1972 stock number 3266 leads a Harrow and Wealdstone to Elephant and Castle TfL service into South Kenton station. I took this train back into London as far as Baker Street where I changed for a Hammersmith and City Line train. The 1972 is currently the oldest non-heritage trains running in the United Kingdom but, despite this, there are no plans for their replacement yet until at least the 2030s by which time they will be sixty to seventy years old!
