Either more VLWs or DWs for us. 7436-44 will be the targeted batch.
I drove all of 7466-81 during the major line closure in August 2013 and they were mostly all spot on. The slowest one was 7480 but I am told that one is spot on now. 7472 was the quickest, and 7473 (I think it was) had an air sprung seat in it.
Been driving the VLWs this weekend (and next...) on the Metro replacements and they're superb. Must have had an engine overhaul after coming out of London, never known B7TLs with so much power. Had 7493 (broke twice with an oil leak!) - replaced by 7485 yesterday and 7488 today, they were both spot on!
