Trains passing through / calling at Willesden Green station on the London UndergrounD.

Normally only Jubilee Line trains call here - Metropolitan Line and Mainline trains out of Marylebone station pass through at speed.

Filmed in evening rush hour, early 1990's.

i must say some exellent footage there do you have any

more videos of the 1983 tube stock? p.s my favorite channel!

[citytransportinfo]

Thanks.

I dont know about more footage of that stock. To a certain extent I goofed with this rolling stock, because I did not pay enough attention to it, and it was replaced sort of without my realising it.

Very short lived, like the Watford Joint Stock and the 9 car trains on the Northern Line..

Seems weird that the 1983 stock featured here all went for scrap about 10 years later and that the A60/62 stock on the met (the fast one in the vid) are still going! Excellent vid

door problems - it was realsied that the single leaf doors made station stops longer, so when the line was extended and new trains were needed they replaced the whole lot.

I think attempts were made to use them elsewhere, but obviously nothing happened.

The 'Watford Joint Stock' of the early 1920's also only lasted little more than a decade.

(specially built for Bakerloo services to Watford Junction)

They would have made ideal replacements for the '38 stock on the Isle of Wight!

Remember these trains very well. They had a fantastic bright orange/yellow interior & very quiet engines. They made a funny sound when the air from the brakes was released (like panpipes!).

83 stock. The baby-D.

[josephbevan96]
