Apparently some of the problems have been down to door sensors. It just

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

Finally got to see one today. It was interesting how bright the

the 67 stock, but I wonder if that is not meant in some way to keep
