North London Line goes 4-car in early 2011

Nonetheless, that is a lot of expensive work for 45 years old trains. AIUI several Victoria Line units have a 1972 stock cab on the inner end, and several Bakerloo units are double ended, so quite a few extra single-ended 1972 stock units can be created with nothing more than re- marshalling (No idea about figures). More so because the Bakerloo line also gets a signalling upgrade at some stage (which again I think ties in with the service alteration) and that means further conversion. Not due to be completed until 2019, and if it's done like the Victoria Line was they'll just have both systems running in parallel, requiring no changes to the trains. I'm pretty sure the Watford extension is due long before then. U -- http://londonconnections.blogspot.com/ |
