I have been told that some tests were done in traffic hours to see if
the 09 stock would fit through the 'pipe' from Finsbury Park to Barons
Court which apparently was successful although they would need a full
possession to do it as the 09s aren't tripcock fitted.

Wikipedia says:

" Unlike the 1967 stock, the trains will be built to take advantage of the
Victoria Line's unusually large loading gauge (for a deep tube line).
However, this will prevent them leaving the line except by road." is wrong?

Is this statement wrong, then?
