.. (3)...!



Trouble is numbers don't help much, because of the different car
lengths.

If there's a standardish length of about 16 m (eg Circle, Central,
Bakerloo, Metropolitan etc), the Jubilee, Northern and Piccadilly are
a bit longer (about 17½ m), and the District D stock are longer still
(over 18 m), such that six D stock cars are about the length of seven
standardish cars. The "Overground" cars are about 20 m, so three of
them are the length of four Bakerloos.

Another location I forgot is Mile End where District (6 long, ie the
same as 7 standardish) use different tracks but same island platforms
as Central (8 standardish).
