The London Underground 1973 Stock is a type of rolling stock used on the Piccadilly line of the London Underground. They normally run in either 6-car or 3-car formations.

The more common 6-car consist is formed by coupling two DM+T+UNDM formations; driver motorcar (DM), trailercar (T), and "uncoupling non-driver motorcar" (UNDM).

The 3-car consist, also known as a 'double ended unit', is formed by a DM+T+DM formation. These 3-car consists can run on their own, but can also service coupled with a DM+T+UNDM formation. The double ended units where intended to create more flexibility in rolling stock deployment; for example to replace a DM+T+UNDM formation when it is out of service for maintenance, and to operate the now closed Aldwych branch of the Piccadilly line.

In the simulator

In Metrosimulator, the following consists will be available;

London: Single ended unit (DM+T+UNDM, to be coupled back-to-back)

London: Double ended unit (DM+T+DM, can run on it's own, or coupled with the single ended unit)

Glasgow (Beta 3.14): SPT repaint, driver motor car (to be coupled back-to-back, units 1-33)
