Ex Aldwych station train for disposal

Two of the carriages departed Ruislip depot yesterday on lowloaders. I didn’t think it would survive Covid…
So that’s a livery gone from the Tube rails! I would have probably set up a game scene in it

I was lucky to see it in Aldwych during a tour, I thought it added something to the visit, we sat inside the train complete with 70s period adverts.

I rode on a similar trains when Aldwych was open for normal service.

A big loss IMO.

Scrap presumably, weren’t they stripped for parts? As above, this is really quite a shame.
