We took a trip out on the Wimbleware branch yesterday to check up on the progress of the roll-out of the S-Stock to the line. It’s served by eight ‘C’ stocks normally, and so we made a note of how many were still being run by C’s and how many new S7’s we saw.
S7 at Fulham Broadway
Four is the answer … although we did spot a C Stock in the sidings at Parsons Green as well, which looked all fired up and ready to go if needed.
Which means that the days of the ‘C’ stock, really are getting close to being numbered! Any day now, there will be an announcement for a rail tour for the final run of these units, the S’s will be on the Edgware Road to Wimbledon line, which means they’ll then start to make an appearance on the rest of the District Line proper …
