Seems pretty pointless seeing as a majority of the stock used "one" has only recently been repainted.

That said, I'm not a big fan of the "one" livery or name and wouldn't be too upset to see it go. I would miss the c2c livery as it's nicely understated.

The Underground feature in August's Modern Railways mentioned that 12 stations on the sub-surface lines were going to have platform lengthening work carried out, I wonder if that includes Paddington, Bayswater and Notting Hill Gate. The same feature lists the formation of the 2009 Tube Stock as DM-T...

IIRC, the Met S-stock will be 8 car much like the A-stock is now and will have more suitable seating for the longer journeys involved (i.e. traverse).

As for the consist, I imagine it would be 6x Mk2 TSO, 1x Mk3 RFM or Mk1 RB, 3x Mk2 FO and Mk3 DVT.

The vents on the carriage ends you describe also appear on the 455/7 & 455/8 and I think are connected with the pressure ventilation system. This is why on these classes that one end of the carriage has a lower ceiling.
