I'd love to drive one of these!! I'm bored of C stock :(

[luerexbob]

Excited for the S?

[DrummerFlea]

Not at all, they're not real trains!!

Lots of memories there,and l liked the surface version too,the old COP stock.All gone now bar one at Quainton Road.

I loved the end. Very Father/Son moment and quite humbling too. I miss those trains, the wooden flooring, the air cushioned seats, they were smaller but built for resilience, much like a lot of things back then. The dimmed lighting inside and the dangling holders from the ceiling. What an illustrious past the London Underground possesses.

dude, this train is tiny

The driver's wearing a hi-vis vest! On my first day as a bus driver, they expressly forbade that, because the reflections cast on the windscreen can stop you seeing important stuff.

I left the northern line in 1973, Recently I noticed that the super's office at the end of Kennington platform has gone. I was a guard to Albert Rosser there.

[myheartonmysleeve]

that was interesting, the london underground is the most fascinating at its best!

[StapledNote]

theyre much quieter than the modern trains!

[wigwags4ever]

They'll likely be replaced with '67 stock of the Vic line.

[jibberjabberman]

you guys and your terminology!!!!!!! i like trains with doors and wheels

[wigwags4ever]

I think they're still on the IOW!

Brings me back to a glorious summer spent living in England. Golders Green was my local stn., & early one Sunday morning, I rode one of these refurbished heritage trains (called "Starlight Express" at the time). That was in 1991.

Brought back fond memories when I worked on the Piccadilly Line. Had a chance to drive the last of the red 38 stock. Feel priveliged to have done so.

The replacement silver 59 stock was never as interesting.

[richa8685]

Oi! , don't be knocking the 59 stock !

[ODS31]

This shot dates me a little. I was brought up on the 1938 stock. But I guess one has to move with the times. At least in my days we ran a 100 such trains in the rush hour. The shunt back into No1 siding was interesting. Do they still stable in the loop at night?

[cbjoldham]

Glad it brought back some memories! It was my first time on 38 stock. I have to say they were a lot nicer ride, experience and sight than the modern stuff. It was also amazing how little had changed comparing the two, it was clearly a design ahead of its time. Can't answer the stabling question I'm afraid, Northern isn't my patch

[Cazkumali]

@cbjoldham That 1938TS has stopped I wonder why

[JamesMorganLondon]

I remember travelling on trains like this in the 60s when I was little. They ran on my local line which was then part of the Bakerloo Line. It's now the Jubilee Line. Great to see this type of train in motion. It brings back happy memories.
