The first S Stock to Aldgate ran a few weeks ago. As of Monday this

weekdays.


The new trains look like an enormous caterpillar.


Why do the doors curve in at the bottom? It seems a daft bit of design
which will make standing next to the doors in crush hour rather awkward
and uncomfortable.

To discourage standing next to the doors ???

Seriously, I have not seen these trains yet but will look out for them
on my next trip.
