They're not 'due' for replacement for another 20+ years, but probably
*will* be replaced within 15 years. LU would like to be shot of them, and
they'll go as part of the NTfL programme. So they'll probably do just under
40 years, compared to about 50 for the 1973 and A stock. The 72TS may
manage an amazing 60 years!

I actually rather like them. Good acceleration and good use of interior
space especially with the middle seats pulled back right to the window. Its
something the designers of the 2009 stock should have looked at before they
wasted god knows how many square feet with unnecessary wall cladding behind
the seats which could be moved a good 3-4 inches back each side with a
resulting increase in standing room.
