What about for the Island Line? Any going that way?
No - 'Island line' is to get 73 stock, according to SWT a few months ago.
Given that the IoW now routinely seems to utilize ex-TfL stock one has
to wonder why they do not go ahead and install a fourth rail. *It
would save converting the trains after each purchase.
It will be sad to see the all over red stock retire.
I've never understood why they didn't grab some 1983 stock when they
had the chance. Decades newer than what they've got and the single
leaf doors wouldn't have been a problem on the IOW.
