A film about the London Transport / London Underground C Stock trains which were built in the 1970s and made their final passenger journey in 2014.
This was the second fleet of C Stock trains on London's Underground railway - the first fleet were built by the District Railway in 1910 and largely withdrawn from passenger service after WW2, although a few examples lasted longer as service stock trains.
The 1970/71 C69 trains were built for the Metropolitan line's Hammersmith & City service plus the Circle line and the 1977 C77 trains were built for the District line's Edgware Road - Wimbledon service. Whilst there were some differences between them both batches of these trains were fully compatible with each other and frequently ran in mixed formation.
This also film includes many internal views - in their original format with largely 'semi-compartment' seating, the two experimental refurbished cars and in their final form with wholly longitudinal seating.
Not every location where footage was obtained is identified in the film, these include: Hammersmith (Met), Paddington (District Circle), Edgware Road (Sub Surface) Aldgate, Barking (window view whilst riding past in a C2C Electrostar) Fulham Broadway (before rebuilding), Gloucester Road (during rebuilding), Wimbledon Park, Putney Bridge, Upminster Depot Open Day, Hornchurch. Most lineside views were taken between Wimbledon and East Putney.
Sorry but not included are any of the special advertising liveries. I do not have any photos of them.

In our childhood we used to visit our nana in London quite regularly by train. First we get on the a60 Metropolitan from Watford where we used to live, then change for the c69/c77 from Baker Street on the circle line. I have fond memories of our child hood on the old Circle line trains. I remember sitting at the far end near the drivers cab door, you’d be virtually sitting on top of the bogey with the traction motor. Me and my brother used to love sitting in the motorcar for that purpose listening to that unique sound of the C69/C77. Me and my brother nicknamed those trains “The aah train” because they kind of sounded like human voices in Harmony like a choir so we used to go aaaaaah with the motors as it accelerated from the station, we must of had some stares from people 🤣 Thank you for making this well put together film of the classic C stock trains.

Oh, my beloved C stock! I got so excited when I saw the thumbnail, and I enjoyed every second of this beautiful video. These were my favourite subsurface stock, no doubt about it! So aesthetic with those two little headlights reminding the deep-level 1967 stock and variants, the rounded ceiling perfectly combined with a rather more squared car body and with delightful sound, specially the doors opening or closing. S stock, well is also nice, but doesn’t have the same charm as the C stock had… I understand trains were almost 44 years old when retired, and that LU wanted to standardise the subsurface fleet, but London did lost beautiful trains back in 2014! And in that matter, it really saddens me that no complete train set were preserved! So now, 6 years later after the last run, there are nothing more to say other than saying thanks to citytransportinfo for sharing with us his video memories of these remarkable machines!

The stated reasons include a lack of money to maintain the trains in working order and to build / afford a place to keep them. The A stock trains also had asbestos in them - which was seen as a problem and explained why none were allowed to be saved by private transport societies.

I hope that a C-Stock and D-Stock DM are preserved at the LTM. While I did travel on C-Stocks a few times, I was unfortunately too young to remember them well, me being just 9 at the time the last ones were removed from service. However what little memories of the C-Stocks that I do have are fond, as are my more recent and fresh memories of the D-Stock.

It didn’t operate on the metropolitan line the A stock did. And it’s not identified as a District Line train simply because of how rare it actually was for it to actually operate on it. The C stock was built specifically for the Circle Line which is why its interior was yellow. Though it was also added to the Hammersmith and City line as well. It was only added a small part of the District Line for when the D Stock was ever out of service/not working. Same case with the Metropolitan Line and the A Stock. It was only added to the Metropolitan Line when the A Stock was out of service/not working.

@@ChoobChoob Interesting thought, but...the question is: who would want subway cars built like the ones for New York? Because they're super-heavyweights, and they're constructed like battleships. The St. Louis Car Company, who built the 400 R-42 subway cars, wasn't known for licensing its technology to other countries, unlike Budd and Pullman-Standard, who did. Nor did St. Louis have any interest in foreign designs - I doubt they would have gone to Europe for ideas. Their products simply did not reflect that. Maybe someone at the NYCTA communicated with someone at LU, and shared design drawings. In fact, I recall reading that the Chairman of the NYCTA (whose last name was Ronan) went to London to inspect the new trains for the Victoria line at the time it opened, or right before. So maybe the two systems did compare designs for their trains in the late 60's/early 70s.

I'm assuming that the Wimbledon to Edgware Road route, was severely disrupted or weekend engineering works going on and so it was diverted to go to either Richmond or Ealing Broadway, hence why it was serving at Barons Court. It did serve other parts of the District Line when needed but on rare occasions.

I think the Jubilee line 1996 tube stock trains are capable of 75mph but there are no journeys long enough to let them reach that speed. They often travel quite fast when going from West Ham to Canning Town. Technically the A, C, D and S stock trains were / are not tube trains because they would not fit in the small profile deep level tube train tunnels. Instead they are Subsurface trains, as most of the tunnels they use(d) were dug as cut'n'cover tunnels just below the surface, and were on routes originally used by steam trains.

So in the UK, they don't require "Oversize load" signs on lorries (or trucks as we call them in America) even if they're carrying something as big as a train carriage?

I am not an expert on the laws but I think they do - and sometimes a police escort is needed too, but given that they are built to be suitable for tunnels London Underground train cars are not 'exceptionally' large.

You make an very interesting comment, because (at times) I also felt that way. I think its partly because the S stock trains are quieter, and also because the S stock had their performance capped - although that was only a short-term measure until the routes they serve are converted to fully automated operation. I wish I had used a stop watch on a C stock train so that I could now compare it was an S stock train - for instance from Stepney Green to Mile End, where trains often travel faster.

The S stock are faster overall, despite being performance limited in acceleration, however the C stock were quicker off the mark. The real difference starts to kick in over 30mph. Also the brakes on the S stock are much more responsive

The C stock, along with it's little brother, the 72 Tube Stock, were the crappiest trains to drive. A little drop of rain, and the wheels spun up, and caused the motors to 'drop out'. The brakes would easily lock up in the wet, causing 'flats' on the wheels, and the rheostatic brake only worked if it wanted to. The ride on these trains, in comparison to older and newer stock, was atrocious. I hated working on these with a vengeance when I was on the District line. The later D stock was FAR superior in every way, and was a pleasure to drive. Even the much older CO/CP and R stocks were nicer to drive than this crap.

Agree with the 72s only ever did gd/mm training on CStock. With 72s on the northern on a wet days I’d often use the westy in the wet, Wheelspin seemed worst at East Putney on the Westbound. One of the good things about opo for me was being displaced to Morden
