New 'S-Stock' trains are being rolled out to the Metropolitan Line, and so tubegeek extraordinaire Geoff Marshall with video camera in hand and Vicki Pipe go out on the network to track down the new train and compare the difference between old and new.

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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

  • RIP 1967 A stock

  • 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)

  • Vicki is so cute :]

  • i would.

  • This is a well-done video, whether S stock trains are better or not. It was easy to see differences between two.

    I think I like the older one, by the way.

  • цеа

  • I love to have a ride on these new trains. :-) Hopefully I should when I go to London in a couple of weeks time to connect en-route to Yorkshire.

  • I think I just came into shot at 5:23 boarding the Uxbridge.
