A Stock Farewell

[TVStudios123]

Nuu. Don't go.. :'(

[dontrequest]

To confuse all: There was a time where the Hammersmith & City Line was a Metropolitan branch, but already served by C stock.

[MultiCARTOON]

Poor A stock train I love A stock train AWWWW

[paxmannut]

MORE LIKE......... A trip with Jim and Dennis to cover the *whole* of the Metropolitan line on A Stocks before they are replaced by the SHITE Stock.

[MultiCARTOON]

I love U A stock train Rest in Peace

[keithspillett]

I went to a lecture about the S stock a while back, and people in the audience who are, apparently, 'in-the-know' were moaning that the new trains not only have less seats than the A stock, but those they DO have feel as though they're made of concrete.......

[antjeisback]

@keithspillett Not just concrete: plastic more like. The A Stock were PROPER trains.

[MultiCARTOON]

Im going to CRY

[iib8903]

[MultiCARTOON]

S stock train is going to miss the Farther A stock train. S stock train loves his father A stock train since he play.

The S stock train is similar to the A60 stock.

[MultiCARTOON]

A60 stock is working so hard in the 1960s. but the baby s stock train is now all grown up and ready for s stock to make new friends to the tube trains.

[MultiCARTOON]

[DANWOODHOUSE1]

are you going to the funeral then Mr Multicartoon?

[Tzemii]

I'm going to miss The A-Stock. Northwood Hills was my local station and I can remember when I was about 5 standing there and watching them go by.

[LondonTransportFan69]

Ahh, Chesham, my local station. It will be a sad day when the A stock and the Chesham shuttle disappear. They certainly have served London well so lets hope most of the units go into preservation. Great video also

[taykb88]

I heard about the replacement of the A Stock. How sad

[MetlineA62]

They're doing away with the shuttle altogether. Once the S-Stock arrives it shall happen.

[larrylarski]

What is the purpose of the center rail?

[Antipwnsurmum]

These are actually supposed to be 4-rail trains. 2 for the voltage, one at a negative voltage and one at a positive to give the PD of 600v or w/e.

[toppackage]

I wouldnt say its too eary they will all be gone by 2012 A60s have served us all well..

[dndwizard94]

isn't it a bit early to be saying your farewells to the a stock? the s stock aren't coming for a few years

[xiec]

The A-Stock literally stank, I swear it used to give me regular sore throats. Distgusting, leaking, slow train.

[metadyneman]

Just to clarify all of the above:- The correct TRC formation is in fact 2 x cravens 1960 TUBE stock driving motor cars (not Cravens A stock surface cars) which were identical (before modifications) to the cravens driving motor cars that are preserved by Cravens Heritage Trains.. plus 1 1973 stock trailer car kitted out with all the TRC gear. Why is this called farewell to the A sock.. it's still running by the way!

[desiro444]

Thanks for the info. It was a farewell to the A stock as we were in the area, they're going at some point, and I never go up there anyway! lol

[wigwags4ever]

They're going in 2013

[Biraphile]

@metadyneman What does TRC mean?

[metadyneman]

@Biraphile Track Recording Coach

[Biraphile]

@metadyneman Thanks for that :-)

[Jubilee1996]

Track recording unit?

Wasn't that the 1960 tube stock?

[gavelex]

TRC is two 1973 tube stock driving motor's and a special unit in the middle called TRC666- I think the 1960 stock unit you are thinking of is the Central line's East End Sandite train.

[railwayperson]

yes it is, i saw it at victoria on the district line

[gavelex]

that wernt the TRC thats the ECS movement from the ELL

[desiro444]

I'm afraid it was a 4 car unit standing in for the TRC. It was wired up inside and we saw it all over the Met - Watford, Uxbridge, Amersham.
