I remember, when I was a little kid, and my parents would take me into London to go to the Science Museum, or something, we used to go on the Northern line from Waterloo to Embankment and then change for the District/Circle. I didn't know anything about the types of trains, or the difference between deep level and sub surface, but I always wanted to get the "one door" trains. They were something different to me. Sad to see them go.

Notice the D-Stock cab's moquette, it's the old Waterloo & City moquette from the 1992 Stock prior to Barman, there were also a few units that had the same moquette as the 1967 stock when they were refurbished, whilst others had the standard D-Stock moquette, and they were quite often mixed up. I believe the C-Stock also had some of these moquettes in the cab.

When you call the Trains on the District line D78 Stock. You reminded me of trips from my Nan and Grandad's in the early 80's. When being taken back home to East Ham from Plaistow where my Grandparents lived. My Nan would not want to get a new White train (D78 Stock) until a Red one came along. Sadly she died in 2011 so she never got to see the end of the White trains.
@SoiBuakhaoRoutemasterbus5 жыл бұрын
The red ones were the CO/CP stock, new in 1938 on the Met & Circle lines and transfered to the District to replace the Q Stock. I also lived in East Ham and as well as the CPs there were R Stock some were unpainted ally but most were painted white/off grey. Both types looked quite smart with their flared bodysides, a 3 car CO/CP survives in preservation at Quainton Road should you wish to see one in the flesh!

I remember those red District Line trains. They didn't have the door opening buttons and they didn't hiss like a snake, when the doors opened. Those door opening buttons that used to be in the D Stock trains used to confuse people who didn't use the District Line on a regular basis. I've seen a couple of tourists sprinting up the inside of a carriage, because only the door at the other end opened.

James Dunn: The only diesel services entirely within London now are the Greenford/Ealing shuttle, and the Barking - Gospel Oak line, which is waiting for its new electric trains to be ready. Diesel services are still quite common in other cities, and on some outer suburban services in London (although Chiltern, Wales, and East Midland are the only all-diesel franchises left).

@@jamesdunn1507 We are beginning to remove the crazy situation of running Diesel trains over electrified lines. We still have the excellent BR Class 159 Diesel trains used on the London Waterloo to Exeter services (runs over 3rd rail from London Waterloo to Worting Junction, just outside of Basingstoke). At Worting Junction the line from London divides, the line to Weymouth via Southampton is all 3rd rail electriied now while the line to Exeter via Salisbury is not electrified, hence the need to use the Diesel Class 159. When the replacement for the Diesel loco hauled trains (Class 50, Class 47) that served Exeter was being considered I believe that bi mode Diesel & Electric traction was considered since part of the route was electrified but, as is the case for the Class 205 / 207 `Thumpers', the additional complication was not thought worth it in those less `green' times.

Another great Vid! Personally, I did not really like the looks of the D-Stock single sliding door.
