Yes, but the 73TS trailer in the centre has been subject to VERY heavy conversion work, including around the bogies, completely different couplers and is subject to a different maintenance regime on it's secondaries compared with the main 73TS fleet.The middle car of the TRV is a 73 stock, which has similar length cars to 96 stock. I seem to remember 83 stock visited the Bakerloo at some point test purposes.
Clearly some level of work would be required.
It is for all purposes a 73TS trailer in name only.

The mid of them ones significantly changes the characteristics of the vehicle on curves. And indeed the Central Line is more onerous than most of the Bakerloo Line and it's very much a main stay on that line.
One should also look carefully at the carriage end and parts of the sole bar some time...
