Electrification to Amersham[edit]

The article claims that steam haulage north of Rickmansworth was abandoned in 1960 when the line was electrified to Chesham and Amersham. However, it then claims that the electric locomotives were not run to Amersham because there was no facility for them to run round. So if steam was abandoned and electric couldn't run round, what mode of traction was used between Rickmansworth and Amersham? 109.156.49.202 (talk) 18:01, 6 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

London Underground A60 and A62 Stock. --Redrose64 (talk) 20:00, 6 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Probably a good answer - as long as the appropriate citations are available. However, you completely missed the point because as a critisism of the article my point above still stands. 109.156.49.202 (talk) 11:47, 8 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Dubious content[edit]

I am not convinced that "Six-carriage trains were operated from October 1923 for a brief period" on the City and South London Railway. Bruce 1988, p. 16 says that five-car sets were the maximum length of trains operated before the tunnels were enlarged in 1923. Bob1960evens (talk) 16:10, 3 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
