After reading much about the NTfl, I am curious to know some information
I have read that the 72 will be replaced sometime between 2027 and 2035, now as what usually happens, upgrades are usually delayed. My question is lets say its 2032 and the new trains have only just begun running on the picaddily, or whatever the case be, let us say the 72 stock is still very much in operation. The stock will be 60 years old, isnt this illegal to some extent to be running on the metro system of one of the busiest cities in the world? Maybe not illegal but im sure many would become aware of their age and LU would become under increased pressure, or be heavily critised. What would happen in this case? If someone who understands LU procedures could explain! I remember they wanted the a stock out for the olympics! The case on the bakerloo will be even worse as the line is busier than the metropolitan!
