The T Stock was built by Birmingham RC&W for the Metropolitan Railway in 1931-32 for use on electric services from Baker Street to Uxbridge and Watford, though mainly used on services to Watford.

These electric multiple unit trains had slam doors with rounded tops (which were less likely to be damaged if accidentally opened in a tunnel).

The stock was replaced from 1962 by the new A60 and A62 Stock.

In 1961 two driving motor vehicles were converted into sleet locomotives. These were numbered ESL118A and ESL118B, having previously been 2758 and 2749 respectively. After being withdrawn both cars were preserved, currently located at the Spa Valley Railway
