Each train consists of two 4-car units coupled together; trains are equipped for Automatic Train Operation (ATO). The "train controller" starts the train by simultaneously pressing two buttons and controls the doors during station stops. The trains were built with wrap-around windows in the driving cabs, the first London Underground trains so equipped. The total order of 316 cars were built by Metro-Cammell and later refurbished at Rosyth.
Some 1967 Stock units were also used (and tested) on the Woodford-Hainault section of the Central Line, where ATO technology was also in operation.
The trains are maintained at the Victoria Line's depot, Northumberland Park, the only part of the line which is not below ground.
The 1967 Stock will be replaced by 2009 Stock to be built by Bombardier as part of the modernisation of the Victoria Line. The replacement trains are expected to arrive from 2009 onwards.
