I got to ride on a 2009 stock train on the victoria line recently.

Was it designed by complete morons or were they partial morons who had
help from the London School of ****wittery?

The doors are the external type so the walls could be quite thin allowing more
space as they don't have to provide space for the doors to fit in. So can
someone explain why the walls are the thickest I've ever seen on a tube train?
Must be 5 or 6 inches easily. And not satisfied with wasting almost a foot of
space already they then mount the seats 2 inches from the walls. So instead of
having the seats flush against a thin wall allowing a nice wide isle with
maximum space it actually looks like theres a bit less space in the seating
area than in a 67 stock.

Can LU and its train builders ever get anything right?

I didn't think anything on LU could be worse than the Jubilee stock,
but maybe they've managed it.

I've mentioned in the past how the walls are getting thicker and
thicker, with chunky obstructions where people need to lean, and
wondered if the trains will eventually be solid with just enough space
inside to put the electric wires through.
