Image: © Robert Lamb Taken: 30 Aug 2009
This is an early A Stock unit in its original unpainted form, as it looked when introduced to the Metropolitan line in the 1960s. The D stock was originally in this form before the whole fleet was refurbished in 2005-8, albeit with a red stripe painted across the cab. Any Metropolitan line commuter will tell you how much these trains show their age, as they creak, squeak and rattle like there's no tomorrow!
