Hi all,

The rumour mill says that the new surface stock should be ready to replace
the A, C and D stocks in 2013, and that it will also be used on South London
Metro services. It will have some method of dealing with curved platforms
(I'm guessing short articulated carriages). The Acton Town to Uxbridge
services will become part of the District Line, with all Piccadilly trains
going to Heathrow.


Assuming that Crossrail takes over the District Line Richmond branch I
hope, otherwise the frequency will be appalling.

Actually the frequency to Richmond is only 4tph anyway isn't it? What's
the Piccadilly frequency - 6tph?

As an infrequent user, I feel sorry for frequent users of the Rayners
Lane branch if this is going to be the case - it'll take them even
longer to get to central London unless they change trains. Roll on Park
Royal Piccadilly (or should I say District) interchange?
