Baker Street to Harrow by A60 stock

For those who don't know the origin of the title of this channel A60 stock was introduced London Underground's Metropolitan Line at the time of modernisation in the early 1960s. The stock is still in service in 2011( but is being replaced by new S stock). This film was shot in 1992 and is an edited journey form Baker Steet to Harrow on the Hill showing Finchely Road, Willesden Green, Kilburn, Neasden, Wembley Park (since rebuilt) , Preston Road and Harrow on the Hill Stations. The small trains are Jubilee Line trains that run alongside the Met between Finchley Road and Wembley Park.

What stock replaced the A60?

[A60stock]

Replacement starts next year with S stock, currently undergoing trails on the Old Dalby test track in Leicestershire. As S stock will also replace C and D stock on the Circle, H&C and District lines the additional 6 inches width at the sole bar A stock has will be lost. A stock was built to take advantage of the Met's generous loading gauge. The District railway was built to the conventional UK loading gauge.

back in the days when you couldnt go anywhere in london without seeing PFB and DDS graffiti

[DOLRED]

At 3:21 you can see a split in the right side railhead. There are several of these. If I was guessing--is this some kind of auto derail if a train is moving on this track in the opposite direction? Otherwise, its being there makes no sense?
