I have now; Wikipedia unfortunately appears to be pretty light on detail
about what was wrong with them.
Some other sources:
There were a number of plans for their reuse, one of which was to adapt
them for the Piccadilly Line, but a number of technical problems were
encountered, not least the matter of alignment of the doors with platforms
That doesn't make any sense - the picc doesn't have platform doors so what
are they supposed to align with?
Future platform doors matched to later stock which wouldn't have
repeated the door pattern ?
The other door alignment problem could be the driver's ability to see
the ATO stopping mark; IIRC there was no view directly to the side of
the driver's seat on 1983TS.
