Maybe the dates are now more realistic -- after all, the 2009 stock
started testing on the Victoria line in 2007. But I'm not sure when
it will enter pax service.


Tube stock used to be quite good at entering service in the right
year, e.g. 1959, 1960, 1962 and 1967.


Surely the 1967 stock only entered service in 1968?


A recent new idea is to pretend that the additional Jubilee stock is
also 1996, including the otherwise rather different treadover plates
from the originals.


That's what I meant by the mark 2 comment, which also applied to the
1972 stock. The C stock also came in two widely separated batches (68
and 77).
