A Tube Train's Final Journey - To the Scrapyard

- The London Underground is the world's oldest metro system. It operates a range of trains from the 1960s to the 2000s for passenger, freight and departmental uses.
Join a train of 1967 and 1972 Mk I Stock on their final journey to the scrapyard. Take a look at them being shunted, lifted into the air as they're craned out, as they transverse the tight suburban roads on low loaders and how they get ripped to pieces at the scrapyard.
It was inevitable to be honest, it's been sat at the back of Northfields rotting away.
Shame, a sad but informative video and its interesting too see how the trains are scrapped and the journey they take there, thanks for posting :)
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
@@AlexMetroman Please post video of cutting the scrap at the yard. That would be cool!
That’s a lot of labour to get that thing to the scrapyard! That lorry driver has so mad skills! Seagulls and screw off !
Just a shame it didn't turn a wheel to do it's job. Should have got 2 more 72 or 67 DM's and converted it into 2 R.A.T.s for the Picc when they had the chance.
That would have been logical.
Great video,.
Thank you!
Great video
Thank you!
Damn,.imagine just seeing a 67 stocks just get ripped apart like it's paper...sad tbf.
Dealing with DLR old stock up here in Rotherham.
Excellent. Please post video of scrap cutting/shredding.
Is it CF Booth yard? ... always a great recycler.
The train was rebuild into this and then left i storage and then it died for nothing
Ahh the AIT.
The video is very nicely done but the story behind it is very sad
It's always sad seeing a train going for scrap, but I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
Apprentley it developed faults and it was idle for months at Northfields depot and it was decided to scrap it.
Hope it's parts were salvaged to keep the other 72s on the Bakerloo line going.
It was sat there for years, not months. Parts were salvaged for the 72TS.
@@AlexMetroman that's good that parts were retained before it was scrapped. I didn't know it was idle for years. Thanks for telling me.
Where is this scrap yard
As it says in the video, it was LKM Recycling in Sittingbourne.
Which line did these trains belong to
The 72TS belonged to the Northern and the 67TS to the Victoria.
Oh nice
The 1967 stock operated on the Victoria line and the 1972mk1 was the identical looking cousin but for crew operation and no automatic driving on the Northern line alongside the 1959 stock to compensate for the shortage of trains to run all services.
Just so sad to see the 67 stock, d78 stock and 83 stock ripped up like paper.
It's uplifting to see older crap recycled and more efficient modern designs take over.
Any scrap cutting is an exhilarating experience to witness.
You want to see simms in Newport Wales they would have done this in 5 minutes with a shredder
Too bad... :(
Is there any future replacement for the inspection train?
The Track Recording Train is still used to this day, but London Underground are now looking for a replacement for it.
@@AlexMetroman Isnt there a D-Stock version? Im not sure if I saw one not too long ago
The train you are thinking of is the Rail Adhesion Train in use on the Metropolitan Line, that has a different function to this train.
@@AlexMetroman Ah I see, Thanks!
Wait, the 1973 stocks are already going to scrap? Noo way they said in like 2025 they are going out of service. 31:22 Yeah that 1972 stock is definetly going to scrap 100%. Also they dont gotta scrap the trains when they can make them track inspection trains. 45:29 I thought it was a 1972 stock lol its a 1967. The 1967 were bad anyway it was a 8 car ripoff of an 1972 stock. 1:06:40 Man that guy scrapping the train hates it bad like chilllll fammm! 1:07:54 Look very close at the front, you can see a non demolished train wheel.
The 67 stock came before the 72....
They should of use them for something else
the 1973 stock dosent even have any new trains and straight scrapping
No 1973 Stock carriages were scrapped in this video.
@@AlexMetroman oh thank god,let them still have some life till the new trains come to replace them,anyways good vid there Alex:)
The reason the 73 stock was there was to tow the 67 stock to the road.
They should have been towed by rail to the scrapyard.
There is no rail connection to the scrap yard.
I know, perhaps it should have been taken elsewhere.@@AlexMetroman
Although I admit it would be cool to see going by rail, a rigorous procurement process for a contract would have been undertaken. This scrapyard 'won' that process most likely by cost/service offered/timescale. The railway is run as a business and value for money is what's important to them.
And what a heap of junk it was that took up space in our yard and never moved. #bye
