They have merged two snippets into one I expect.

Indeed complete nonsense! H&C / Met / District / Circle line stock
will be replaced with S stock, starting from later this year -
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_Underground_S_Stock

It's just confusion between the new class 378s (as used by London
Overground on the NLL, WLL and ELL) and the upcoming LU S-stock -
there are a fair number of similarities, though ultimately they're
rather different trains.

It surprises me that TfL could not come up with a common design for
Overground and sub-surface stock.

They tried that with the 83 stock on the Jubilee line, making it look
like the tube version of D stock.
