Well, two of us saw 67 + 39 on Friday, so it's still running. Why not just spend a bit of time at the middle cross passage at Green Park or Warren Street in the peak? Chances are it'll turn up...
It's been there for a good few months now. It's the "royal train."LT Museum now have a driving car from a 67TS at the Acton depot.
From the end of may 2011 no 1967 stock will run north of severn sisters and the plan is for the victoria line to go over to 100% 2009 stock from june.
So get them while you can
there is word that LUL are looking a a railtour using 1967 stock on non victoria line routes

Sounds interesting, can you keep us informed please then?

All the weekend closures? Weekend closures on the Victoria line are very rare. There have only been a couple in the past six months. The asset replacement phase of the Victoria Line upgrade has only just really got going. The upgrade isn't due for completion for around 2 years.I just wonder whether this means all the weekend closures of the Victoria Line will cease soon? I am alarmed by the plan to close the whole line on one of the Bank Holiday Mondays, as I was planning to ride a class 09 train on the August Bank Holiday.
Next planned closures:
Saturday and Sunday, 28th and 29th May
Asset Replacement Work between Walthamstow Central and Tottenham Hale
No service between Walthamstow Central and Seven Sisters.
Bank Holiday Monday, 30th May
Engineering work between Brixton and Walthamstow Central and Station Works at Green Park
No service throughout the line.
Saturday and Sunday, 4th and 5th June
Railgrinding work between King’s Cross and Brixton
No service between Brixton and Highbury & Islington.
Saturday, 18th June
Railgrinding work between Walthamstow Central and Seven Sisters
No service between Walthamstow Central and King’s Cross.
Saturday and Sunday, 25th and 26th June
Railgrinding work between King’s Cross and Vauxhall
No service between Brixton and Highbury & Islington.
Only info given:
Saturday and Sunday, 19th and 20th March
Engineering work between Brixton and Walthamstow Central and Station Modernisation work Seven Sisters, Oxford Circus, Victoria, Stockwell and Euston
No service throughout the line.
