Not true , surface stock is a foot wider which amounts to a lot more extra
room inside the carriages.
They are approximately the same width. Note that both tube and D stock
have 2+2 seating.
Thats true , but in the D stock the seats are a lot wider.
A stock is 3+2, but A stock is far too wide for most lines.
If you look at the dimensions of the trains (I did find a web site with
this info but I can't find it now , typical) , I think A-stock is only about
9cm wider than the others, which is only 4.5 on a side , not a whole hell of
a lot really.
sorry for the length!
