London Post Office Railway 1962 Stock

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The London Post Office Railway 1962 Stock was built by English Electric in 1962. Two of these units were built at prototypes for a possible new design of stock. Several of the design features were later incorporated into the 1980 Stock.

Two sets were built, numbered 1 and 2. The first unit was withdrawn in 1967 after just five years, and was eventually scrapped. The second lasted until 1980 but was later repaired using parts from its scrapped sister, being renumbered to 66.

This unit was withdrawn in 2003 when the system closed.
