FINAL ‘D’ STOCK WITHDRAWN

April 21 was the last day that London Underground operated ‘D’ Stock in normal service, although two railtours were planned for subsequent weeks.

‘D’ Stock has operated on the District Line since 1980, but has now been fully replaced by new Bombardier-built ‘S7’ Stock.

Many of the driving cars have been acquired by Vivarail, however, for use in the Class 230 ‘D-Train’ conversion project.

On the last day, Nos. 7032 and 7007 stand at Barking working Train 004 from Upminster to Richmond.
