If they hadn't used such ridiculously thick walls behind the seats they
could have provided quite a bit more standing room. The trains are slightly
larger externally but you'd never know it inside. All they've achieved by
that is making sure the trains can't run on any other tube line and have to
be taken away by road for anything that can't be done at northumberland park.
