London Underground 1967 Stock

Passenger Rolling Stock and High-Speed Trainsets

The London Underground 1967 Stock was a deep-level train that ran on the Victoria line from the line's opening on 1 September 1968 until 30 June 2011, and on the Central line between Woodford and Hainault from 21 February 1968 to 1984, because the same automatic train operation system was used on both lines. Metro-Cammell built 316 cars, or 39.5 train sets, which were later refurbished at Rosyth. Each complete train was two four-car units, started by the operator pressing two buttons together in the cab, and they were the first London Underground trains with wrap-around windows in the driving cabs. Traction was supplied by four motors, one on each axle. The first eight cars were moved to C F Booth of Rotherham for scrapping in January 2010.
