I'm sure some people could manage, but the point is that it would reduce the
amount of standing room. In the rush hour its awkward to stand next to the
doors in S stock
I don't find that. In general, indeed, I find myself picking at little
things to find anything to criticise about the S-stock. It's made me go
from avoiding the shallow Tube to actively choosing it, if there is a viable choice.
Yes, I'm a fan if the S stock, too. They seem very smooth, quiet trains as
they speed along the Met, and I've even got to tolerating the hard seats.
So very different to the ear-splitting compressors and lurching suspension
on the A stock.
That was part of the experience, though.
