I believe trailer car 17008 was the prototype refurbishment for the D stock. The design of seating moquette in it was also used on un-refurbished D stocks. But when fully refurbished trains came into service, they had a blue moquette. Is 17008 still running with the older design, or has it been replaced?

17008 has indeed received the same blue/green moquette as on all other refurbs.
Despite returning from Derby on 21March it has STILL to re-enter service!! The last one outstanding.

It has certainly entered service now, as I saw it yesterday morning on T107 in Dagenham East bay road.

One thing I noticed the other day was that the end windows in the UNDM look a little smaller than the trailing ends-am I seeing things?

That is the same on all single ended units, not just that particular one  Unit 7008 was already discussed (with pictures) from this post in this thread. |

Does 17008 really have motors? Are there photos of the car below the solebar?

That is because there are shunting controls in the ends of UNDMs.
I read that 17008 was put on motor bogies for some reason, but it must be on trailer bogies if it is in service now.

I believe the reason for it being on motor bogies was they had run out of the other kind!
