<b><u>London Underground</b></u><br>District line 'Q' stock trailer at Upminster in 1950. Note that all the sliding doors are open on the non-platform side.<br>'Tubeprune' writes: <i>Nearest the camera is a Q38 car with a Q35 as the main subject of the photo. The passenger door controls were taken out of use in 1959 and the stock lasted until 1971 on the East London Line.<br>In warm weather it was common for trains to be brought out of depots with the doors open to force some fresh air into the cars. The train has probably just been run into the station from the sidings to the east. The doors will be shut before the train goes west.</i>Previous | Next<b><u>London Underground</b></u><br>Uxbridge 15/4/51.
