D stock

The first D Stock
The D Stock was built by Metropolitan Amalgamated railway carriage & wagon in Saltley near Birmingham in 1912. A total of 30 cars were built, 22 were driving motor cars (DM) and 8 were trailers (T). In 1928 the 8 trailers cars were converted into motor cars.

These units were very similer to the earlier B and C stock trains. In the 1940s the C, and E stocks were reclassifed as H Stock along with other pre-1938 District line rolling stocks. The H Stock was largly eliminated by the early 1950s, following replacement by the R Stock. The remaining cars were used to the Olyimpia shuttle service and were withdrawn by the late 1950s.

D78 stock
The D78 stock is a train operated by London underground



The stock is used on the District line, except the Wimbledon to Edgware Road service.The stock is

scheduled for replacement by S Stock in 2015. The District line will be the last line to receive S Stock, largely due to the recent refurbishment and newness of D Stock. Because the stock has been extensively refurbished there may be scope to sell it abroad.
