The A60 Stock is a class of sub-surface train run on the London Underground, which was built in 1960 by Cravens of Sheffield. The A62 Stock is a second batch of identical units, built in 1962. They are both commonly known simply as 'A' stock, as there is no need to distinguish between the 60 and 62 batches, or between either of these and the 1903 trains, also known as "A Stock".
