Though it seems every "new" train LU offers them they don't want. I think
the victoria line stock was last mooted and that was no good for some
reason, and they didn't want the 59/62 or 83 stock either. If they're only
going to accept trains that are non aluminium salt water resistant then
they're going to have to get them specially built because there arn't
any tube trains left that match that criteria.

Too much steel/ali combination underneath to cope with the sea spray on Ryde
Pier and not rot through electrolytic corrosion.
