Just before I had a few days off (which has given me plenty of time to forget where I saw the darned thing so can't link) I saw something, somewhere, which suggested tube stock about to be taken out of service (or has been) could be refurbished and redesigned to run off overhead cables and used on the Manchester/Bolton/Preston line.
It's obvioulsly rubbish and I must have has a several when I found that on line and was delerious m'lud.
But - hang on - if it could be done is it such a bad idea, and should it happen??
EDIT BTW I'd love to see some ex-tube stock up here. Older the better!!
EDIT 2; I wasn't hallucinating.....http://www.manchestereveningnews.co...mind-doors-manchester-commuters-could-8645131
Has this been mentoned previously on this very long thread??
