Met A-stock - Page 10

I assume they will include a fast non stop run between Baker Street and Amersham?

Wouldn't particularly fancy doing this being sat in one of the middle seats!

29th September. Might just be able to get into this.

Peter Mugridge · 17th August 2012, 12:48

I am told the price is £40 adult / £15 child - this is official.

Daniel · 17th August 2012, 18:52

With proceeds to the Railway Children's Charity.

While it's nice the proceeds will go to a good cause, I can't help but feel £40 is very steep in the tour is just going to traverse the Met line - I know the A Stock is cleared to few other places, but even so £40 seems a lot. I still really want to see the stock off though, and as I don't live near London - it's my only real chance!

Any idea what the route will be?

A suggestion of the likely route can found earlier in this thread;

Whether this is still current, I don't know!

Currently 2 A Stock out in service:
T403 5022+5091
T446 5063+5034

Thanks for the information. It's good to hear that they're giving the remaining A Stock a spin in service while they are still available.

I have good memories of waiting ages at Clapham Common back in October 1999 for one of the few remaining 1959 stock to appear in service for the evening peak.

I would doubt it too, as none have run at weekends for many weeks now.

I will miss those stock and I hope all stock can contain air conditioning like the New York City subway.

Deep tube stock is too small and the stations will be too hot
