London Underground 1962 Stock

The London Underground 1962 Stock was a type of tube train built for the Central line, where it ran from 1962 to 1995, with some later transferred to the Northern line and used there until 1999. It was built by Metro-Cammell and the BR Workshops in Derby, the order passing to Metro-Cammell in 1961 when BRCW asked to be relieved of its contract because of financial difficulty, and delivered as a continuation of the 1959 Stock. The units were virtually identical to the 1959 Stock, with a number of improvements from experience, and each of four cars was formed of two driving motors, a trailer and a non-driving motor. The first 1962 Stock train entered service on 12 April 1962, and all trains were in service by 17 May 1964.
