Don't know TBH. I do know the 2009 stock on the victoria line is too wide

max width. They're definately more slab sided than other stock.



1992 stock are also very flat-sided, though the 2009 stock seems to have
higher 'shoulders' IYSWIM.


Yes they do which makes standing next to the door much more comfortable than
in other tube stocks as you're not hunched over like quasimodo. I imagine
that extra shoulder width on curves is the issue.
