I couldn't find a thread for clapped out trains. Maybe there should be one. Here's a few observations from today. - 465250's AC motor inverters sound quite rough and gritty, the same as a few BREL 465s did with their original motor inverters. - 465017 formed the middle part of a 10-car working today. The lights in its leading car were not working, and it was dark out.  |

51537 (and coupled cars) on the Northern Line made a whinning noise which from the outside sounds like a 72 stock motor.
Query: how does the numbering system go on tube trains, eg. what would the car numbers be for the other five cars for that train...is there a sequence pattern? Up to now i never really took notice of bonnet numbers on trains.

I think they've done some rail grinding on the southbound around Clapham Common. Same noise can be heard on the Jubilee Line between Baker Street and Waterloo. |

That was the station i heard it from whilst waiting for the northbound train. Will try and check again next time if possible. |

As so few trains have been withdrawn since 2005 - most new trains being for lengthening or increasing services - some will be clapped out soon. Examples are the class 313 & 315s.
