I heard another C-stock unit will be withdrawn and taken away for Scrapping at the end of the month, not sure if its going to Acton or Northwood.

I gather they're going via Northwood like the A stock did.

I'm guessing the rumoured plan of taking the C stocks by rail has been put to bed, and it will all be by road?

It might be handy if someone Who Knows could post the numbers of the units going as they do for record and also for those interested in numbers?

Anybody able to post the unit numbers of all these that are going for scrap? The boards seem remarkable silent on this important matter!

Sorry for the long wait (bit like waiting for a H&C really...)
5528+6528 and 5588+6588 went to Northwood, which begs the question, what happened to 5701+6701 that went with these units to Acton in the first place?

The following were transferred from Hammersmith to Neasden Depot today (shown here in current train formation with first unit facing northwards) in readiness for scrapping:
5530, 5527, 5556 & 5589, 5503, 5708.
One train should be sent to Northwood on Monday, the other possibly the following week.

Aren't there supposed to be about 7 sets going this weekend?

There were indeed meant to be several trains moving out to make way for S7's, but in the end just two went this weekend.

Wouldn't it be cheaper just to set a piece of depot aside, stable the train on it, then invite train enthusiasts in? You'd only need a bin liner to put the remains of the train in
