London Underground C69 Stock
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
C Stock is the name given to the trains currently running on London Underground's Circle and Hammersmith and City lines as well as on the District Line between Edgware Road and Wimbledon. The trains are made up of six cars, and were delivered in two batches, known as C69 (1969-70) (35 trains) and C77 (1978) (eleven trains). They were built in Birmingham by Metro-Cammell. They are all painted in the London Underground corporate livery and have had extensive internal refurbishment.
The first C Stock train entered service on the Hammersmith and City Line in September 1970 and on the Circle Line in February 1971.
There are four sets of double doors on both sides of each car. The C Stock is shorter than the District Line's D Stock, which is necessary for the short platforms at Bayswater and several adjacent stations. The C77 Stock was thus purchased for the Edgware Road to Wimbledon service, but in practice the C69 and C77 operate as a single fleet. They are maintained at Hammersmith Depot.
