Does anyone know, why the Island line was third rail in the first place?
Given that is/was entirely self contained and the only stock on it would be ex-LU tube stock, why wasn't it laid for fourth rail?
Even if the fourth rail was simply bonded to the running rails it would have avoided the necessity of conversion work.
