Is bakerloo 3260/3532 long term stopped or is there any return-to-service date? Also 3562 & 3256?
My intel dates from July 2025. So at that time, 3260/3532 had motor issues.
3562 at that time was undergoing bogie overhaul (it should be back in service now according to the plan...). 3256 stopped with no reason stated.

Maybe someone else has more up-to-date info.

Rail Adhesion Train, along with 731 - both now out daily. I don’t have the numbers of which is at which end to hand, but each is operated by a single three-card double-ender.

Ahh thanks, seems to me that TfL is still delayed, 3562 hasn’t returned to service, same as 3554, 3543, 3267 which was meant to return in August (Also 3544 which I believe may have been stopped now unless it’s getting a bogie overhaul)

Any ideas of any of these 72TS sets are long term stopped?
3245 is stopped for Programmed lift - due back in December
3247 is stopped with a significant fault - again due back in December
3260 has been stopped long term as a test unit for a variety of modifications including a new Passenger Information System - due back at the start of December
3540 is also stopped for Programmed lift - due back at the end of October
3544 programmed lift as above end of December

Please take these expected return to service dates as best guesses!

The other units are not stopped. 3246 is working train 227 today, 3256 is train 243, 3262 and 3560 are both train 224, 3531 is train 207 and finally 3550 train 221...

As for 3411 - I was involved in a project about a decade ago that would have seen that brought out of long term storage and returned to service as part of a project to create two additional Bakerloo line sets from largely ex-Victoria line 1972 Mark 1 stock. But it was not to be... Whether is still extant I'm not sure it was parked long term on the Trotwood (West) side of Hainault depot and may be this vehicle shown on Google Maps: 3411? Equally, it is possible that it is no longer extant!

1972 mk1 unit 3411/4511/3511 was withdrawn on 02/09/99 with car 3511 being scrapped on 03/03/14. Car 4511 went to Acton Works (for conversion to part of the Asset Train on 18/10/18 I believe, from Golders Green Depot via Ruislip and Hainault Depots iirc), car 3411 was finally scrapped on 03/07/21.

Thanks for the update on 3411 - I did vaguely think I had heard it had been removed for scrap. I don't know whether its ghost still lingers on Google Earth, the copyright date of images is not always an indication of when the image was taken, but possibly the vehicles now shown are not 3411/4511/3511, but some of the 1962TS pilot or sandite fleet.

All of the cars visible around the rear of Hainault Depot on Google Maps are 1959/62TS, identifiable as such by their windows when in the 3D view. The car furthest from the buffers in the more northerly siding is in the white / blue livery applied to the Rail Adhesion Trains, presumably this is former sandite car 9459 which was withdrawn and replaced with a former spare in 2015. The other two are silver Driving Motors with their cabs facing, while in the other siding appears to be ex-Cravens Heritage Trains 4-car 1962TS unit 1506, more recently sold back to LU for parts. As these cars are split from each other the imagery may have been taken not long before that unit was removed from Hainault?

Back to 1972TS unit 3511, I have both 3411 and 4511 listed as taken by road to Acton Works in October 2018 (can't guarantee this is correct however), and 3511 at some point being scrapped with part of its cab front being used to repair a Bakerloo line car.

51560.

Northern line units are fixed formation*

(*Aside from the handful that have been altered over the years)

Thank you for the info and completing my notes. My eyes were certainly not in a fixed formation last night. :D

Can't see it on Intertube, but there's a couple of even numbered leading sets just come out of Northfield but which haven't yet reversed anywhere so I can't see what's on the other end... I'd suggest keeping an eye on Intertube every half hour or so.
