Seating will be the same on three versions. There will be a lot

seats for wheelchairs to pass between them. So, you will have to
stand every day because someone might want to have a wheelchair on
the train once in the next 35 years!


I actually saw a wheelchair user (more like a powered golf buggy
really)
on a Jubilee Line train yesterday. There seemed to be enough room for
him in the area by the doors; I don't understand why there has to be a
metre between the seats.


In case s/he wanted to sit down?
