How long will it be before tickets go on sale for the C stock tour on 29th June (I do check the LTM website every day)?
Thanks, just wanted to make sure that I haven't missed it.

Indeed, this did see the use of more of the 8 C Stock trains available until the situation was resolved on 10 May.I'm told that there was an incident with the S7s last week, triggering the use of more C stock, but I don't know (or want to know) details.

An investigation is under way after two of London Underground's (LU) new trains collided when the tracks moved.
The collision happened on the District Line between East Putney and Southfields stations and caused minor damage to carriages.
Manager Kevin Bootle said the two trains had been temporarily withdrawn from service during investigations.
A transport union said the incident highlighted "cuts to track inspections and maintenance."
'No issues found'
Mr Bootle, who is LU's District Line manager, said there were no injuries in the collision on 1 May, which was caused because of a "very slight movement of the tracks."
"The safety of our customers and staff is our top priority and we apologise for the limited disruption this may have caused," he said.
In a letter to staff he said: "LU engineers are now working to modify the track to ensure that this incident is not repeated.
"As a precaution other areas on the branch were checked with no other issues found."

Two C Stock trains now scheduled for removal to Neasden/Northwood next week, and four the week after. District trains 72, 73 and 76 should be S Stock from 3rd June.
I thought train 74 was also going to S stock, or is it going to be a C stock hold-out for a bit yet?
