THE 'D' STOCK FAREWELL CHARTER
In connection with the withdrawal of ‘D’ stock on the District Line, London Underground ran a special train today from High Street Kensington to various locations on the District and Piccadilly Lines, consisting of 7007 and 7032. Ordered in 1976 to replace the pre-war CO/CP Stock and post-war R stock on the District line (apart from High Street Kensington and Edgware Road), the D78 underground stock were the oldest subsurface trains in operation on the London Underground.
