The stocks are: A Stock on the Metropolitan and East London Lines, C Stock on the Hammersmith and City, Circle and District (Edgware Road - Wimbledon branch) Lines and D Stock on the remainder of the District Line.
The stocks are: 1967 stock on the Victoria Line, 1972 stock on the Bakerloo Line, 1973 stock on the Piccadilly Line, 1992 stock on the Central and Waterloo and City Lines, 1995 stock on the Northern Line and 1996 stock on the Jubilee Line.

  London Underground - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Stock on sub-surface lines is identified by a letter (such as A Stock, used on the Metropolitan Line), while tube stock is identified by the year in which it was designed (for example, 1996 Stock, used on the Jubilee Line).
Two types of stock are currently being developed — 2005 Stock for the Victoria Line and S stock for the sub-surface lines, with the Metropolitan Line A Stock being replaced first.
Most platforms at deep tube stations have pits beneath the track, originally constructed to aid drainage of water from the platforms, but they also help prevent death or serious injury when a passenger falls or jumps in front of a train[3].

 1973 Tube Stock   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
The 1973 Stock is not provided with universal couplers, so units which become turned so that 'A' cars face east instead of west, cannot be coupled to units facing the right way round.
Although the 1973 Tube Stock cab arrangement was developed from the 1972 and C Stock designs, with the desk having air and speedo gauges in the centre and the combined traction/brake controller on the left, there was a significant new development installed to assist drivers with failures.
The 1973 Stock is equipped with DC traction motors using a single, pneumatically driven camshaft for resistance control.

Tube gauge cars are 750mm (2 ft 6 in) lower in height than surface stock, with a floor height above rail level of 610mm (2 ft) compared with 980mm (3 ft 3 in) on surface stock.
The doors on 1992 tube stock trains are wider than on other trains on the Underground to allow speedier entry and exit for passengers, and are mounted on the outside of the trains to provide more internal space.
The two distinguishing features of D stock trains are the four wide single-leaf doors, as on Jubilee Line trains, and the tube stock size wheels introduced as a first stop towards providing greater standardisation.

 D Stock
The D Stock was introduced into passenger service in January 1980 and is the principal stock used for services on the District Line.
The D Stock is basically a surface stock version of the Piccadilly Line's 1973 Tube Stock.
The good performance is partly a result of the age of the stock, now 20 years, which is considered mature, partly because it is well understood by the operators and maintainers and partly because it has had a number of modifications to get better reliability.

 Underground Stories
When the 1973 Tube Stock was first built, the batteries provided were 4 x 12 volt heavy duty types like those used in buses.
However, the appearance of this failure against against a 1973 Stock train was invariably followed by a note which said "removed by persons unknown".
Eventually, common sense prevailed and all the original 1973 Tube Stock batteries (the ones which were left anyway) were replaced by the traditional 24 volt traction batteries.

Most platforms at deep tube stations have pits beneath the track, originally constructed to aid drainage of water from the platforms, but they also help prevent death or serious injury when a passenger falls or jumps in front of a train[2].
In summer, temperatures on parts of the Underground can become very uncomfortable due to its deep and poorly ventilated tube tunnels: temperatures as high as 47°C were reported in the 2006 European heat wave [6].
The original maps were often street-maps with the location of the lines superimposed, and the stylised Tube map evolved from a design[12] by electrical engineer Harry Beck in 1931.

It was the first stock on the Underground to do away with the Westinghouse Automatic Brake: it has no brake pipe, instead it has a "round-train safety circuit" which is connected to things such as the tripcock, deadman device, control governer, et cetera.
The refurbishment of the 1973 stock incorporated the first example of an entirely re-thought means of providing an emergency exit via the front and/or rear of Underground trains.
The refurbished 1973 stock has a ladder with handrails which is integral to the cab-front, with the steps sliding under the cab floor and the handrails folding up against the front of the train; passengers can now be led directly out of the train with a handrail to hold on to.

Also the most comfortable stock on the Tube, the A stock was given a new lease of life when the fleet was comprehensively refurbished during the early-to-mid 90's, and it is expected to last until well into the new century.
The prototypes for the next generation of Tube stock, which was to replace the pre-1938 stock on the Piccadilly and Central Lines, were the three 1956 stock trains, which spent the first half of their lives on the Piccadilly Line and the second half on the Northern.
The Mark II stock was gradually made suitable for one-person-operation during the period in which it was transferred to the Bakerloo and the most noticeable visual difference was the introduction of a liquid-crystal train number display.
