The S7 stock is some of the widest to ever operate in the UK. When

measurements. Is it within TfL's wit to carry out such an exercise?

I appreciate you consider the entire organisation to be grossly
incompetent, but yes, LU did do gauging tests for the S7/S8 stock.

It is always a mistake to presume to know another's thoughts, and this
is no exception.

No, I am not familiar with the entire organization, only those parts
with which I interface. I knew a mainframe programmer who contracted
for what was then LRT(London Regional Transport)? He was more than
competent. And, clearly whoever nurture's TfL's corporate image does
an excellent job.

to be grossly

One was tempted to counter grossly, and then I remembered the SSL
resignalling. That has been one of TfL's many blunders.

Well that is good to hear.
