The S7 stock is some of the widest to ever operate in the UK. When
Network Rail, or their predecessors, has operated stock with new
kinetic envelope characteristics they have been known to cobble
together a gauging vehicle and move it over the intended routes taking
measurements. Is it within TfL's wit to carry out such an exercise?

It's no wider than other LU surface stock apart from the C-stock.

"D Stock is 9' 4" wide. "S Stock" is 9' 7" wide. While the "S Stock"
is shorter, its kinetic envelope will be different. TfL have also had
problems with the "gap" at some circle line platforms.

That's because of the lower S stock floor height surely? The width issue for
D stock will be the car length and not just the width too. What is the C
stock width?

As mentioned before, at least TfL know how to make a tube platform
bright and cheeful.
