving technique would be different, that's why as many 72 cars from the Vic line were retained initially for engineering vehicles because if this, as anyone with 72ts knowledge can drive them.

It's interesting that when the AIT project was abandoned it was decided to overhaul the 1960-stock Pilot Motors for continued use with the TRV, rather than make use of these MPUs or the motive-power elements of the AIT. No doubt there is a very good reason. The MPUs are not fitted with buckeye couplers may be the reason.

The TRV number 666 is part of its top`s number which Was part of BR it was the only underground car allowed to run on british railways, Why the car is fitted with buckeye couplers and 27 way blue star control jumpers.

Just two trains so far as far as I am aware - I don't have the unit numbers to hand, but the units formerly in the Night Tube livery have standard Barman moquette and one of the units used as a Sandite during the autumn has received a refreshed interior including a sightly different version of Barman and repainted handrails etc, essentially to tidy up the mess made by the Sandite. I'm not sure if any more are due to be refreshed, but I'd be surprised if they weren't - the Tube Lines moquette is no longer available and trains are a similar condition to that seen on the Bakerloo line prior to their refresh. fish7373 may have more info. Yes mid mid life refurb But called life extension done at cockfoster depot.

Sometimes, late running trains are terminated at Hatton Cross. However, on approach to Hatton Cross, the DVA announces “this train is for terminals 1,2,3 and 5. Passengers for terminal 4 should change at Hatton Cross.” This happens on any Hatton Cross terminator, and is confusing. HI Which car number then or all trains.
