It seems sad to see a valuable asset sitting around doing nothing. It is known what's wrong with it? And has it become the proverbial Christmas tree?

Afternoon all,
Wonder if anybody could help with a few random engineers workings from early this morning? I got the first Metropolitan train from Ruislip Manor (05:20) into London and saw several engineer workings going the other way, not 100% sure of the train IDs but they all seemed to be Hammersmith-Ruislip. Any help with the consists would be great (train IDs are what I could work out from part detail on intertube so may not be correct):

#556 ???-Ruislip track machine type that I've never seen before

??? That passed whilst I was getting my ticket

#632 Hammersmith-Ruislip engineers top'n'tail locos & wagons

#631 Hammersmith-Ruislip engineers top'n'tail L51 + L17 plus wagons

#630 Hammersmith-Ruislip track machine

Cheers, Chris

Hi,

Not sure if this was the right place to ask but the dedicated forum is now closed for reply’s

Does anybody have an idea if the Central Line RATS could be running this Saturday? The 0943 off Ruislip Depot in particular, as I’m aware these run as required.


Thanks!

T489 is still scheduled runs-as-required 0943 ex-Ruislip depot, weather dependent

Thanks, I’ll give it a go tomorrow as it doesn’t look like great weather

Good morning


I was just wondering if anybody has potentially some sort of confirmation or sighting of the 0943 RAT off Ruislip Depot- the adhesion doesn’t look to good today!

I just don’t want to potentially make a trip out to see it for nothing.


Many thanks’

Sorry for not responding sooner, but I'm afraid my system does not pick up any details of this sort of working (formation, passing times etc)...

Ah no worries, thanks for the response anyway. If I'd known in advance I would have got there 5 minutes earlier and then waited for the next Met service so I could have seen them all passing through the station.

I bashed the Piccadilly line yesterday and was wondering if anyone has a complete list of the current 2x3 car formations (how often do they change?) It would be much appreciated as I'm planning on doing something similar tomorrow.

If you're after anything specific I'd recommend the intertube site, although with the Piccadilly line I find it isn't always that useful in realtime especially for services that go round the loop at Heathrow. I try to keep a record of what's been running recently but this won't cover every unit as some won't have been out for a while. If it helps this is what I have noted from personal sightings and other sources, the dates in brackets are the last noted date so should give you a good starting point even if some have changed since last week:

Huge thanks Chris. All lines up with my observations yesterday (17/10) - so I don't need an eye-test just yet. I can add the following: 241 + 130, 253 + 110 and 887 + 168. This will make my life a lot easier tomorrow.

Glad it's of use, and thanks for the additions, I'll add those to my list. I did know 110 had changed but hadn't seen which unit it was paired with yet.

91341 is very long term stopped (since 2016). It has a significant modification that was tried, but not extended to the rest of the fleet (aside from one non cab unit which is also stopped). There was a project to return it to service, but this was paused at the beginning of the pandemic. There was a brief restart of this work more recently, but it has come to nothing. It will eventually get the AC traction upgrade as part of the Central Line Improvement Programme (CLIP), but probably as one of the last to be done. From memory, 91155 however is one of the prototypes in this programme, so is stopped now but should be back in service in 2023…

Hi chaps
Wonder if any one can help me in tracking down my hard to find underground stock, have travelled down from Doncaster several times in recent weeks with zero success.
I am assuming that the units on my list are stored/out of service?

Picc:. 868
Bakerloo:. 3260 3532
Circle:. 21379/21380 21479/21480
Jubilee:. 96078
Victoria: 11035/11036 11057/11058
Central: 91111 91263 91337 91341
92012. 92446

Any help would be most appreciated

Central: 91111 91263 91337 91341
92012. 92446

Any help would be most appreciated


Bakerloo: 3260 and 3532 are both stopped with an expected return date of 1 December 2022
Victoria: 11035/11036 11057/11058 are both long term stopped with return dates of 1 December 2022 and 31 December 2022
Central: 91111, 93012, 93446 and 91263 are all stopped for conversion to AC traction and should be back in service next year - although you could see them test running. 91337 and 91341 are very long term stopped, with no realistic chance of return until they go through the AC traction programme (see my previous post in this thread about 91341).
S7: 21379/21380 stopped with an expected return date of the end of this month, 21479/21480 stopped with an expected return date of March 2023.

I cannot see the above information for the Piccadilly and Jubilee units you ask about, but 868 (with 869 leading) last worked on 9 September 2022. As far as I can tell, 96078 has been stopped throughout the year.

Evening all,

Thanks to Donnychris and notverydeep in the conversation above which has answered the whereabouts of some of my last LUL units too. Out of interest, Bakerloo 3260 & 3532 are the only 2 of those I need too, I did notice on Intertube (assuming it was correct) that they did a couple of runs from Stonebridge Park to Elephant & Castle and back last month, I think I noted it as 10th & 11th Oct (it ran as service #744) so hopefully it will be back out next month as I missed these as I couldn't get out of work in time.

The other units that are eluding me are as follows so I'd really appreciate it if anybody had any info on any of these:

Central: 91001, 91093, 91101, 91109, 91209 & 92026, 92054, 92150, 92176, 92206.
S7: 21463/464, 21487/488, 21503/504, 21549/550 (and also need 21469/470 which I've seen photos of inside Ealing Common shed but haven't been able to positively id which one it is when I've seen the shed doors open).
Jubilee: 96017, 96049, 96111, 96126.

Any help with any of these, either where they currently are or when they are likely (or unlikely) to return to service would be great.

Thanks very much, Chris (from not far from Donny :D)

3260 and 3532 are undergoing Rail Vehicle Accessibility Regulations (RVAR) modifications. There expected OK date is 1 December, so that fits with a recent-ish test run, hopefully nearly finished.

91001, 91093, 91109, 93026, 93054, 93176 and 93206 are all stopped as part of the Central Line Improvement Programme (CLIP) for fitting AC Traction.
91101 has been waiting materials for some time and remains stopped past its expected return date.
93150 has the same modification as 91341 (see many posts in this thread) and is long term stopped and will likely not be touched until it and 91341 enter the CLIP programme.

91209 is working train 57 and is just approaching Ealing Broadway as of 11:27 today.

21463/464, 21487/488 and 21549/550 are all stopped expected back at the end of the year.
21479/480 are not expected back until March 2023.
Take these dates to be an aspiration rather than a guarantee...

I need most of the one's you have listed. Jubilee 96017/126 . S7 21463/64/69/70/ 87/88/ 503/04/49/50. My list say's long term out of service.

21503/504 is also stopped showing the end of the year as its return date...

The Jubilee line units listed above all appear to be stopped and were last recorded working on:
96017 16 February 2022
96049 25 November 2021
96111 17 June 2022
96126 9 August 2020

I don't have details of why they are stopped or when they might return to service I'm afraid.
