A frequent sight of short forms to come...

There was the reign of a COO that did not want to hold any 'unnecessary spares' or keep any 'unnecessary capability' between the scrapping of 1972Mk.1/1967TS and today though. There also (was) some very good fleet engineers and maintainers who in the last 10 years or so have left the company...

Nowt from 73TS fits 72TS. Even the push buttons and whatnot are mostly different…

And as has been said a lot, and I mean a lot of times. 1973TS will not fit on the Bakerloo in general service.

Depot space would proberbly be lacking to keep either of them on as an extra fleet. Because the amazing idea was done to not build the 810s their own depot in Chaddesden so that Etches could focus on Turbostars

How many times are we going to have this written when it’s been disproven in the thread…?

Potentially being stored before scrap prices increase…?

Yeah the LED lighting on 1992TS for CLIP is very different.

I’d hardly say its luck that Hitachi are late with something…

They usually are, but they serve Costa products so that rules out edibility…

CLIP in one form or another has been going on for around 12 years now though…

The options have expired

Last I knew the new DVA on 1972TS is just a 1992TS DTS “lite” mode.

Train #1 was supposed to be done by 2017…(!)

Except that would be a flood of housing into an area already flush with new development
