looks like a central line train on steroids........


Unfortunately it lacks the 92 stock's curved windows, so you won't
be able to tip your head back and look at the clouds... ;-)


Seriously though, those windows are very small. They look like they
might be small enough to make it a bit tricky to see what station
you're at.


I don't think they are very different from 1995 or 1996 stock (not that
I'm a great fan of them). Compare with this photo of a 95 at Morden:

The artist's view of the new Vic stock simulates a wide-angle lens,
accentuating the front and making the side windows look smaller.
