London Transport Museum Depot - Acton
The piece de resistance of the Underground from my boyhood to my late 30s, the beautiful 1938 stock, seen here in the London Transport Museum Depot - Acton, on 23rd September 2022. Well remembered from many days out with my cousin Peter on a Twin Rover ticket (5/- half price, two weeks' pocket money) in the school holidays (that I never wanted to end) in the 1960s. They were withdrawn in 1986, although one set was later reinstated for a further two years so the stock thus achieved a half century of service to Londoners. The lizard-green seats (if you could get one) were like armchairs, not like the paving stones we have to sit on nowadays.
