The D Stock was built by
in 1912. A total of thirty cars were built, twenty-two were driving motor cars and eight were trailers. In 1928 the eight trailer cars were rebuilt into motor cars at Acton Works.These units were very similar to the earlier
Olympia shuttle service and were withdrawn from passenger service by the late 1950s. One continued in use for a time in grey livery as a "Stores Carrier" motor car SC637, before being finally broken up in May 1963.[1][2][3]
No vehicles have survived into preservation.
