Looking for 96072

[47444]

Hi all,

This question was previously buried in my 'Looking for 96117/118' thread, but I fear it may get lost in there, so I've created a new thread for it.

Quotes from that thread [thanks towerman]:

"96072 is a long term stopped unit at SMD currently languishing at the back of 43rd in the lifting shop" and "072 unit is now out of the lifting shop and now coupled to 089 unit on 38 shed road".

96072 is now the last Jubilee unit that I need to travel on. I would be very grateful for any update on its return to service, or even (fingers crossed) any reports of it in service.

Many thanks

Colin

Thanks for the update, towerman. You've come through for me again! I'll be in London on Friday 13th, so will attempt to track down 72 then.
