Default Bakerloo Line Stock

Metronet plans to deliver a Line Upgrade for the Bakerloo Line in 2019
with new rolling stock and signalling, a year in advance of the
required London Underground (LU) implementation date.


A whole year? Wow!

Does anyone find it funny that some people will religiously change
their car after 12-36 months, while these trains will be FORTY SEVEN
years old when they finally get replaced?

I presume they must be getting another refurbishment in that time? The
Victoria/Bakerloo interior is pretty good, but it won't last another 14
years!

Information screens are a must I would have thought - and something to
be added now, not in 2019.
