Was it painted in a different livery (may be to advertise something or somebody) for the last few months of it's career?

 

[Peter Mugridge]

Very, very, very close.... it wasn't advertising anything.....

 

[DasLunatic]

Was it the only one to wear 'dinosaur' livery?

 

[HMS Ark Royal]

Was it the only one to wear 'dinosaur' livery?

It was wearing it BEFORE it left London...?

Last 38 stock to receive an EHO and last 38 stock to receive works attention before withdrawal

 

[Peter Mugridge]

Ebbw is still the closest - so close he has one foot on the floor... your more recent answers are getting colder again.

The livery wasn't advertising anything, it was commemorating something.... I can't give any more clue without giving the answer away!

 

[HMS Ark Royal]

Was it repainted into LT red?

 

[theageofthetra]

As they finally left LT service in 1988 which would have been their 50th anniversary was it painted in gold somewhere?

 

[Peter Mugridge]

Was it repainted into LT red?

Yes - 483 007 consists of two of the driving cars from the restored set that became known as the "Starlight Express" as a result of all the advertising space inside it being dedicated to that musical ( the restoration was a sponsorship deal ).

In relation to an earlier answer you gave, it did in fact form the last official public 1938 stock run twice, once each on the Bakerloo for the original withdrawal in 1985 and then again for the final withdrawal on the Northern in 1988 - so you very nearly got the answer earlier as well.

Three of the other five cars from that set are also still in use in the unit that does occasional heritage runs on the Underground.

Anyway - your floor.

Part of the Post Office underground railway has just been rebuilt, but I wouldn't call that part of the London Underground network.

Not that

 

[Whistler40145]

I've no idea.

Is it a short or long line?
