The wagon is fully automatic. The first of the two experimental trains was sent for a run-in to the London Underground in May 2007 , where the train was run-in at night after testing at the company's test site in Derby . This type of train is also used to train and train London Underground drivers.
From July 21 to August 4, 2007, an experimental car was presented at the Euston station for future passengers. The first squad entered the line on July 21, 2009.
In combination with the new signaling system, trains from the cars of this series are characterized by increased reliability and, due to their characteristics, should shorten the passage time between stations. Also, this type of car has a higher capacity, smoother ride, wider doors (which is important when working on the line during rush hours) and greater fitness for disabled people. Each train consists of 8 wagons, has 252 seats and 1,196 standing places.
