Default New Victoria Line Stock

Have been on them twice so far and both times the trains were taken out of
service due to problems

I've avoided getting on them as well, but that's because they give such an
uncomfortable and frankly disconcerting ride

Fortunately due to the astoundingly bright light on the front, they can be
detected before getting close to the platform

After 2 weeks of appalling service on the normally fairly reliable Victoria
Line, I finally saw an apology at Blackhorse Road tonight. In the last 10
days, I've been very late for work after a much unwanted sauna on 4
occasions

My best alternative route involves the Jubilee Line which I am aware is not
too reliable. It seems even the DLR cannot be relied upon these days

I would like to add I have no complaints when it comes to staff or customer
service and even onboard communication has generally been good. Could have
been better at Liverpool St on Monday morning with severe overcrowding.
There was a moment when I genuinely feared for my life
