Afternoon all,
Just a query out of interest, I've been a regular traveller on the Victoria Line for quite a few years now, and have recorded which set I travel on. Over time I started to stagger my journeys to ensure I travel on a "winner", and got down to one set, 11033/34 a fair few months ago. However, I've not even seen that set, let alone travel on it, despite many trips, and dare I say, many extended waits!
I believe one set is out of traffic on depot awaiting parts, and wondered if there was a connection here. If anyone can shed some light on this, please do let me know. If nothing else, I'll get to the pub a bit quicker in the evenings!
Thanks.

This train is indeed in the depot stopped and awaiting parts. It has been stopped since 26/06/17 with estimated release date of 31/03/18.

A modern train stopped for 9 months is most unusual. What parts?

Perhaps its being cannabalised to keep the rest of the fleet going rather than having several units stopped waiting different parts?

I'm doing something similar, I've ridden all 09 Stock units over the past year, but I want them all logged on my Railmiles, I still need 11033/34, but I've not seen it at all this year
Has it actually returned into traffic?

It's still stopped as of today, with estimated release date for the 16/06/18. Are you able to comment on which parts its waiting for? Surprisingly all the missing/borrowed components are now back on the unit. All that remains is various post maintenance testing and depending on the outcome it might hit the release date or be pushed back. EDIT: 18/06/18 Train now awaits to be signed off as being fit for service by engineering e.g. paperwork so estimated release date is now 30/06/18

Managed to see it by chance on my way home, I live in Pimlico, so a quick leap back to Victoria on it was required!
