Nothing firm but I'm sure I read that a mid Jan delivery was

Apparently the first set was delivered on 22 December 2007. Thanks to U
Thant for posting a link to the TfL board papers in question.

According to the February Underground News. The unit number is 105,
the first batch of new units will be numbered 101 - 124 and the second
batch 125-155. Delivery of the two batches is likely to be continuous.


I wonder why they couldn't be consistent with numbering in the first
place, if they can handle three digits?

What should have been 100 - 115 were numbered 01 to 16 for no obvious
reason, and now they've started again at 101. (They might at least
have filled in up to 21 first, numbers of the others that are
departed.)
