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?


I've seen the peak frequency to Richmond quoted as either 6 or 7tph.
