Refurbished Central line train in central section + announcements 

Tbh i dont have too much of a problem with them, at least the trains are more reliable now

The motors sound like the victoria line motors

@@FigureMahdavithat’s cause they pretty much are they have very similar design and are now both ac motors

It was inspired the older moquettes, it does look much better than the blue one (barman I think it's called?9

This is the first testing phase the whole line will be replaced by the mid-end of 2025 the main worker for this change confirmed it

It’s unfortunate but having a display to read what’s being said is an overwhelmingly positive change for accessibility

Train 132, leading carriage 91001 and 92001

@@tuqeOf course but it's only the "next station is" mesages on there really, which you can see when pulling into any station anyway. Important update announcements that the driver might say never get shown on them. I think the main issue I was getting at though is just how much space it's taking up, the display covers like 10% of the dropped wall/covered window area, it just seems like so much window was unessesarily covered. Consiering they had the trains completely stripped out it just seems like the system was designed inefficiantly, it's just a dot matrix display. I used to repair the platform ones and they really don't take much. Thanks for the train number though railwaymedia. Will check if its nearby when im waiting for a central line train next

​@@railwaymedialondonWill 132 always be attached to this specific refurbished train?

What happened to you?

@@lucalai8436 cope

There’s just 1 unit. Right now it’s running on Mondays through Wednesday but that’s subject to change

@@railwaymedialondon Okay. Cheers

They may be run on the stock transfer paths in the morning and evening peaks on Mon-Thu

Their refurbing these at a fair rate, they're getting one converted every 3-4 weeks on average. I drive trucks (logistics) delivering parts for the refurbs taking place

@@yosmosonic On any part of the line?

On TSW4 yes

@@flox1514 What?

@@flox1514On TSW4? There is no Central Line route on there...

This seems to run every Monday and Tuesday as train 132

They won't know until he spot them

Bro isn't me

yup only the ac motors sound good

It has some form of regen already. But yes maybe a more efficient form may make it cooler.

It's not going to cool down, it's just going to heat up less

It's going to fix the life of the trains. The vehicles had been sick with the dc ones

@@Great_WesternTVFanHm, well maybe we have to find out if they preferred the dc motor sound in real life if that’s the only cases.

@@railwaymedialondon can I have a link please

Intertube website

@@railwaymedialondon for the intertube website, is it shown as #001 or #132?

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

@@railwaymedialondon re-read my final sentence.

@@roglaker9353I don’t actually understand what you’re talking about

Instead of eg "This is a Central line train to ..." it would Instead be "This is a westbound Central line train to ..."

This particular train was scheduled to stable in Ruislip depot via Ruislip Gardens

Its due to the new motors being AC and not DC so probably the same motors as used on the s stock and 09 stock

One of the head workers for the project confirmed that they changed the engines to 2009/s stock engines for smoother rides

AC motors for you. More reliable and quieter.

They may be more reliable, but nothing beats the original, in my opinion.

@@frcdanoob9537 Less power consumption aswell

It's not only two trains, all the non refurbished 1992 stocks are getting changed to refurbished and will be out around next year

They are all breaking down TfL needed as solution and these are much more reliable then the old ones

???

because it's a prototype, when final testing is finished all the stock will be overhauled.

@@MannyAntipov is it? Ibe noticed 2 actually, so i was slightly wrong. 92 stock 91001 and 91201 or something like that

Only one exists

what do you mean by "still"?

Ugh its FAILING!

So it doesn’t crash into the train in front

Its most likely permanent

Wrong, it's temporary ​@@user-acs64

@@FarmYardGamingI’ve also heard they’re temporary but what are they being replaced with?

@@reececollison5101 Nobody knows for sure who'll be voicing it but they're planning to get a female voice from what I've heard

It’s great that the announcements are in Japanese too! 😂

They are just temporary announcements and will be changed to a female voice later.

@@AmandaBjurkvist What is your source for this info?

​@@rossmarks7856The new announcements are confirmed permanent

@@Daniellovesbusesandtrains That's a huge shame.

​@@rossmarks7856Through a Freedom of Information request for tube announcements (which includes audio files for both the new announcements for the Bakerloo and central) contains a txt file specifying that they're temporary and they will be looking into finding a female voice over artist

Me

Me thay are not the same

Nope that was absolutely nothing for the ac motors traction sounds but the dc motors tractions sounds are much more better.

This is real life.

what?

@@ImpossibleRai the people in the background

No they are probably tourists

Oh right

Stratford in is North East London, UK, Liverpool Street is in Central London, Ruislip Gardens is in west London
