Piccadilly Line cars scrapped

THE remains of 73 TS Uncoupling Non-Driving Motor car (UNDM)

No. 366 and trailer No. 566 were quietly disposed of on June 21.

Sent away by road, these cars were part of the unit that was hit during the 7/7 bombing attack in 2005. Undamaged by the terrorist explosion, these cars had been kept as body spares. However, with the order now placed for 94 Siemens ‘Inspiro' 24 TS trains, they were redundant and taking up space at the Northfields depot site, which is to be upgraded.
