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.


Five to seven years ago is not so long, in relative terms.

I managed to see a westbound S7 at Mile End today. It seemed that the
headlights were a little less intense than the S8s'. I also noticed that
some of the car numbers, had a large blue dot next to them: What does
that mean?
