Default Why the piccadilly to Heathrow , why not the District?

If you look at the dimensions of the trains (I did find a web site
with this info but I can't find it now , typical) , I think A-stock is
only about 9cm wider than the others, which is only 4.5 on a side ,
not a whole hell of a lot really.


sorry for the length!

Why don't people look these things up in the standard sources? Hardy (2002
edition) has this table (I've left out the lengths):

(mm)
Stock Width Height
1967 2642 2877
1972 2642 2877
1973 2630 2880
1992 2620 2869
1995 2630 2875
1996 2630 2875
A60/62 2946 3689
C69/77 2920 3687
D 2850 3620

Glover's Ian Allan London Underground (1997) has similar dimensions and
those for the 1983 stock.
