  22 October 2006 - Dave Carson

  Has since been repainted in now-standard LUL livery of blue base panels, white body and red doors.

  Is it still NR-registered?

• 999666

  30 October 2006 - Dave Carson

  Yes it still holds that number as it's buckeye couplers are at full standard height (hence the smaller car end doors). It's jumper leads are BR/UIC standard. Internally, this car has been refitted since the above photo with a smaller, more powerful computer and databank, larger office, phone exchange (car has own office and fax numbers) and refurbished Mk3 seating and a new kitchen!

• TRT 666

  4 May 2007 - Dave Carson

  The train still exists, but the station doesn't!

  What happened to the old LUL Mk 2? I forget its number so as a result I cant find it on this website.

  I remember seeing this back in the late 1980s going through Clapham Junction sandwiched between two Hastings unit Driving Motor coaches. A Bizare sight!!

  Re: the mk2 if you mean 977547 then it is stored at Sinderby

  The mk1 - 977588 - I believe is at West Ruislip as 35011

  nice old shot here of it out of usual territory - presumably on the way to or from Old Dalby. Thanks to Mike.

  Great shot that shows the different size body profiles to good effect. Any idea what the other two RTC coaches are? The one nearest the camera looks very clean.

• 27 July 2020 - Greg Hartle

  Is this a more likely spot at Neasden or West Ruislip depot?

• 27 July 2020 - Dan Adkins

  Is it even still in use? This set was supposed to be replaced by the 67/72 stock set but not sure if it actually happened? Oh and another note, this was not 'new' as such, it was converted from 1973 stock 514. Also known as TRC666.

• 27 July 2020 - Dan Adkins

  Although just doing some digging, it seems that the 6-car Asset Inspection Train has been decommissioned and is stored at Northfields. There's a photo from February of L132 from the 3-car set at Acton Works, but it doesn't say if it's arriving or departing, nor where to/from.

• 28 July 2020 - Greg Hartle

  Interesting.... and is 999666 still part of the 6-car AIT and at Northfields too?

• 28 July 2020 - Dan Adkins

  Sorry for the confusion! 999666 is not, and has never been part of the 6-car set. It's always been part of the 3-car set with L132 and L133. The 6-car set is an entirely different entity.

• 28 July 2020 - Greg Hartle

  Ahh right ok Dan, so a clue to where 999666 could possibly be currently?

• 3 August 2020 - Greg Hartle

  Possible whereabouts of this vehicle if anyone can help please? Thanks..

• 22 March 2022 - Ben Williams

  Video here suggests it is still running

  Just been reading about the Track Recording Train (TRT) in a recent RE magazine, this being the TRV.. It didn't state where the TRT is usually based when not out working. Would it be West Ruislip or another LU depot? I travel around London at least 3 times a year and I'm still yet to come across the TRT!

• 30 September 2024 - Ben Williams

  Used to be based at Northfields I think?

• 30 September 2024 - Dan Adkins

  It lives at West Ruislip these days, often visible from passing trains.

• 30 September 2024 - Greg Hartle

  Brilliant cheers Dan! I'm guessing passing underground trains?
