Considering the fact that these trains are still babies, maybe it would make more sense for us all to sit back and analyse it over a period of years (as you suggest above) instead of ravenously jumping on every reported fault as if it's the end of creation. Naysaying our own seems to be a peculiarly British trait, and not a particularly pleasant one. Here here ;D ;D |

Yes, I think I read that it was found that a certain bracket on the 1927 cars would vibrate at speed causing the doors to pop open. There is a wonderful description in the 1938 stock story by Piers Conner, well worth a read. Yes indeed. And when LT had worked out the cause (by a staff member cursing and kicking the faulty bracket), they took all of the affected trains out of service on a Friday evening, worked on them over the weekend, and had the modified (and safe) trains back in service by Monday morning. I hate to think what today's Elfen Safety people would make of these procedures. |

Does anyone else find the smooth areas of the floor covering on the S stock excessively slippery when even only slightly wet? (The ribbed areas near the doors seem OK)
