Does anyone know the details of the last D Stock train running in passenger service on the 21st? For example, the time and what journey it will do. Thank you, this will be very appreciated

I have seen it mentioned in several places that it should be diagram 004 which starts early from Upminster and finishes early evening at Ealing.

I have gathered together everything that you need to know if you want to #CatchTheD this week on my website, including the *planned* working on Friday. http://moretojack.com/your-last-chance-to-catch-the-d/

However, the details of the final train appear in this thread numerous times, just click back a few pages.

It must be stressed that, at this stage, the plan is subject to change, and anything could happen.

Thanks to all the in the know contributors to this discussion!

 

[bluegoblin7]

T55 has been reformed into T54: http://moretojack.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/CatchTheD-Train-54-RF.pdf

As of now, Train 004 is rostered as the last normal service D stock working, on Friday. It will run a Richmond to Upminster and back diagram all day. First trip 0624 Upminster to 0752 Richmond, and so on.

 

[Muzer]

Just saw 13 pass and... S Stock Signal failure must have caused reformation; anyone know the current diags?

 

[Muzer]

54 also spotted running as S Stock. It's a nice evening, I'll hang around until I see one. Just wish there were a loo here...

 

[Techniquest]

I've now saved the details of the expected final diagram, I expect to take advantage of a run on it somewhere but I have no idea where yet. I'm only in town for a few hours on Friday, but I'm glad I'll get the chance to have a spin on a D for one last time

Thanks must go to all those knowledgeable people, especially Deepgreen, for all the gen!

7018+7057 reported on T27 at 1930

 

[bluegoblin7]

For completeness, yesterday was a bit all over the place.

7018+7057 started as T55, then T54, then T27, before ending up on T45 stabling Lillie Bridge.

7526+7037 started as T13 and then reformed into T11. It stabled at Ealing Common.

Just one out this morning, the penultimate day to #CatchTheD. 7018+7057 on T124AM, stabling at Ealing Common at 1042: http://moretojack.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/CatchTheD-Train-124-AM.pdf

 

[bluegoblin7]

Last day today. As planned, one unit - 7023+7007 - will be out on T4. http://moretojack.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/CatchTheD-Train-4-final.pdf

 

[Techniquest]

Thanks for the confirmation, I'm happily in the right place for it and think I'll have a spin shortly!

 

[SpacePhoenix]

Have all the ones withdrawn so far been decommissioned within a few days of withdrawal?

 

[bluegoblin7]

Yes. 7018+7057 was down for decommissioning as soon as it arrived yesterday.

However the last two will remain serviceable for the railt our, and go after that. Handy to have a backup! ??????

 

[LiftFan]

I got this timing completely right for the last D stock - didn't know it was happening when I booked that trip to London so now we just have to wait for the S to overtake us at Earls Court

 

[Dhassell]

The train was running 20 minutes late, and has reversed early at Gunnersbury to try and make up time.

Including at least 10 minutes sitting at Earls Court while enthusiasts flocked around it and various personnel came and went from the cab. I suspect a turn at Gunnersbury won't go far towards recouping time, even if it's a slick move.

Interesting to see a 'westbound' board on the front on the Gunnersbury run just now - is it changed at each reversal (and is it magnetic), I wonder?

 

[Kite159]

Has 7032 come out to play today (as per that picture) or is it still 7023+7007 with that picture being taken earlier in the week?

I might try and get onto it at West Ham later

The picture was taken today at about 1120.

7023 was a typo; you would never get two odd numbered D Stock paired up.

 

[Blindtraveler]

Out of shear nozyness/interest, when a unit is decomissioned what is done to it/the process?

It's generic.

I may be late on this, but I’m afraid that the hashtag has a certain connotation with, um, a certain private part (blame the internet memes). I would have gone with #FarewellD78.

Next station, Bromley-By-Bow!!

We were held for a few minutes in West Ham Sidings to allow trains to pass us, and apparently this only happens two times a day on the Hammersmith and City Line!
