Storage of London tube stock?

Precedent might suggest that it will be whatever is destined for the Isle of Wight in about 2050. Don't joke! I couldn't believe the way in which the 1938 stock's bodywork has deteriorated in the past few years - huge patches of rust right the way along the solebar and over the roof. The refurbishment and repaint looks very pretty, but you really get the feeling they're papering (or painting!) over the cracks... Remind me again - why couldn't they send the old Jubilee stock to the Island, or tack on an order for (say) 8 2-car units to the end of the Victoria Line production run? Probably the effect of sea spray on modern underfloor electronics while trundling along Ryde Pier. See Voyagers and Dawlish for similar problems... Paul |
