Fair enough. But would it actually be feasible to bring in 67Ts stock or
would too many modifications indeed be required? If that is the case, I
noticed that some of Victoria Line trains' current make ups consist of 72Ts
stock. Would there be enough of them for the Island Line's requirements?
Aren't these the types that have alloy panels on a steel frame?
And what about the 83Ts, which used to run on the Jubilee, as an option?
Those actually might be good for the Island line, because I believe that
they required guards.
Haven't they been scrapped yet?
