So by your last comment should all stock be tube stock and of a length
that
will fit in the shortest platform on the network?

Well obviously not given the huge size difference. But here we're merely
talking about the odd half inch here or there than would make NO
difference to
the carrying capacity of the fleet but would have made it far more
flexible
operationally. After all , Upminster is just as far out as Amersham from
central london so who's to say the A stock might never have been used on
that
route?

Upminster's a lot closer in than Amersham - Upminster's about 17 miles from
Trafalger Square, Amersham's more like 24 miles. Plus Upminster's in zone 6,
Amersham's in zone D.
