Is it zero, because tube stock is not classified as 'carriages'?

1992 (Central) | 87,5 | 8

Erm, with the numbers you've given, with the typos on Central and W&C sorted, and Island Line discounted as it's nothing to do with London, the sums add up to 4,613

I actually make it 4,886 ... not quite what I guessed, but near enough, I think?

If everyone is happy, I'll offer you these questions, based around things that happened "On This Day":
1. In 1880, which European Cathedral was completed, having been started in 1248?
2. Which competition first took place in Folkestone in 1908?
3. Which American actor, comedian, writer, producer and musician was born in 1945?
4. Whose international cricketing career came to an end in 1948 - and what was allegedly the cause of his dismissal whilst batting?
5. What was outlawed by the passing of which Act in 1967?
6. Which Northern Irish Ryder Cup Captain was born in 1968?

Best of luck!

Well, thanks for the information. Which typos do you mean exactly? And if I remember correctly, I asked about London Underground carreages. Not specifically about trains running on the LU. So the Island line should be certainly included as the Class 484 are former D78 trains. Just my thoughts.

On a point of order, if you're including the 484s you should include the 230s as well.
