	London Underground 1959 Stock - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The 1956 and 1959 Tube Stock were types of London Underground tube train built by Metro-Cammell, operated at various times on the Northern Line, Bakerloo Line, Central Line and Piccadilly Line.
		Planning for the stock began in the late 1940s, as the Standard (pre-1938) stock running on the Central and Piccadily Lines was approaching thirty years old and becoming due for replacement.
		Withdrawal of the 1959 Stock was a drawn-out affair, and when the last example was withdrawn on 27 January 2000, it was the only remaining tube train to be crewed with a motorman and a guard.

	London Underground 1962 Stock - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The 1962 Tube Stock is a type of London Underground tube train, which was built by Birmingham RCandW for use on the Central Line.
		These units were virtually identical to the earlier 1959 Stock units, which were built for the Piccadilly Line.
		The latter was opted for and replacement came in the form of the new 1992 Stock, which was developed from the prototype 1986 Stock.

		Fig 2: London Underground tube stock and the larger surface stock at Rayners Lane.
		The 1959 Tube Stock was withdrawn from the Northern Line in January 2000 after almost 40 years of operation (with its sister stock the 1962 Stock) at various times on the Central, Piccadilly, Bakerloo and Northern Lines.
		An innovation on the D Stock was the introduction of automatic flow cut-off valves at the car ends and the duplication of the inter-car connecting pipes which combine to prevent the loss of pressure in one pipe from disabling the train.

	London Underground R Stock - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The R38 and R49 Stock was built for the District Line in 1938 and 1952 respectively.
		The R38 stock was rebuilt from war damaged Q38 stock in 1950, whilst the R49 stock were built new, and were the first London Underground trains built with the traditional aluminium finish.
		The final units were withdrawn in 1983, after they were replaced by the new D78 Stock.

		Later that year all remaining 1959 stock on the Bakerloo was replaced by 1972 Mark II stock, and returned to the Northern Line.
		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 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.

		The upshot of this was that a total of 31 trains of 1959 stock operated the Bakerloo Line between 1983 and 1989, forming the complete stock allocation for that line from 21 November 1985 until some point after April 1986.
		A programme of further modifications to the new 1995 stock trains meant that there would not be reliably enough to provide the full service the while, and this gave 1959 stock (and the last few Guards) a little breathing space until January 2000.
		Not a single car of ordinary "silver" 1959 stock has been kept on the Underground (unlike the 1962 stock, of which a score of cars operates in the engineering fleet); however, former Northern Line regular traveller Mike Kelly acquired DM 1304 and had begun restoring it to mid-life condition in a Herefordshire garden.

		Unit 1031 was a stalwart of the fleet: only four of the 152 units of 1959 stock outlasted it, and they were all built later too!.
		1959 tube stock was made from two units, one being a 3-car, the other a 4-car; the rear unit (seen here) is the 3-car "half" of the Heritage train, and is formed of 1030-2030-1031 (1030 nearest camera).

		London Transport had planned to replace the standard stock on the Central Line with a new design, the 1960 Stock.
		The 1959 stock was then returned to the Piccadilly Line less the 57 NDMs that were incorporated into the 1962 Stock fleet.
		Following deliveries of the 1973 Stock the 1959 Stock was transferred to the Northern Line, allowing the first withdrawals of 1938 Stock in the mid 1970s.

		Greater London is home to some 8 million people and apart from the London Underground, a dense network of commuter railways (former Network SouthEast) is operated by several private companies like Connex, Thameslink or First, especially in the south of the city.
		Most of today's underground lines were built in the first half of the 20th century in deep level tube tunnels within the central area of London and extended above ground through the suburbs.
		In South London, around Croydon, a modern tram network was built which runs on street level in downtown Croydon and on old BR rail alignments on outer routes.

	CULG - East London Line
		The East London Line is the only LU line that was planned and built as a main-line railway, but its history goes much further back than that.
		The Underground companies, and later LU, never served Liverpool Street from the East London Line, as the through service had ended at electrification, but regular goods traffic came from there until 1962 and occasional passenger services were to run until 1966 when the link was severed.
		The line is currently operated by 4-car A stock trains (using units with both cabs equipped); these are part of the Metropolitan Line fleet and exchanged with that line on a regular basis.

		The 1992 Stock was built by BREL (British Rail Engineering Ltd) in Yorkshire (either Doncaster or Sheffield, I forget) and the 1995 and 1996 stocks were built by GEC Alsthom in Birmingham, who bought Metro-Camell a few years back.

		The Underground expanded massively during the 1920s and 1930s, and in addition to new stations being built, 35 existing stations were modernised and 16 improved.
		The 'classic' style of Underground architecture is characterised by exposed brickwork and concrete using clean, simple forms, such as cylinders, curves and rectangles.
		The 1956 Routemaster bus and the 1938 Tube stock exemplify the aims of the London Transport style - high quality recognisable design that is both attractive and functional and the use of new materials that are easy to clean and maintain.

		In November 2001, London Underground announced that Covent Garden station was to be exit-only between 1300 and 1700 on Saturday afternoons because the number of customers using it had risen to the dangerous level of 70000 per Saturday.
		In June 1999, London Underground stated that the route to Wimbledon might be too busy for more than 4tph (trains per hour), although the route to Clapham Junction would be able to handle 6 extra trains per hour: this made Clapham Junction (temporarily) the favoured option.
		In October 2001, London Underground anticipated that a concession would be awarded for a period of up to 30 years, and the successful private sector bidder would have to invest about £600m to build and maintain the infrastructure.

		The A Stocks; they are the oldest and the last of the "old-school" of Underground Train with pure Electro-Pneumatic Brakes (no Rheostatic = whining noise when braking) and a separate Brake and Motor handle for the driver.
		One thing I love about the London Underground though over other underground rail networks is the luxury of padded seats - on the commute to and from work, it is the most welcoming thing and beats metal/plastic seats anyday; the Central Line seats tend to be the best of all in my opinion.
		Strangely the stock was never used on the Piccadilly Line; 1972 MkI were built for the Northern Line but only 20 or so entered service before money ran out and so roughly 1/4 of Northern Line Trains pre-1995 Stock were 1972's and the remainder were 1959's.
