Yes, but the '73 stock is narrower than both the '67 and '09 stock,
the overhand at the corners depends on both the length, the width and
the positions of the bogies on the cars.


Whatever the reason, to me it seems daft to have built a train to large to
be able to run on any other tube line and can't even be rail hauled to its
depot. And then instead of using the tiny amount of extra space the larger
size has gained they waste it with thick walls and door pillars. Common
sense was in short supply when the 2009 trains were designed IMO.
