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 -

Even on the Piccadilly, where I don't like the refurbished seating
arrangement, I can put my bum at the back of the seat and lean back.

I can't do that in 2009 stock; I would be forced to lean forward. If
I slump forwards and lean back, my back is then supported only by the
hard ridge at the top of the seat.

Extremely unpleasant either way.
