I have noticed a very dribs and drabs approach to refurbishing central line trains. Today I saw a train with a new roof (white and shiny) and a different train with new ventilation grills in the cars.
They have had new 'undercarriages' several years ago, new windows and seats pre Olympics.
Surely this bit by bit approach can't be the most efficient?
It probably costs the same in the end?

Probably a case of patch up the bits that are most likely to fall apart!

I suppose that the high fleet utilisation of the 92TS means that they can't afford to take trains out for a rolling programme of full refurbishment, and so the most 'refurbishment' that can be done is limited to what can be done overnight or in other scheduled maintenance.

Incidentally, the ventilation grills I saw were of a different design - they had 'wings' sticking upwards throughout the length of the grill. Was this just the ventilation grill that was replaced, or was more work done underneath?
