That’s crazy that this was tweeted in 2018. 12 years for arguably a necessary and urgent update.
Talk about your nominative determinism.
For a second I thought it was a late April’s fool joke but nope!
That’s no longer the expected case due to lack of funding for new rolling stock, instead the refurbishment/life extension works programme for the existing 1992 stock has significantly increased in scope to keep them from falling apart and make them compliant with current accessibility requirements.
The 1992 stock is expected to remain in service until 2042.
I know Sol, he make amazing Beer to cool me down on a hot day.
So I guess he might know a thing or two about cooling us down in Central Line
I remember that tweet. We were in the middle of a heatwave, and as you can see the tweet was in the late morning. There was a guy in the replies saying “surely they mean 20h30, right? RIGHT?!?”
I laughed a bit too loud at work that day!
Translation: live-saving measures might be taken but certainly not soon. Meanwhile, we blow harder. Cheers! S.O.L.
Crazy I remember when this tweet was posted, hard to believe it’s been 7 years.The outrage on Twitter was hilarious but justified
Bonus points for his name being Sol. Can’t make it up
