1972 stock replacement date

[JonathanH]

I did read in one magazine that bakerloo line needs to have hew stock before 2029 as the 1972 stock as it stands did nor have permission to run beyond that date

Who is giving the permission? Could they just extend that permission having conducted an inspection of the fleet?

Which they could grant, i suspect it might depend on the status of the replacements.

I think we'll see an add on for the bakerloo line

We seen elsewhere what happens when life expired rolling stock is prolonged such as the Class 483s so I think keeping the 1972 stock going until the 2030s is something TfL doesn't want to do,

And there's an enormous difference in importance between a sleepy route trundling across the IoW and a London tube line!

I'm 100% sure that a follow on order will happen, to immediately follow the 2024s on the production line. I imagine the Tories didn't want to provide funds before the Mayoral election and potentially give Sadiq credit, so it's either be done before the general election so that they can get some "levelling up" electoral benefit for the Goole plant, or it'll happen when the next government comes into power.

Probably depends who becomes Mayor.

Probably depends who becomes Mayor.

Which (despite the regression to FPTP) has remained the incumbent.
