WITH THE NEW S STOCK ARRIVING (IN PLATFORM 7 2/3rd's AFTER MANY YEARS DELAY DUE TO THE WRONG TYPE OF SEAT COVERING I SUPPOSE) SOON, I THOUGHT IT WAS ABOUT TIME I POINTED OUT SOME OF MY PET HATES ABOUT CURRENT TRAINS IN THE HOPE THAT SOMEONE MIGHT TAKE NOTE OF WHAT GOOD AND BAD TASTE IS.1, I CANT STAND THAT BLACK/DARK GREY BAND THAT IS PAINTED ON THE FRONT OF SOME TRAINS, IT MAKES THE TRAIN MORE UNNOTICEABLE, AWFUL AND UNATTRACTIVE,IF THEY DO IT BECAUSE THEY THINK IT MAKES THE CAB WINDOWS DEEPER THEN THEY HAVE NOT FOOLED ME!
SO THE WHOLE TRAIN FRONT MUST BE RED (THINK GOOD OLD 1938 TUBE STOCK)
2, SOME TRAINS HAVE THE SEAT BAYS (1992 CENTRAL LINE) TOO FAR CLOSE TO THE OPPOSITE ONE, I THOUGHT LU WANTED TRAINS TO HAVE AS MUCH STANDING ROOM AS POSSIBLE
3, THE NEW S STOCK LOOKS LIKE IT MIGHT HAVE TOO MANY AWFUL SHARP CORNERS ESP AROUND THE DOOR WINDOWS.
IN THE BOOK UNDERGROUND MOVEMENT CRE'ACTIVE DESIGNED A TRAIN WHERE THE DOOR WINDOWS ARE A NICE CIRCLE WHEN THE DOORS ARE CLOSED.
IM ENDING HERE FOR NOW BUT IF I OR ANYONE ELSE CAN THINK OF ANYTHING NICE OR ANNOYING ABOUT TUBE TRAIN DESIGN THEN PLEASE POST A COMMENT.
I think maybe PRJB will be the best person to reply to this. ;D
Why in all capital letters, are you annoyed ?
I personally do not like the current stock, but I am from a past era were numbers of passengers were not so many. From the drivers point of view they are more comfortable and easier to operate.
