The interior design and perhaps the announcers are the only good things about these refurbished trains, the AC motors sound Crap, I prefer the old Traction Motors
Rumour has it they’re going to fit the Bakerloo line with new traction motors soon as well. They’ve already tested one with new dot matrix screens. This shows how desperate TFL are now. They’ve blown their budget on replacing the 1973 stock. Even then, only half of the line will be equipped with brand new trains to run alongside the 1973 stock for a long time to come.
9-month-old replacement of 1st ever robo shuttle, being the only structly-sightseeing rapid transit to have ever existed (Summer Seasons '67 thru '72): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-iGS5H-CgjCQ.html ;)
Every platform on every line at every station on the system is differentiated by direction - eastbound, northbound, etc. Never understood why the addition of just that one extra word in the announcements is apparently such a problem. And the announced direction can change in synch with the direction shown on the platforms along the route eg Piccadilly line from southbound to westbound etc.
Doesn't the bound of the trains change if you're at different points? I think the Piccadilly line is north and south bound at Finsbury Park but east and west bound at Acton Town
I want to see what’s does it look like when Refurbished Central Line train arrives Tottenham Court Road towards the east, I guess it will be more faster than the Normal 1992 stock
