Yes there are 142 seats less...you have 306 seats and you can seat on all of them because is and end-to-end walk train. In the old trains you have access to a limited number of seats (that are in 1 carrige). So the correct comparison is there are 10 or 20 or 30 seats to 306. It' s measured car by car not by train. So the new train is like a whole carrige:)). S Stock rocks! The problem is other european cityes have trains like this before 1800 b.c. (not but still much earlier than London)
Nice video. I'm from New York City. The London Underground is a much nicer system. There are no rats or bums like in the NYC subway. I'm going to save some money so I can take a trip to England within the next 5 years.
I am an S Stock fanatic, and I travel on the metropolitan Line a lot, however since I mainly travel on the Uxbridge branch, I have not had the pleasure of riding one. Other members of my household have though, and they have, amazingly, criticized it!
so there were a train on each platform.on one platform, an old 67 stock. on the other platform a new 09 stock. if was alone i would have got the 2009 stock
3rd march was the first time i used the s stock. the exterior looks good but the interior is bland, they could have done better with the interior. the seats are smoother than the class 378's. i could feel the heater from the roof when i went on the s stock.
i prefer the s stock to the a stock but i like the purple bars on the a stock. i cant wait till when the s stock could go faster.
i could have used 2009 tube stock few weeks ago but my mum was in a rush to get home. we were at walthamstow...
Great reporting skills! i'm doing the same thing myself. but unfortunately, i'm in year 8 and i've got gcse's coming up. i'd like to hear more from you. SUBSCRIBING!!!
thanks for the video. The ride must be better than A60/62. They used the same suspension design as the 1959/62 tube stock. Nearly fell off the seat between Hammersmith and Acton. The balancing speed on level track of an A60 was 60mph although you could reach 70mph downhill. Downgraded to 50 when cracks appeard in the truck frames around 1993. Used to drive em!
the best i know with the timetable is that it makes a trip from Wembley Park up to Watford on weekdays at about 2pm, and does the return trip (first stop Croxley) at about 7pm in the evening. so just take a ride up to Watford any weekday afternoon and see if its there!
Been on this train and i hope to go on it again as it seems to run a non stop service from harrow to wembly at around 4. I didnt feel the air con and i think the seets are nice. It does squeek near the bend but i like the new announcements. Does anyone know when the roll out will be compleated?
The S Stock Trains, are in my opinion, just like the 378 Units on London Overground, badly designed with poor seating design for routes where the train can be running for over an hour like the Metropolitan and the District Line, i guess the Circle Line and Hammersmith & City wont be as bad notice as the C Stock are pretty much poorly ventilated anyway, but as someone said, if the S Stocks' Air Con breaks down, then no air avail
@bengo940 in my view the 92TS has the best interior, though it still doesnt beat the good old A60, as these new trains, as with London Overground have very short hop seating, compared to the A60/62 which has more long distance seating like Mainline trains
@grahamf19 not really a fan of 92ts interior but i think it has one of the best exterior newer small stock should have wide windows like the 92ts and similar face to the s stock
nice trains but why do the doors sound like a police siren when they open? i prefer the sound the northern line doors make when they open, theyre much quieter
The new seats are small, not as comfy. And if the air con breaks you have no ventilation as well. Less seats, and wheelchair users might as well give up on the LU as many stations have no access for users of them...
as far as i'm aware the trains that they'll roll out of the Circle/District/H&C will be the same, but with even LESS seats. yes the new seats are not as sqiushy and comfortable as on the old trains - we make that clear witt the 'snooze' part of the video.
vicki had not ever written down any train numbers ever last time i checked.
oh, and demanding that i reply quicky is never going to make me reply quickly. there IS a special 's-stock' timetable in effect right now though, yes.
@geofftech2 of course the ones for the H&C, district and circle will have less seats as they are a 7 car version of the S Stock, and possibly less than the existing D78
Thanks for a great video introduction, Vicki is a natural!. Like the S stock trains apart from the appalling seating. OK for the Circle and H&S but definately not the Met or District.
Is Viki a trainspotter and by the way me and my nephew hate the A stock i mean one thing you should have mentioned not to be rude or anything is that the A stock is comfy but the seats are filthy the S stock is clean but if you sit to hard on those seats like I found when I went inside the mock up is flumping onto the seats really hurts below the belt!
Me and my nephew hate the S stock because they are going to invade the whole Underground pretty soon although I am still determined to get a ride on one by the way is Viki a trainspotter?
Nice informative video. The new train looks good, its a shame that more people will have to stand during the morning rush but the air conditioning will be most welcome.
I loved the fact that at any speed the A stock would always soothingly rock from side to side which I miss on the S stock
