- A London Underground vid from 2006 now, showing D & C Stock at work at Wimbledon, Wimbledon Park and East Putney. The refurb D Stocks had started to appear but most were still in red front unpainted aluminium livery at this time. If you liked the video please subscribe to my channel, there are lots more transport & quirky vids to upload!
i used to go to and from school between parsons green and wimbledon between 2010-2015 so i never saw an unpainted d or c stock but for me its more interesting to see how the areas have changed in the past 15 years
I'm pleased to assist! I remember the D stock new, and even the C stock only a few years old. At East Ham they shone in the early 70s although i always enjoyed riding on the red CO/CP or while R Stock trains more.....
I truly miss the C & D Stocks
You meant the D&C stocks rather than C&D.
@@bigbreadeaterellis 何だいまのは？What was that?
@@besnikzogaj9887 I simply pointed out that the letters ( C&D) were back to front.
@@bigbreadeaterellis alright then
@@bigbreadeaterellis そうか！That's why!
The C Stock did the Wimbledon to Edgware road route as the platforms north of High Street Kensington were too short for the D Stock.
C Stock aslo did the Circle and Hammersmith and City lines.
And C Stock also worked to Wembley Park! At one time Neasden had a small number of C stock trains stabled there every night. I once had a storming run with one on the Met Main to Wembley Park, probably doing around 50mph!
I used to drive the C and D stocks. The C stock was great for trying to stop on the mark using the Westinghouse brakes! The D stock was my favourite though. Much more comfortable! Sadly left before the new stock came into service - I'd love to have had a go driving it!
I have driven all the surface stock (un-officially as a guard) from R stock through A, C and D stock. The A60s were brilliant, especially storming through Wembley Park at 70mph on a fast Amersham!
1:09 7093 is one of the ten D Stock driving motors serving on the Island Line today (in unit 484 005 with 7124).
Good to know, i have to get across there at some point and film them again.....
I came to london for the first time in dec 2007 just before the last of the unpainted d stock had disappeared. Sadly that makes it highly unlikely that I ever got to ride one in its more or less original condition but nevertheless I still had great memories of riding these spacious, stylish and rugged machines during my single digit years. The very last had gone by the time I was 11 after which we were left with those boring, unstable and uncomfortable s stock which have nothing special or unique to offer...
40 years ago I did this route when I worked in Upper Richmond road.
Do you remember the C stock train in Back the Bid livery? it had sadly gone by then.
No, sadly not...
Remember getting these unrefurbished trains in ma childhood
I remember these being introduced....and replacing the lovely old R and CO/CP stocks. They had real charachter and real big comfy seats!
@@SoiBuakhaoRoutemasterbus that prob was about 20 years before I was born
District Line C Tube Stock And District Line D78 Tube Stock
Well, they're not really tube stock, they are classed as Surface Stock. They are main line sized loading gauge and will not fit down tube tunnels like the Picc or Northern....
Amazing footage as always, miss the D, C and A stock's so much they remind me of my childhood, I hope I can ride on the bakerloo line 1972 stock before it too gets withdrawn.
You will be collecting an old age pension before those bloody awful units get withdrawn! They are going nowhere soon. The Picc will get the next lot of new trains and supposedy the Central next as the 92 stock is in bad shape so the Bakerloo will soldier on until the 2030s with the 72s!
@@SoiBuakhaoRoutemasterbus lol everywhere you hear about them 😂, I'm 22 though I shall say this, respect the 72's for at least being the last real classics cruisin around, you may think differently once they're out, Iove the NTFL's already though just look how far those originals have come, maybe not the same quality of even its earlier twins, though it certainly is authentic metro cammell, it's good to know they will be here through the 2030's, it will be like a heritage trip for everyone 😁
@@damienmanu117 I'll give you that, they are the last Westinghose brake fitted stock even if a One Armed Bandit (they have a Traction Brake Controller rather than a seperate brake & master controller).....but i still like the 73 better, more reliable stock than a 72....
@@SoiBuakhaoRoutemasterbus yes the 73's are indeed very good, though are a different thing from what they use to be, in a good way, the refurbishment took decades out of them, they feel much newer than they actually are, so is a completely different experience from the 72's and are indeed doing very well even now, months ago I would be heading to LHR every Friday after college in the last 2 years to see the Jetliners, so I'm very fond of the 73's and it's actually growing on me, I really like them, perfect mix of classic and modern 😊🌠🌟
Did you happen to film any rides on the d stock at this time? The interior must have felt like a time capsule with many old fixtures that had long since disappeared from other tube stock...
I never thought of doing that much back in those days, i did do a 59 stock ride on the Bakerloo Line, see it here ruclips.net/video/5kmRDeZOiSg/видео.html
@@SoiBuakhaoRoutemasterbus Thats fair enough but thanks for replying. Looking forward to seeing more mind blowing underground vids from the past...
It's a shame that no repainted D78 Stock is featured in the video, otherwise the C and D stock were both my great childhood and I remember riding the D78 Stock since it was unpainted
They had only just started the refurb programme at this point, i probably didn't see any, i think i would have at least filmed one or two for comparison....
Nice
Thanks....i still have more......
The C Stock was a riot. Very fun to ride on. Excellent noise as well, especially on some units.
They would bounce you out of your seat on a ast run at times. I remember going to Wembley Park on them back in the days some were stabled at Neasden Depot. Great for a fast run from Finchley Road!
was this videoed on a Sunday or M-F on the fringes of the peaks?
Between the peaks on a weekday. I finished up at Shoreditch to catch some A stock there before the line shut.
The d stock looks different
Unusual in that they only had single leaf doors although larger than the single leaf doors on other Underground stock.....
Good footage. I always wondered what the Wimbledon branch looked like.
Did you see John McEnroe there carrying his wooden racket by any chance??
I have the VHS of the drivers eye view of the Metropolitan and District lines narrated by Rob Curling. Fabulous video with illustrations of a pre refurbished C and D on the case.
I have never seen anyone famous on my travels on the Underground. This bit of line is actually owned by Network Rail and uses their signalling. The stations have been transfered to LT control though.
@@SoiBuakhaoRoutemasterbus that's interesting, so they give access for underground stock to give services?
They run the national railways?
Soi Buakhao I’ve seen former Newsnight host Evan Davis on the tube twice
@@hakc97again kewl!!
@@hakc97again I've never seen anyone famous i must admit.
heh heh..truly interesting here to be seeing for the first time! all those g l a r i n g alterations to them laughably-designed D stock..oo la
They were good trains. When they were new they certainly looked space age compared to the old R & CO/CP stocks they replaced. The lack of door width was never a problem in the past, with 4 big doors each car they were great at hoovering up passengers. The 'narrow doors' only came from London Underground when they wanted to get rid of them and needed an excuse having spent money refurb'ing them in the not too distant past!
