According to wonkypedia the new S stock is 9 foot 7 wide which is about 5
inches wider than the class 378 NR stock on which its based, so the tradition
is being continued. Assuming the entry is correct of course.

I don't believe that the S stock is based on the 378s, which are an
Electrostar variant. Where did you read that they were? The S stock
is probably closer to its fellow Movia 2009 tube stock.

Can't remember offhand. I think I read it in one of the railway mags.
Still, its quite wide, though with the low floors the doors curve in at
the bottom and I don't reckon that'll be a comfortable place to stand in
crush conditions.

It can be wider as the carriages are shorter.
