D Stock The D stock was built between 1980 and 1983, and is known as the D78 stock. It replaced a mix of CO, CP and R stock dating as far back as 1947. There are 130 ‘single ended’ units (DM-trailer-UNDM) and 20 ‘double ended’ units (DM-trailer- DM). A standard six car train is formed of two three car units. The D stock provides the main district line service between Upminster and Ealing Broadway, Richmond & Wimbledon - as well as the High Street Kensington to Olympia shuttle. The D stock is currently being refurbished by Bombardier at it’s plant in Derby - this being the first major refurbishment of this stock. For more information, visit tubeprunes site.
