The A Stock (also known as the A60 and A62 Stocks) was a type of train used on the Metropolitan Line of the London Underground.
The trains were built in two batches (A60 and A62) by Cravens of Sheffield in the early 1960s and replaced all other trains on the line.
The A Stock is currently (as of September 2012) the oldest type of train in passenger service on the London Underground. It is the only train to have luggage racks, separate motoring and braking controls and no automated announcements.
When electrification commenced in 1959, London Transport placed an order for 31 trains, later known as the A60 Stock. The first A Stock units (5004 and 5008) entered passenger service beginning with the Watford service in June 1961 as a trial. The Amersham/Chesham services began later that year. London Transport later ordered a further 27 trains, which became known as the A62 Stock. This second batch were introduced between 1961--63 to replace the F and P Stocks on the Uxbridge service. Both batches were built by Cravens of Sheffield. By December 1963, the roll-out was complete.
The trains were designated as the A Stock to mark the electrification of the Metropolitan Line to Amersham. The A Stock was also used on the East London Line (then a branch of the Metropolitan Line) between June 1977 to April 1985, May 1987 to 24 March 1995 and from 25 March 1998 until the line closed permanently on 22 December 2007. It is now part of the London Overground network.

The Metropolitan line is a London Underground service that connects Aldgate in the City of London, the capital's financial heart, with Amersham and Chesham in Buckinghamshire, with branches to Watford and Uxbridge. Coloured corporate magenta on the tube map, the line serves 34 stations in 41.4 miles (66.7 km). The track and stations between Aldgate and Baker Street are shared with the Circle and Hammersmith & City lines, between Rayners Lane and Uxbridge with the Piccadilly line, and between Harrow-on-the-Hill and Amersham with Chiltern Railways trains.
In 1863 the Metropolitan Railway began the world's first underground railway service between Paddington and Farringdon Street with wooden carriages and steam locomotives, but the most important route became the line north into the Middlesex countryside, where it stimulated the development of new suburbs. Harrow was reached in 1880, and the line eventually extended as far as Verney Junction in Buckinghamshire, more than 50 miles (80 km) from Baker Street and the centre of London. From the end of the 19th century, the railway shared tracks with the Great Central Railway route out of Marylebone. The central London lines were electrified by 1907, but electric locomotives were exchanged for steam locomotives on trains heading north of Harrow. After the Metropolitan Railway was absorbed by the London Passenger Transport Board in 1933 the line was cut back to Aylesbury. The steam hauled trains ran until 1961 when the line was electrified to Amersham and London Transport services to Aylesbury withdrawn. The Hammersmith & City line was shown on the tube map as part of the Metropolitan line until 1990 when it appeared as a separate line. The trains have recently been replaced with new S Stock units.
