They're both built by Bombardier in the Derby factory at the same time, but the designs are different. For example, the 378 carriages are longer but they have fewer doors. The 378s are the latest incarnation of the now quite long-running ElectroStar series, whereas the S Stock is part of the Bombardier Movia family, like its cousin, the 2009 stock. You'll be able to compare them side-by-side in a year or two on the Richmond branch. S Stock won't be on the District Line for quite some time (2020?). I figured that S Stock would initially start running on the Metropolitan Line as the C and D stock haven't quite reached the end of their longevity. Yes, the switchover will be in alphabetical order. |
