Unfortunately, both the LUL A62 and ex-BR Class 313 stock are too tall
for the tunnel at Ryde St John's Road, whose tight clearances define the
structure gauge for the Island Line.

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?

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.

None left.

I thought that they had a decent amount of them lying about in various
depots. Assuming that they don't, then what models would be the most likely
candidate for the IOW?

I know that 83s are long can from revenue service, but are any of them
running around just for work purposes?
