A Metropolitan Line train of A60 stock approaches Harrow-on-the-Hill station with a service from Uxbridge. The weather has turned wet and I'm glad to have the shelter of the station footbridge above me. The buildings in the distance, behind the train, are located on College Road. The train is made up of A60 stock, soon to be replaced along with the Circle and District line trains by the new S stock - giving a standard fleet across Transport for London's surface lines. Built by Cravens, the A60 stock entered service in 1961 and is currently the oldest type in service on the London Underground. These units are also the fastest being capable of 70mph - though they are currently limited to 50mph.
