Default Why the piccadilly to Heathrow , why not the District?

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!

Thanks. In other words A stock is only 1 inch wider than C stock. Trivial
really. It does make me wonder why such a small amount restricts where the
A stock can run , I guess it must be wider at an inconvenient height or
something.
