London Underground rolling stock
London Underground trains come in two sizes,
larger sub-surface trains and smaller deep-tube trains. Since the early 1960s
all passenger trains have been Electric Multiple Units (EMUs) with sliding doors
and a train last ran with a guard in 2000. All lines use fixed length trains
with between six and eight cars, except for the Waterloo & City line that
uses four cars. New trains are designed for maximum number of standing
passengers and for speed of access to the cars and have regenerative braking
and public address systems. Since 1999 all new stock has had to comply with
accessibility regulations that require such things as access and room for
wheelchairs, and the size of location of door controls. All underground trains
are required to comply with the The Rail Vehicle Accessibility (Non
Interoperable Rail System) Regulations 2010 (RVAR 2010) by 2020. 
Stock on
sub-surface lines is identified by a letter (such as S Stock, used on the Metropolitan
line), while tube stock is identified by the year in which it was designed (for
example, 1996 Stock, used on the Jubilee line).
I have
decided to build a few London underground rolling stock to use in the back
ground and in siding throughout the layout.
So far
the prototypes are still a bit rough but good to home my skills.
