Twenty-four '''1915 Tube Stock''' driving motor cars were built by [[Brush Traction|Brush]] for the [[Central London Railway]]'s extension from [[Wood Lane tube station|Wood Lane]] to [[Ealing Broadway station|Ealing Broadway]]. No trailer cars were built as part of the stock.

The extension was not completed until 1917 and operation did not start until 1920 so the cars were initially transferred to the [[Baker Street and Waterloo Railway|Bakerloo tube]] for use on the [[Watford]] extension, for which they were fitted with [[contact shoe]]s for the [[Railway electrification system#Fourth rail|4th rail]].

Once returned to the Central, cars were not compatible with the [[London Underground 1900/1903 Stock|1903 tube stock]]. Because of this the different stock were given nicknames, the 1915 stock became known as the 'Ealing Stock' while the [[London Underground 1900/1903 Stock|1903 stock]] became known as 'Tunnel Stock' or 'Local Stock'. As no trailer cars had been built several [[London Underground 1900/1903 Stock|1900 stock]] trailers were modified to run with them.
