I think this stock should also be on the Bakerloo Line

@hakc97isback

This stock was specially built for the Victoria Line so will only fit its tunnels... and not other deep level tube lines. The trains are too big.

The Bakerloo will be getting new walk-through trains. That is if rising sea levels (2ft expected by 2017) do not create flooding problems for the entire system.

Not also that but also the Victoria Line could extend to Woodford or South Woodford in Northeast London and to West Croydon, East Croydon, Herne Hill and Crystal Palace.

@andyncfcgetshypedup

The Victoria Line cannot extend anywhere, as it barely manages to cope with existing passenger numbers!

It is possible that the Epping Branch of the Central Line will become part of the Chelsea - Hackney Line, in the process being converted back to 'larger' trains.

If Bombardier did made the Movia 2009 tube stocks for the Victoria Line then they should also built it for the Central Line, Bakerloo Line & Waterloo & City Lines to replace the older stocks except Northern & Jubilee Lines because those tube trains on the Northern & Jubilee Lines are awesome & very quick.

@andyncfcgetshypedup

Northern Line trains are anything but quick! Indeed, they are noticeably slower than the trains they replaced, which as a (sometimes) passenger is like torture. In part this is because of their being restricted to something like 60% power, which also applied to the Jubilee Line trains until that line had its ATO working.

The next fleet of 'tube' sized trains in London will probably be based on the fully walk-through 'space train' concept.

A good clip. Made me feel as if I was there in the train. One thing... I am happy that our Delhi Metro is also good as compared to this ,in view of the fact that it carries far far more passengers per day.( 1.6 million per day average ).. And Delhi metro is equally clean despite such a huge load.

most of the 67 stock goes to scrap/recycling the carriage or unit that the queen rode on when the line opened will be preserved. as for the 09 stock yes they can run a lot faster, however london underground has a set regulation for acceleration of there trains for passenger comfort levels so if unlimited they can run a whole lot faster, they just never will reach there full potential.

does anyone know whats gonna happen to the 67 stock now?

[citytransportinfo]

Tomorrow (30th June 2011) is the last day of the 67's. Then the line can have the old automated control systems switched off and the trains can start using regenerative (instead of rheostatic / brake shoe) braking, which hopefully will help reduce the oven-like temps. in the tunnels.

I still think that they should have gone for the fully articulated 'space train' concept.

As you say, the interiors are very brash and very clinical. I think the seat moquette pattern does not help here.
