Where are the 67s going, the Island Line?

Island line is assumed to be getting 73s, as indicated by SWT comment in
their recent web chat.

Interesting - I hadn't heard that particular story. Will they fit given
the cars are a bit longer?

I had thought that it was to be the 67s as the 09s came into service.

It seems as though the 67s have a different control set up then other
LUL rolling stock. Whereas the deadman lever is normally in the
controller, it is separate from the controller on the 67s.

They have a similar set up in Berlin.

IIRC, the problem with the 67s is that their speeds are restricted to 25
miles when in manual. Speeds on the Island Line can reach 45 miles.
