Hi. I'm after my last few Underground units for haulage (Excluding Central line). I've looked on the last 6 pages and checked on intertube.

Bakerloo 3245, 3260,3532 and 3556 I believe these are long term out of service ?
[...]
Yes, 3245, 3260, 3532 are now stopped.

3253, 3247, 3533, 3540 stopped
3267, 3534, 3543 expected to be back in mid-August (but as we know TfL, everything is delayed....)
Thank you, im guessing this might be the same outcome for 3233, 3251, 3536, 3544, 3551 & 3554 aswell (likely to be sent for refurbishment?) Also is anyone aware of which Bakerloo Line Train 2 is being fitted with PIS or is this topic not able to be answered in this thread?

3233 - will be back in the next couple of days if all goes to plan (!!!)
3554 - expected in mid-August
3551 - short-term stopped (may already be back in service?)
3544 - will be back after RVAR mods
3251, 3536 - stopped

I don't see a 2nd PIS train being done at the moment.

Thanks again, 3551 isn’t back yet but the bakerloo has been experiencing daily train cancellations lately with the rush hour service peaking 23/24 trains..

Edit: 3551 & 3233 returned today with RVAR mods and the interior map has been updated showing Lioness line interchanges at Queens Park, Willesden Junction, Harrow & Wealdstone & Mildmay Line interchange at Willesden Junction.

In London tomorrow with some free time. Just wondering if the following units are likely to be out and about (will check on Intertube on the day), or are out of service:
  • 1973 Stock:
    • 115
    • 242
    • 870
    • 892
  • 2009 Stock:
    • 11086

Remember, there is a large engineering closure on the Pic tomorrow, so lots of trains will be sitting in depots.

None are long term stopped - obviously weekend requirements on all lines are less than the weekdays, and there's the aforementioned Picc closure, but you've certainly got a chance of finding them all. Worth also looking for 11085 on the Vic, as the sets are effectively permanently coupled.

Thanks - aware of the Vic situation, just wish a magic wand could wave over the Picc and allow historic search for leading vehicles if you don't know the pairing!

115 - 146
242 - 223
871 - 222
892 - 191

...accurate as of today, but obviously things could change overnight.

I'll check for 242's pair again later, I don't have full access to the TAS at the moment.

Have a look at intertube the day before. Failing that, a WTT and a deckchair at somewhere like Acton town or Hammersmith. I was lucky. A few months ago my last three available sets were all heading east with just a few minutes between all of them.

Deckchair not particularly an option given my plans, and Intertube can be tricky on a phone screen.

It takes a bit of time, but if you scroll down each individual train on Intertube to the point at which it last reversed, you will see what the unit on the other end is.

There’s a few of us who are still happy to use our sometimes quicker and often easier tools to find things though! Think of this as the LU version of the TOPS request thread haha

I know - can just be faff on the phone. Anyway, @bluegoblin7 has given me what I need for today’s travels.

Is bakerloo 3260/3532 long term stopped or is there any return-to-service date? Also 3562 & 3256?

None of the 72TS are permanently stopped, although I don't have any information to hand as to why (I can try and check next week).

234 has not been stood down, although again I don't currently have access to whether it is stopped I'm afraid.
