what is it?
The London Underground Circle Stock consisted of 90 cars renovated in 1934 at Acton Works, selected by the LPTB from earlier Metropolitan Railway stock - 59 of which dated from 1921 but four were 1905 clerestory roofed cars. The vehicles were externally repainted in a red-and-cream livery at first; later all-red. The 90 cars were 36 Driving Motors (DM), 36 trailers, and 18 control trailers (CT), running in 5-car trains for a 14 train service (seven for each route).
