Of course, the last web chat was before TfL took back control of
Tubelines, which looks like leading to postponement of the new

Quite, I'm hearing that a 'refresh' might now be on the cards to eke
them out to 2020. I wonder if SWT will be so keen then?

Perhaps keep the 38s running, as the Manx Electric Railway does with its

Admittedly, the circumstances between the two networks are different.
