I still remembered when the D stock had the misha black moquette up until I think 2002/03

I still remembered when the D stock had the misha black moquette up until I think 2002/03 I rode one of the modified ones now on the Isle of Wight where they do a great bit of thrashing, plus they sound like they still have their original Piccadilly Line sounding motors... which I was presently surprised to hear given their heavy refurbs. Also seems weird them having train guards now

I barely remember the older red skirt trains as well, showing my age C69 Stock replaced CO/CP Stock on the H&C/Circle Lines, which moved over to the District to replace the last Q Stock in the early-1970s. A second batch of C Stock (C77) which were fully integrated into C Stock fleet, helped replace the CO/CP Stock on the District early-1980s. . . . plus they sound like they still have their original Piccadilly Line sounding motors... which I was presently surprised to hear given their heavy refurbs. VivaRail replaced the original DC motors wth AC, the gear noise is the same.

Scary literally time is literally flying by seems faster now than years ago , It seems like yesterday I was sitting hearing the whines of the train struggling to get over 35 between Bromley and West Ham I used to be scared of the C stock when I was little because of the loud ventilation system(?) that often suddenly activated in the western section... I remember when I went on the H&C line for fun in 2013 (it was my first time on the H&C) from West Ham to somewhere in central London, and I got scared immediately when I realised what train I was going to spend the next 30+ mins on. Same goes for when I went on the Edgware Road District Line service for the first time. Still, at least I didn't live in the early 1990s, as judging by what I've seen from citytransportinfo's videos, the original C stocks were even louder. Would have given me nightmares!

Prototype refurbishment unit 7008-17008-8008 was exhibited at Wimbledon station in 1999 with a new moquette: www.trainweb.org/tubeprune/D%20Stock%20new%20uphol%20close.jpg

That was what I was talking about. Scroll down to the bottom www.trainweb.org/tubeprune/D%20Stock.htmAnd I actually remembered when this happened live time
