The ironic thing is that the Northern line needs extra trains in the same
time-scale, but I don't suppose there would be any chance of using
redundant 92TS on that line alongside the slightly newer 95TS. Had those
lines shared a standard design, it would have been feasible.

92 stock would be too big I think. It definitely appears higher and wider.


Out of curiosity, could any LUL rolling stock operate without drivers now?

Technically, no, but it wouldn't be hard to fit remote or automatic
timer-based door closing gear. Everything else is automatic now on several
fleets.

I had heard that there was a possible plan a while back to bring stabled
LUL trains into passenger terminals without any crews at all, though RMT
put a stop to that.

They do that on the Vienna U-Bahn and, I think, on the Kazan Metro.
