2009 Stock loading gauge

wrote: Anyway the later pages of this thread on District Dave suggests that the Vic line stock will be delivered by rail to Ruislip depot and will then run via the Metropolitan and Piccadilly lines to reach the Victoria line, and also that there have already been gauging test runs to determine if this route will be possible (see in particular the third post down by 'towerman'): http://districtdave.proboards39.com/...976388&page=10 So if this goes to plan the trains might not be able to run on other tube lines in service (though really why would they need to?) but it will be possible to move them by rail on and off the network. If that's correct then fine. The ability to move them about in non passenger service if / when needed is the main thing. I just think it is daft to move trains by road when it's perfectly sensible to shift them by rail if at all possible. -- Paul C Admits to working for London Underground! |
