very crowded Victoria Station in
Thursday the 30th of June at
approximately 5:30 and we're currently
on the southbound platform waiting for
the very last 67 stock to roll through
as their name suggests the 67 trains
have been in operation for over 40 years
but the first train didn't run in
passenger service until September 1968
the new trains that replaced them
the O 9 stock had been slowly rolled out
to the line over the last two years
forty-seven trains in total four more
than the older fleet now that we're not
alone in doing this we just was bidden
to these three people here who believed
it to be their next train in the last 67
train was scheduled to make four trips
up and down the line from seven sisters
down to Brixton and back again twice so
on she's coming in
it eventually arrived at Victoria a few
minutes later oh it's got an order
the train was busy alongside regular
peak time travelers were others like us
who had come out for one final trip
there were also many London Underground
officials - its characters like a weird
vehement train enthusiast the regular
commuters Oh didn't see anything special
today I'm afraid
I don't wanna go home at brixton the
train terminated before heading back up
the line
we noticed amongst the regular commuters
that perhaps some of the enthusiasts
have mortally taken a souvenir the new
trains have a higher top speed and
better acceleration meaning there should
be about a 15% decrease in journey times
and at the rush-hour peak 43 trains will
be in service 6 more than there were
with the old trains we're just making
oil
here it comes is fighting its way very
slowly into the southbound platform a
little bit two people here to see in
those people taking pictures
I was actually quite excited there was
also almost a 20% increase in capacity
balance what do people think of the
nutrients standing on the platform
Monsanto
screeching noise as these new treatments
come in pretty piss-poor through me but
inside is a lot brighter better
in there well hoping to see their
rubbish they're not as bad as the
plastic ones on 1992's dot on the second
line anyway
I like the transfer seats back in the
center of town the Train got really busy
I was glad I brought my water there were
a lot of people including a film crew
making a documentary about the tube due
to be shown next year until finally the
last departure out of Brixton we're just
getting on the front of a train the last
ever and 67 out of Brixton they're
released people here rushing together is
quite exciting garage oh I've been on a
train for over two hours now haven't
seen any sunlight since he prescribed a
No
plus seven finger lip with two carriage
feverish very hot from their laundry
come here where we have chosen front
carriage which I probably like the most
on the carriage of the evening we got
chatting to passengers there was almost
a party atmosphere on board and this
young man really got into the
underground spirit by choosing this
moment for a baby tooth to come out
together now
mind the gap and it just before eight
o'clock the 67 pulled into Seven Sisters
for the last time and there are a few
words from London Underground chief
operating officer Howard Collins thanks
for coming along a fantastic afternoon I
hope you've enjoyed as much as we have
and looking forward to our new trains
so this is goodbye to the old and hello
to the new this is Victoria pipe on the
Victoria line
