Jubilee Line Interior Upgrade

The DDA (Disability Discrimination Act) or more precisely Rail Vehicle Accessibility Regulations (RVAR) requires "contrasting" colours, so I presume there is sufficient contrast between the light grey poles and the dark seats/floors/bases to be acceptable. ~~~~

I agree. I was very disappointed to see the old moquette still in place. The mix of old and new doesn't look very good.

Have they just replaced damaged or threadbare moquette?

Seems from the pics, there's is one example of a back replaced & not the seat and one of the seat replaced but not the back. Could also be, as rincew1nd has said, a trial of the two bits running separately to the full jig further away.

Have to be honest, it doesn't quite look right this way. A whole carriage in either new or old moquette would be acceptable, but anything else looks a bit charity-shop to me.

Thanks-that clears it up. Still think it spoils the effect of the rest of the upgrade, but that's a personal opinion.

Personal taste, but I would have preferred a variant. I think the blue clashes terribly with the grey. Actually the Bakerloo version would have worked, as there's grey in that if my memory has it right.

This a £27 million project , it will take two and half years to compete , only one 1996 stock can be worked on at one time due to the intensive use of the Jubliee line fleet.

I am surprised that they did not go the whole way and opt for hard seats, just like on the Hong Kong Metro since 1998. I have used the Hong Kong metro, and do not find the hard seats there to be any problem for me.
Using hard seats may be a good money saving idea for TFL to try out, they are almost there with the Central line seats, might as well go the whole way and use hard seats - last far longer - and of course wipe clean in nature.

I must advise that too much grey will make the interior grim.

I think the interior looks smart. The original scheme was a bit funky for me.

The grab rails are a bit of a throw back to the proposed refurb of the 1983 stock.

I like that a lot, and prefer it to the current interior.

Annoyed that they haven't updated the DVA, there are things on there that bug the heck out of me, such as the way London Overground is said at Canada Water

Quite. They clearly seem to be going back to 'line identity', otherwise the grab bars/poles would be blue á la the 95ts. Then again, the 95ts refresh included the covering up of the superfluous door buttons... clearly money has been a bit tight in this instance, as I see very little difference besides the colour of the poles/bars and maybe the flooring, although that isn't particularly noticeable upon a cursory glance.

I kind of agree about the comments RE: DVA. I actually do not mind Celia and the original female voice (the male announcements having been complete overwritten with the former now) but it is the awkward pause between station and destination names that annoys me. "This stations is.............. Canary Wharf. Change here for the DLR." "This train terminates at............. Stratford"

Once again the refurbished set is parked up in Stratford Market... some kind of issues, perhaps?

Me too. Though it does amuse many a tourist!
