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. Going by IIRC Bombardier's website, a severe amount of dimensional customisation is available with their Movia designs. 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. Not quite that simple - as in e.g. Mk3 stock, shaving the corners can make a fair difference as can the interface between doorways and platforms (if not limiting considerations to LU). |
