I have been told that some tests were done in traffic hours to see if

Wikipedia says:

" Unlike the 1967 stock, the trains will be built to take advantage
of the Victoria Line's unusually large loading gauge (for a deep tube
line). However, this will prevent them leaving the line except by
road." is wrong?

Is this statement wrong, then?

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_...und_2009_Stock

Perhaps in response to your question, someone has changed the Wikipedia page
to say:
"... It was expected this would prevent them leaving the line except by
road, however London Underground have since tested running the trains along
the Piccadilly Line to Baron's Court using the connection from the Victoria
Line at Finsbury Park. The result of this trial is unclear."
