Last I read, LUL were not accepting more "S" stock, until problems
with existing deliveries are resolved.
If that was the article in Modern Railways, it was printed at about the
same time deliveries restarted...
Thank you. I have not utilized "S" stock yet. Everything I have read
tells me that the trains are not ideal for a London to Amersham journey.
I wouldn't go that far from my one trip (between Kings Cross St Pancras and
Great Portland Street).
They seem OK to me, given that A stock is hardly ideal for
London-Amersham either, IMHO.
The new trains have fewer seats, which are much harder, and most are
longitudinal. It's noticeable that the transverse seats are much more
popular. However, I agree that the squishy seats in the venerable A
stock are also not back-friendly, and the compressor racket, scratched
windows, etc are off-putting too.
