I completely agree. The A Stock just don't fit the modern needs of the commuter. They are too squashed in peak times with everyone trying to squeeze onto the transverse seats, normally I just stand. The S Stock allow you to keep your personal space while also increasing capacity. If you want a train like an A Stock head to a main line and not an Underground line  |

Surely not? They still run fast trains don't they ? Is London Overground considered to be a tube line or a main line?

Yeah, quite a strange arrangement. People complain about the seating there but it really is needed on the North London Line service. Perhaps in the future a tube style service could be operated? That's another story.....
