1938 Tube Stock DM 11172 at Ruislip depot
A very sad looking DM 11172 stands at Ruislip depot on 2nd May 1988. Having been withdrawn from service on the Bakerloo line in 1985, this unit was used as a staff mess facility at Ruislip for a while. It was subsequently canibalised to keep the 5 '38 stock trains that returned to service on the Northern line going.
In spite of its poor condition in 1988, this car wasn't scrapped until 2001, having been transferred to the Isle of Wight to provide a spare bodyshell in case of mishaps with the operational fleet.
