Thanks,looks like another visit to London soon this set seems to be out of service alot.
I have had 4 sessions at Acton Town for a couple of hours each time just needing this one set!
It is just for sight,could you suggest a central London station where you can see both directions
Thanks
Not sure that would help Tony Mason’s request to find Piccadilly 1973 Stock 186.but personally if it was me I'd use the London end of White City if it's just for sight.
Oops, sorry - you're right; for some reason I was thinking of the Central!!!Not sure that would help Tony Mason’s request to find Piccadilly 1973 Stock 186.
Don't worry - just found it...I have an unexpected couple of hours to spare... Is anyone aware if Met Line 21039/40 is out please?
Hello186 didn’t form part of the AM service today, if I remember I’ll check back in a few hours for the PM service.
Hello
Just off to London yet again after the elusive 186/586/386 .
Would it be possible to confirm if this set is in service today any help would be very much appreciated
Jubilee Line. units 96016, 96022, 96108. Are they all available for service as will be spending time at West Hampstead on Friday to see if i can clear them.
186 appears to be on train 233 today 4 March. This stables at Cockfosters at 20:58, assuming it is not reformed.
Sorry this is late, but 96016 is out today. It started on train 365, but now reformed to 356 which stables at Stratford at 01:13 unless further reformed. No sign of the other two today though...
I had to leave London early so missed 186 many thanks for your reply,I will get the set one day!186 appears to be on train 233 today 4 March. This stables at Cockfosters at 20:58, assuming it is not reformed.

Thanks,will try Baron's Court on my next London visit & possibly check if there's any information of it being in service on the day I go
Are we any nearer to 91341 returning to service on the Central Line please?
I understand that the project to restore 91341 to service is making progress, but still a fair way from finished - still expected to be later this year though.
Thank you. Perhaps I should concentrate on snapping my few required 1973 Stock DMs first, then...I understand that the project to restore 91341 to service is making progress, but still a fair way from finished - still expected to be later this year though.
Hello all does anybody know if Bakerloo Line 3246 is currently operational at the moment its my last one for haulage. I've tried to find it on several occasions is it just a case of me being unlucky or is it currently out of use? Any information on recent sightings would be a great help. I will be back in London 15th of June so if its serviceable I will have another try! Thanks in advance.
Well this thread was a surprise find, I didn't see it until today somehow.
What's going on with 91341? I just checked my notes and I see I have it down as required for both sight and haulage.
Brilliant thank you.3246 is working Train 236 today...
As far as I understand 91341 had some specific prototype modifications some years ago, that were not applied across the rest of the fleet, but were not reversed on 91341 making it somewhat non standard. At some point its cab was decommissioned and some of the equipment removed, so 91341 was relegated to use only as an inside unit (as if it were a non cab unit). This was possible as the 1992 stock fleet had 5 more cab cars than are needed for 85 eight car trains (each of which are 4 two car units), so 5 of the trains would usually have one (or very occasionally two) inner cabs. At some point other equipment was removed and 91341 became a 'long term stopped' unit (possibly as long ago as 2016).
The timetable will change next year to allow for trains to be taken out of service for fitting AC traction and this timetable will require more leading cabs to be available. Hence the project to refit the missing equipment and return 91341 to service with an active cab. Some of the missing components are presumably 1990s electronics that now have to be manufactured as one off bespoke items and hence have (very) long lead times.
Is Jubilee line 96108 in traffic as not seen on my last 3 visits.
Many thanks for that at least i can go hunting again in a few weeks.96108 is working train 356 so far to day. It is on its way to Stratford and assuming it isn't reformed (in other words it sticks to its diagram) it will then form the 1443 departure to Stanmore, 1548 back to Stratford, 1651 to Wembley Park, 1755 to Stratford, 1846 to Stanmore, 1955 to Stratford, 2055 to Stanmore, 2200 to Stratford, 2304 to Stanmore then empty to Neasden and stable...
