Are the H&C and Circle stocks going to be replaced at the same time?

I wonder if it has got strap hangers? Yes. There is another thread right here. |

The seats look a little narrow to me - with fixed armrests. Larger ladies might find them difficult to use and prefer to stand.

It'll be interesting to see it out on the railway! I wonder if people will get confused between trains now on the top half of the Circle ;D. |

That'll look quite funny looking down an emptyish train, all those yellow handles swinging about! |

The seats look a little narrow to me - with fixed armrests.... All S Stock seats are narrow and the armrests certainly exacerbate the problem - indeed I have seen several people struggle to get in and out of them. However, to my mind, the worst thing is the positioning of the grab poles which are far too close to the seats and right in your face making it difficult to read a paper. They also bring the standing passengers uncomfortably close. On the positive side the padding is firm and supportive, and far more comfortable than the old A Stock bouncy seats. |

The S stock seats are ok, but only for medium length (don't ask to define medium!) journeys but I love the cosy A stock seating.  |
