Here’s the latest I can share up to now.
- C Stock was officially retired from London Underground service in 2014, with the final passenger services ending in June 2014. The trains were replaced by newer stock on routes including the Circle, Hammersmith & City, and District Lines. This marks the end of the C Stock era on LU.[1][4]
- Since then, London Underground has pursued modernisation programs on various lines, including upgrades to rolling stock across the network, but there has been no revival or reintroduction of C Stock into active service as of the latest public information.[5][1]
If you’re looking for the very latest official updates, I can fetch recent press releases or rail industry news again and summarize any new developments. Would you like me to look for the most current sources now?
