Yes, the D Stock bogie replacement is now complete. The D
Stock is now starting a body refurbishment. For other
queries on this topic, the new SSL Stock has been designed
to the A Stock gauge and Metronet are arguing with Bombardier
over it because Metronet don't want to pay for all the
infrastructure work necessary to allow the new stock to run
all over the SSL. Cars are standard 3 d/doors/side with cabs
at the ends of trains only. Wide walk-through ends will be
provided unless LU insist on end doors as per their standards.

Thanks for letting us know about this. Will you be updating your
excellent site soon to share this new knowledge?


No of trains will be:
72 x 8-cars for the Metropolitan from 2009

What sort of seats will these trains have? Presumably the stock
will all be the exact same, differing only in seating.


40 x 6-cars for Circle & H&C from 2012

78 x 7-cars for District from 2014
Again, what will the seating arrangements be?
