So they’re just refurbishing the trains and installing cctv on them? I suppose that’s a lot cheaper than getting brand new trains but they are doing that anyways with the New Tube for London so I’m a bit confused?

Yes



[The first of the newly refurbished
Central line trains has been back out on the line today
as it completes live testing while based
at the Hainault depot.

Although there are a lot of changes,
the most visible will be the new seat
pattern moquette,
likely to be called Tuppeny — after the
Central line’s early nickname of the
Tuppeny Tube because of the
low cost of the fare.
The pattern on the moquette shows
the classic tube roundel,
but also the older diamond “roundel” that
was in use on parts of the
London Underground managed
by the Metropolitan line.]
