Made me notice that once the D78s on the District are replaced


Personally I think someone needs to open an enquiry over the money spent
on
the recent refurb of the D stock given how much it cost and how little
value LU are going to get from it given that they're all going to go for
scrap in a few years. We all know how TfL love wasting money while
claiming
poverty , but this really does take the ****.

'Recent' refurb? It was quite a few years ago, and the D stock will be
the
last to be replaced by the S stock.


They were refurbished between summer 2005 and February 2008. So they'll
barely get a decade of use from the refurbs.
