    London Underground stock requests

    11035 has been out of use for a very long time, certainly the last couple of years. I'd like to know where it is as it's my last set. I haven't seen 11089 since about early Sep last year so that's another one that's looking like a long term out of use set too. Sorry that's not really any help...

    West Midlands Metro Wednesbury Depot Question

    Hi all, Just wondered if anybody knows of a good vantage point to view the West Midlands Metro depot at Wednesbury? There doesn't look to be a very good view of the tram parking area from anywhere on Google Maps other than the large wooded area just to the south but I assume this is private...

    London Underground stock requests

    Not a request but according to Intertube, Jubilee pair 96111 + 96112 were out working today. These have been out of use for quite some time and not been noted working (to my knowledge) since October 2022. Typical as 96111 is one of my last three and I travelled back from London to North Lincs...

    Battery locos on west Ruislip depot

    They change the locos quite regularly and use them for shunting aroind the depot too. If you have time get off the tube at Ruislip Gardens and walk up the road towards the depot entrance, you can normally identify quite a few of them through the wire fence just before the security office.

    Non-Urgent TOPS Requests

    Afternoon all, would anybody be able to tell me what the middle 755 was today on 1P37? Was too fast to see it properly when it passed Stratford and there's no diagrams for the 755s on Part Time Spotter today (was with 755410 & 755329) Many thanks, Chris

    Afternoon all, I wonder if anybody has the consists for today's 1Z40/42 and 1Z70/72 steam tours from Paddington? Just seeing if it's worth me going out late to see them when they return tonight. Many thanks, Chris

    Jubilee Line to Heathrow T5 -- is transfer to Piccadilly or Elizabeth faster?

    Not sure if you've seen this site, not the clearest diagrams but I find them very useful in most cases: https://www.ianvisits.co.uk/articles/3d-maps-of-every-underground-station-ab-14630/

    London Underground stock requests

    Out of interest I just went to Ealing Broadway on the Central Line and to my surprise 21549/550 was sat in the platform working a District service. This has been long-term out of use and was 1 of my last 4 S7 pairs. Not sure what it's had done to it but it didn't look like it had just come out...

    The Hawk is from the joint Qatari Air Force training Sqn at RAF Leeming. The other one is a Learjet C-21A, US Air Force Europe used as a VIP transport. I've seen it at RAF Northolt a few times as that's a regular spot for military VIP flights.
