'Standards' at Northfield..
London Transport Piccadilly Line 'Standard Stock' at Northfields depot, on a bright sunny day in around 1958. Other stock in view includes one train of 1938 Stock, and some District Line Q and R Stock, together with what appears to be one set of 1956 Stock on the right. The depot had been built to accommodate 'surface' stock, and was occasionally visited by LT Panniers..
Today (2023) the red and silver stock has all gone, but the depot looks much the same, although there is now a substantial security fence on the left, on the boundary with the main Piccadilly Line tracks.
Restored from a very faded unfocussed orange/cyan colour shifted original..
