Are these new trains going to be more of the same design or will they be completely new? One would hope the latter given the current 95 stock are a 20 year old design. -- Spud |

They'll be required to be externally similar (doors of the same size, in the same places, same driving controls) but can have more modern technology underneath. But, given that it won't be a huge order, Alstom must have a good chance of winning the contest, with an updated version of the 95 stock. Some of the order will be for the Jubilee line, which also needs a bigger fleet to support more frequent services. |

I refer you to the 2009 stock that they made too big to run on the piccadilly line so has to be carted in and out of northumberland park by lorry , then they go and waste the few inches of extra space with extra thick interior decor. version of the 95 stock. Some of the order will be for the Jubilee line, which also needs a bigger fleet to support more frequent services. Would be nice if they made them walk through. God knows, the northern line trains need every bit of extra space they can get in the rush hour. -- Spud |
