Default Central line to be converted to AC?

I'm not sure why you think it might be a april fools joke: both the '95 and
'96 stock have AC traction packages.

Presumably if this were to go ahead the line would have to be closed for
an extended period.


Change the traction package on a unit, and put it back in service.
Don't see why that would require closing the line. It might not
be possible to couple a DC unit and an AC unit in a single train,
but they can certainly share the same track and power rails.
