    • @uhohadam

    • @borassictime918
      @borassictime918 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +15

      The Siemens units have incredibly uncomfortable seats - a bed of nails would have more give in it. The interior decor is more drab and depressing than a 1960s kitchen sink drama, and they also have to be operated as 12 car units all the time, which is incredibly inefficient. Apart from that they’re great.

And that that significant investment has led to a significant investment in a new train manufacturing plant at the East Yorkshire town of Goole! I really do hope that the plant and its new jobs for local people in Goole are secured by a further significant investment by London Underground to build a fleet of brand spanking new trains for the Bakerloo Line. A line in desperate need of new trains to replace the ageing current 72TS🙂

    The 2024 Tube stock looks amazing but I should say the number of times I came to London from Australia, the 1973 Tube stock always had a place in my mind since 2011 and will never be forgotten when they are fully replaced. Gonna miss them heaps, but at least they will have a few years left in them

    Once the new trains are in service, I will definitely look for 1896 every time I ride on the Piccadilly Line. Then I'll remember that I saw that unit under construction on Geoff's video. I only come to London occasionally, by way of Heathrow. I either go to Hounslow Central to stay in a hotel. Or even if I transfer terminals, if I have enough time, I do it landside on the Piccadilly line.

    Cant wait to see these trains in action, as someone who lives at Finsbury park I always take the victoria line and pass on the piccadilly just out of convenience and change later on e.g green park, because the 09 stock is much faster, but when these trains roll out the 09s will look at bit older in comparison! No doubt there will be some competition there, with ATO the picc will be one of the new most reliable and efficient lines.

    As a passenger, having cool air blowing on my head sounds pleasant. But a 'hot air rises' simplification suggests those floor vents aren't going to be pulling out the warmest air.

    I also hope that whenever the new Bakerloo line trains come out, they’ll feature brown poles inside the train, in order to match the line colour

    • @morzee94
      @morzee94 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      New trains since 2010 have been built with elements like grab poles in contrasting colours, usually yellow, for the benefit of people with visual impairments. It's part of the Rail Vehicle Accessibility Regulations but old stocks are grandfathered in so don't need to be adapted outside of a major refurb.

    Hi Geoff. I dare say I'm being a little dim here: how are the bogie-less cars supported. By being supported by the cars bogies, maybe, but then how do the connections/supports bend to get around curves?

    I am loving the hard work and effort to get these new trains out into service. But can anyone let me know if the new piccadilly line trains will turn the line into a sauna like the New York Subway. (For context, in NYC, the subway system in the summer gets really hot on the platforms because of the hot air that is exhausted out of the train.) I hope that this won't happen and TFL has a way of dealing with this issue.
    thanks for reading a lengthy comment :D
