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.
Interesting rumour mill John - not heard any of that from within LUL. I
must find myself a better source.
I heard that the Victoria Line was next for new stock.. I know what C
and D is, so maybe that's A......

Kat Frogs have it easy. They can eat what bugs them.
A stock is the Met main and East london line
C H&C
D DIstrict
Were supposed to be getting new stock starting with the met main in 2012.
Its gonna be the same stock for all of ssl. The only difference will be the
number of carridges. Met 8, Distict 7 and h&c an circle will have 6.
One D'stock is being refurbed at the moment. dunno when that will be back.
so i doubt the district will get new trains for atleast 15 yrs.
