What was the train I got on today on the District Line?

Outside, it was in the white and blue colours. It was kind of
Victoria Line shape and size (not the bigger-looking D(?)-stock.)

Inside, it had green grab rails which I have never seen before
(more than usual too), it had Central Line-type door buttons, and
it had orange dot-matrix displays like the Picc ones, but these
were in the middle of the cars hanging transverally above the
corridor.

It certainly wasn't brand-new, but I've never seen it before.

What was it?


It sounds extremely like the refurbished D stock train. Are you sure
you're right about the shape and size.


No, I'm not sure at all - and don't even know if my use of the phrase D
-stock was correct!

Ah no, that *is* that I meant, but maybe as Richard said, the livery
change put me off recognition-wise!

Cheers to you and all others who answered.
