Another RLH arriving
A second RLH came to join the fray of buses at the depot, this one retaining its original destination blinds from when it was on Route 248.

London Underground track
At the very front of the depot was a labelled real-life diagram of the four-rail track configuration used on the London Underground network. The leftmost rail and penultimate rail on the right are the running rails whilst the penultimate rail from the left and rightmost rail are the positive and negative supply rails, where the electrical current from the underside of the train feeds into and powers the train along. View taken looking east-southeast, with the bus stand and car park in the background.

1938 Northern Line Train
This is a 1938 Northern line train, which ran on that line between 1938 and 1988, so had a career of exactly 50 years! The last day in regular passenger service was 19 May 1988 - a small sign in one of the windows of the train confirms this! I don't think the train 'lives' here however - I think it belongs at Acton Town depot where the London Transport Museum stores some of its stock. It's only here for a special non-stop run on Friday night from Upminster to Ealing Broadway. Just a shame the journey takes place at night - meaning that all you'd see out of the train windows, whether underground or not, is pitch blackness. For this reason, I don't think it's really worth the money and effort in going, but I suppose if you really want to experience being on a 1938 train, then go for it! On the right is a C stock train, now used mostly on the Circle and Hammersmith and City lines, but also still used on the Wimbledon branch of the District line. View taken looking west.

Side view of the 1938 train
This is a side view of the 1938 Northern line train, with carriage 10012 in view. Note the "No Smoking" sign on the window, which would've been installed in 1987 (only a year before the train retired from regular passenger service) after the King's Cross fire. View taking looking south.

View inside the 1938 train
This is a view inside the 1938 train, showing some major differences between this and modern tube stock. The lights above the seats are installed pointing outwards instead of being flat against the carriage wall, the seating is both longitudinal and transverse (these days it's either one or the other, but mostly longitudinal) and much more comfortable (these seats are squashy and roomy, but the ones on modern tube stock are very hard and cramped). Note the grab handles are a much older design and are, I feel, of a more classy design than the ones on modern stock (they are just simple door handle shapes). The floor is also wooden, whereas on modern stock the floor is tiled. View taken looking south.

Card on the window of the 1938 stock
This is the card that made me know the exact career of the 1938 train on regular passenger service on the Northern line. I think it's pretty self-explanatory!

The rest of the trains in the train shed
The only other trains in the shed apart from the 1938 train (and a battery locomotive just behind it) is a C stock train on the extreme left (mentioned in Image) and four modern refurbished District line (D stock) trains on the right. These trains are made of aluminium and thus were originally silver with a red stripe on the cab. However, between 2005 and 2008 the entire fleet was painted in London Underground's red, white and blue livery and the interior was completely refurbished. More details can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D_Stock. According to Wikipedia, the last "silver" train on the District line was taken out of service on 15 February 2008.
