Latest News About London Underground C69 And C77 Stock

Direct answer: The London Underground C69 and C77 Stock (collectively known as the C Stock) last operated in 2014, having been replaced by S7 Stock; various sources note their withdrawal completed by early 2014 with the final trains retired that year.[3][9]

Context and highlights:

• What they are: C69 and C77 were two variants of a sub-surface London Underground stock used on the Circle, District, and Hammersmith & City lines, built by Metro-Cammell and in service from 1970 to 2014.[2][9]
• Service history: They operated for roughly 44 years and were gradually withdrawn as S7 Stock trains entered service around 2012–2014; the overall withdrawal was completed on the Circle and Hammersmith & City lines by February 2014, with some maintenance and disposal activity continuing into 2013–2014.[1][9]
• Notable details: They were among the oldest subsurface stock at retirement and, at the time, the last subsurface trains without passenger information displays on London Underground.[3]

Illustrative notes:

• If you’re tracing individual train sets, many references list typical formations like 6-car sets and identify examples that were scrapped or preserved, with some items held for tours or exhibits after withdrawal.[1][3]
• For visuals, museum and archival pages show photos and captions of C69/C77 stock in various liveries and configurations, including mixed formations and end-car refurbishments before retirement.[2][3]
