The London Underground 1972 Stock is a fleet of trains used on the London Underground. The 1972 Stock was ordered to make up the shortfall in trains on the Northern line's 1959 Tube Stock fleet. It is, however, currently used on the Bakerloo line.
Since July 2011 it is the oldest Tube stock in service on London Underground, after the 1967 Stock on the Victoria Line was permanently withdrawn on 30 June 2011.
The Bakerloo Line serves 25 stations, of which 15 are underground. It is the ninth busiest line on the network with over 111 million passengers annually.

Unique Wickham Railbus no. 999507 (Laboratory 20) in British Rail Research Department livery on the Lavender line.
The “Elliott Track Recording Coach” was commonly referred to as the 'Wickham Railbus' and was built in 1958 by D. Wickham of Ware, Hertfordshire.
It was a self-propelled four-wheel railbus No: DB999507 with one driven axle and had a Meadows 97HP horizontal underfloor engine. It was used as a track recording car by the Chief Civil Engineer's Department from around 1958, before the BR Research Division was formed and was fitted with an early computer system supplied by Elliott Brothers (London) Ltd (Elliott Automation).
The Wickham was sold to the East Lancashire Railway in 1997 and later moved to the Middleton Railway on 11th June 2003. It is currently based at the Lavender Line in Isfield, East Sussex and is now privately owned.

The Lavender Line formed part of the Lewes to Uckfield Railway when it was opened on 18 October 1858. Within 12 months of its opening, the branch had been integrated into the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway (LB&SCR) to safeguard the company’s interests east of its London to Brighton main line. Ten years from its opening, Isfield saw through workings from Brighton to Tunbridge Wells and Tonbridge, via a new Uckfield–Groombridge link. The Bluebell Railway originally branched off the Lavender Line at Culver Junction, near Culver Farm between Lewes and Barcombe Mills. This junction closed in 1958 with the closure of the East Grinstead to Lewes line.
Following its closure in 1969 the track was removed in 1970 and the station at Isfield was neglected and became overgrown. After fourteen years of disuse, it was auctioned in June 1983 by British Rail and sold for £60,500 to Dave and Gwen Milham who restored the station and signal box and laid the first sections of track. Ownership of the station passed from the Milham family in 1991 and it is run by the Lavender Line Preservation Society.
The line was named 'The Lavender Line' with a historical connection in mind: A.E. Lavender and Sons were the local coal merchants who had operated from the station yard
The ECW bodied Leyland Tigers purchased for Green Line work in the early 1980's could probably be said to be some of the worst coaches ever used on the services, although perhaps slightly better than the LNC and SNC vehicles of a few years prior. Following the closure of London Country's Luton Garage in 1977 most coach services operating to and from the growing Luton Airport site had to be operated from St Albans Garage and as such SA received a number of these ECW bodied coaches. TPC 102X, TL2 is seen here on the side forecourt of SA circa 1983 displaying it's sign writing for Green Line Service 757 between London and Luton Airport to full effect. This vehicle was one of a number rebodied in the late 1980's and later operated for Midland Red North, Arriva and Carters Coaches of Colchester before being exported to Zambia.

Although I had expected to see one or two Tiger Line buses, I had totally forgotten that the fleet included Volvo B10L Saffle L456 JCK, seen here still in Ensignbus colours, 17th August 2011.

I'm trying to find it.
I'm all or nothing and different each day.
I'm trying to find the fine line that gives me time for the simple pleasures that I love and the work that needs to be done.
I can't keep saying "it's my time" because if I do that we will be swallowed up by dust.

One thing they say about Shiba's: never let 'em walk off-leash. They have a strong prey instinct. Many have been lost chasing after birds, squirrels or just leaves blowing in the wind.
Mine is no different. The Flexi-leash is a great compromise between freedom and control on the dog walk.
