NEW London Underground 2024 stock delivery passing South Greenford

[@k1myrs]

They look very clean and modern, yet similar to all previous stock. If it’s not broken, don’t fix it. Excited to use them as a passenger next year!

[@trs4u]

Lovely bit of video! As someone who just gets on and off trains without thinking much about them, the differences in proportions were not previously obvious. Every day's a school day.

[@MichaelMacarthur-h9l]

Wagons with concrete blocks are to add extra brake force when braking as new electric units are through piped so not able to add to the train braking hence the loco on rear which will probably assist the top and tail movements.

[@neiltonks4627]

Thanks for the info: I saw a number of those wagons in the GBRF yard at Peterborough yesterday and wondered what they were for.

Are these trains hauled all the way from Vienna via the Channel Tunnel?

[@TheHoveHeretic]

Presumably, there had to be some sort of dispensation to run these units over NR tracks? Articulated stock has been common enough over the years, but bogieless carriages is entirely novel AFAIK (Anyone??)

[@junovzla]

it's common in trams and tram trains (light rail vehicles), but I had never seen it before in a heavy metro vehicle

[@bfapple]

The Sheffield trams and tram-trains are similarly arranged. Not sure about the TfW tram-trains.

[@dieseldragon6756]

If DB, NS, SNCB and SNCF can tolerate these being towed through their networks (Including a section of the LGV Nord, no less!) I'm pretty sure Network Rail can accommodate them too... 😉

[@srt.jaylan]

[@ACELog]

Why the blocks of (I presume) concrete on carriages before andafter it? I understand it came through the Channel Tunnel. It's ok - just read from another channel - it's because they're unpowered (no 3rd 4th rail) there's no brakes. So the "concrete" carriages help with that.

[@junovzla]

if they were delivered through the channel tunnel that's pretty cool talk about delivering trains by rail

[@elishabee2]

The two wagons also act as "match wagons" (aka barrier vehicle, translator vehicle) - the couplers on the underground stock are at a different level. When the stock is delivered, the two wagons are joined using the low level couplings and travel around as a pair until the next transfer.

[@ACELog]

@@elishabee2 Ah, yes - thank you, @elishabee2. That does also explain it.

[@dieseldragon6756]

@@junovzla This is standard practice for Siemens deliveries to the UK. The entire Desiro City fleet (And the Eurostar Velaros) was sent from Widenrath via TML, with no road movements involved at all. 👍 What I'd like to see is a temporary pantograph being fitted to the top of one of the new Picc trains and it being photographed passing through Lille Europe under its own power. The way Siemens build their power supply gear, this would only need a software update... 🚇🇫🇷😁

I once watched interestingly while in a Great Western Train, i think Swindon station as a diesel train towed an underground train, it might have been a Picadilly. 1 to 8 pm gmt.

[@HarishDharmapalan]

The Piccadilly line Tube stations need a platform extension to fit 9 cars.

[@nether_bat]

The new trains have cars are shorter (on average) than the current stock so a new train is approximately the same length as an old train (just with more articulation points)

[@yourfriendlyneighbourhoods8202]

They have 5 long carriages and 4 short ones. I believe they will be slightly longer than the ‘73 stock but not too a point where major platform extensions would need to take place, a few minor ones may have

[@Steve_McMillen]

Anyone know why the carriages are different lengths?

[@reececollison5101]

Yes, it’s to do with the bogeys and making the train lighter. On the ‘73 stock they have 12 bogeys, two on each carriage. These new ones have 10 bogies, 2 on each of the 5 larger carriages. Then to evenly distribute the distance of the bogeys, they inserted 5 small ‘intermediate’ cars that don’t have bogeys, to make it train lighter overall

[@junovzla]

​@@reececollison5101in case anyone's wondering why they didn't simply use Jacobs bogies (as I was) it's because the trains floor is quite low, so the wheels have to poke into the train and are hidden by the seats (that's the reason why the older stock has such an interesting arrangement of the sliding doors) and if they had used Jacobs bogies there would've had to have been a step between the carriages as the floor would have to be higher there, and given that the headroom is already pretty tight that would mean the carriages couldn't have open gangways, so they looked at tram-trains for a solution instead

Interesting question I am not an engineer I suppose each carriage receives power from third rail that propells the motors So each is autonomous.

Take two locos into the shower‽ Typical loco spotter can't help but film the engine at the front but we're here for the new tube of Smarties.

Now that I've been able to see the complete rake of the thing ~ for which I thank you ~ I'm concerned at the mean sizing of the windows. All very modern in its sleek look design, but it's not going to be as comfortable with such low and low in actual height of the windows.
