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

Apparently some of the problems have been down to door sensors. It just
beggers belief that in 2010 they still can't design door sensors that can
cope with an overcrowded tube train. This really should be simple basic
engineering that an undergraduate could design.

So should designing a seat that fits a human being. *So should putting
windows in train sides.

I think that 2009 stock seats should be compulsory at TfL board
meetings from now on.

I don't have a problem with seats normally - they do feel narrow on
the Piccadilly Line but that's probably my imagination... ;-) I was on
a new Victoria Line train yesterday and it was extremely hot - the
hottest I have ever been on a tube journey and not in a good way. It
felt like the heating was on, the train was packed and it crawled
between stations.- Hide quoted text -

I was on the Northbound Victoria line platform at Kings Cross
yesterday at about 4pm, when a new train pulled in. There was an
anonuncement "...this train is being taken out of service, please do
not board this train....", and everyone got off. Since we were not
given an explanation as to why the train was taken out of service
(when does that ever happen?) it may be the case that there was a
defect with the train, There was also a notice at Kings Cross the
other day apologising for the service on the Victoria line over the
past couple of weeks. (eg. service suspended between Walthamstow and
Seven Sisters on Monday 19th due to "..late finish of overnight
engineering work...)
