Indeed. However I do wonder with low floor tube stock how they're
going to cram in the equipment. Apparently its a bit of a squeeze even
now getting the stuff in under the floor.
Mainly through having fewer bogies with the articulated trains. The
carriages will have uninterrupted space between the ends.
See
http://content.tfl.gov.uk/ntfl-feasibility-report.pdf
Looking at that document it seems more a case of using articulation to
allow walk through carraiges. Certainly in the drawing of the train the
floor doesn't look any lower than current stock to me.
It's hard to tell. In any case, those are only schematic drawings, but
Siemens explicitly stated that they would deliver a lower floor for
the EVO concept which led to the NTfL. I'm not sure if this is now
required of all the bidders.

"The Invitation to Tender for the trains is expected in early 2015" . Hmm.
Yup, already running about a year late:
