any news on 5087 or 5000 to go? 5000 would be a major disappointment if it were to go

why did the gospel oak line get trains with fully longitudinal seats whereas the rest of the lines didnt? Rather unfair on all the other routes perhaps?

the stock is now 20 years old, almost all other stock thatreceived a refurb happened around that age completely changing the interior looks. Its odd that the W and C trains look so much newer than the much more intensively used central line ones!

tbh i think that the setup of the stock dva on the met is very good, announcing the interchange on the way only is nice, rather than hearing it on the way and at the station, would be very annoying, especially for the met

at the moment the s8s are limited, the acceleration is quite slow, however when the s7s come into use will the have faster acceleration? it seems at the moment c and d stocks are quicker of the mark than the s8s!

can anyone explain what the reason is that the introduction of s stock is taking so long for?! i mean when the 09 stock started on the vic trains were coming in every 2 weeks from 2010, so why hasnt the same thing happened with the s stock since 2011? dont see how they plan having all trains in service within the next 6 months!

were these trains restricted in performance to match the 1983 stock in any way? its hard to remember as the 83ts left so quick

i guess today is the first day we can officially say that the a stock has started to be replaced
s stock now runs to aldgate in regular service? so i assume the A's are going to start going at a much quicker rate?

im from pinner and to be honest, i agree, they are empty!
wouldnt it be a better idea to alternate the chesham and amersham trains by one fast and one slow?

Post by A60stock on May 19, 2011 20:00:13 GMT
yes i think the wembley park stop should be omitted completely! i also think graeme186 timetable is a very good idea!
also when you say delayed at ricky to let another chiltern through, how does the chiltern get past the chesham train?

Post by A60stock on May 19, 2011 19:58:24 GMT
so how many are in regular service now, theres still hardly any about so i dont see how they plan to have them all in service for the end of 2011

what about at least the stations where the DMI's are already installed?
|
|
|
Post by A60stock on May 14, 2011 20:43:29 GMT
would anyone have any pictures of old and new trains running together at the time of replacement?
also on saying that, wasnt there much complaint or arguement over the fact that the old trains were 7 car formation and that the new ones were 6 car? surely thats a step back and reducing capacity

with the 72ts expected to last till around 2020, what changes can we expect to see on them? in terms of anything, even the dva

what i see but on other lines the outer parts all have DMIs that tell you about the next 3 trains

Post by A60stock on May 11, 2011 18:46:45 GMT
why is it that the stations north of harrow on the hill do not have DMI's that tell you the whereabouts of the next 2-3 trains?
All other lines have dmi's on all parts of them that show you this. it only seems to be this section of the met tht doesnt and the uxbridge branch.

yes it does on the s8 on the met line there are!

Post by A60stock on May 11, 2011 16:33:12 GMT
when the whole line is complete, will the trains accelerate faster?
|
|

Post by A60stock on May 11, 2011 16:32:10 GMT
the maps on the met line trains currently show that semi fast trains cannot go to amersham, now isnt this confusing for many people as when a semi fast amersham turns up many keep asking how it could possibly go to amersham as there is no link from the locals to amersham shown on the map!
even the s stock maps havent corrected this, why not!?

Post by A60stock on May 11, 2011 16:22:03 GMT
but the whole point of the met would be to have a compromise wouldnt it? having a few more seat would be handy,
however the 2009 stock is not walk through, surely at least it wouldve made sense to have automatic doors at least between the carriages?

Post by A60stock on May 11, 2011 16:07:33 GMT
many pros and cons, tbh i think the s stock is going to be alot better than people make it out to be. i mean the other day i had a large suitcase, and was dreading the fact at how hard it would be to take it through the a stock while getting a seat. However an s stock turned up, much more space and i still got a seat.
However i still do wonder why the s stock doesnt have just a little more traverse seating on it?

i was wondering, if one was to compare the journey from lets say, amersham to baker street, in the 60's to the same journey in 2011, what differences would there be?
by this i mean a comparison in the A stock, would they have been as bouncy/sluggish as they are now? how would acceleration be? and also top speeds?

if we had to put in order, the reliability of all stocks currently in operation on the network, from most reliable to least, what order would they go in?
id say first is the d stock
|

|
Post by A60stock on May 1, 2011 14:26:00 GMT
is that the actual reason they are being replaced later? for a fact that the 67ts are less sluggish than the a stock makes me wonder that really the s stock shouldve been delivered first before the 2009ts
|
|
|
Post by A60stock on May 1, 2011 13:16:10 GMT
you say life expired and noisy but then again whats the reason for them being replaced before the a60 stock? is it because the a60 stock is in better nick than the 67ts?
