Do these numbers mean anything to anyone 
I was on my break at Ealing Broadway today, sitting on the District Line platform 8, and a D stock pulled in. My first initial thoughts were "ooo, its a refurb, I'll go sit in it for the remaining 5 mins of my break! ;D", however, slowly it came trundling in and the other half was a un-refurbished D!
I had a quick look inside, from the outside, and the refurb part (18008/17008/?008) seemed to only be part done, minus all the dot matrixes and all the fancy bits. The other half (17075/7075/8075) was un-refurbed and, like the refurb, had seats and god knows what, pulled up or missing.
There seemed to be no doors between the carriages, loads of equipment, power cables running through the whole thing, and loads of various people with hi-vis', in BOTH cabs at the same time. It came in for about 1 minute and went straight off.
At this point I hadn't a clue what it was. However, on my way back leaving Hammersmith on the Piccadilly, it quickly pulled in on platform 1, stopped and went off again. As it left, I saw cameras hanging off the back of it!
So is this maybe how they film the DEV's, or am I completely barking up the wrong tree!?
