Request ID: FOI-3441-2223 Date published: 11 April 2023
You asked
Hello, I am writing this request to gain more information on the interiors of the Central Line 1992 stock fleet currently being refurbished as part of the Central Line Improvement Program, to get a visual idea of what to expect when the first refurbished trains enter passenger service.
I am looking for photos and videos of the interiors of any trains that have been refurbished or are currently undergoing refurbishment, as recent as possible, even if the refurbishment is not yet fully completed.
In particular, I am looking for videos (or photos) of the new PIS screens in action, the new accessible bays, the new CCTV cameras, and video of the upgraded audio announcement system in action, to hear the improvements to audio clarity which have been made. If any of this is unavailable, I would like to see any photos at all of the interiors of the 1992 stock trains during the refurbishment.
Thanks for your consideration.
