Can someone please confirm what Friday 29th June marks the end of please, Is it the end of all A stock operation or off peak operations or neither? Thanks That seems to be the question, which noone knows the definitive answer to at the moment. According to the "always reliable" Wikipedia page though, it states that unconfirmed reports suggest that Friday 29. June will be the end of all regular A Stock operations, which could quite well be the case with almost all the S Stocks now having been delivered. If anyone does know precisely what's going on, then please could they let us all know!. MTIA and Best Wishes Green Lion. |

The depot have not been made aware of any formal end to A-stock operations, so what's fit for use and in date for maintenance, from both the old and new fleets, will be offered for service.
On the same basis, there's no reason why A-stock will not continue to be used on all day services. The pattern has been that, subject to units not failing, they get withdrawn a couple of days before disposal for stripping, and can run on any path until then.
There's a desire to stop A-stock operation asap, and a preference to not offer A-stock during the Olympics, but it's nothing more concrete than that.

The overnight delivery is a 7 car S stock It was an S8 instead According to Bob P. on the relevant thread of this forum, it was 21087-21088. The next couple of S7s deliveries may well have the 8th cars for sets 21035-21036 and 21059-21060 in them, to bring them up to S8s. Car 23045 was delivered with S7 train 21305-21306. Thanks to the poster re: the clarification of this Friday. Although it's not an official end to A Stock operation per se, with their numbers getting less each week, it won't be long before they become extremely hard to find. Best Wishes to all Green Lion. |
