Is it just me who feels the original front was a lot neater than the production versions?
Of course moving the radiator most likely helped make the type a success, and at least the final design was an improvement over the later prototypes with a grille added onto this version (or similar)

And we are jolly lucky that they tidied up the front end from this prototype once it went into production, or is it just familiarity ?

The Superloop SL11 launches on 24 January, running Abbey Wood–North Greenwich via Thamesmead and Woolwich. Limited-stop journeys are faster than the 472, with free pay-as-you-go travel in the first week. The route supports Thamesmead regeneration, the DLR extension, and better local connections.

Noticed a couple of old Underground service update boards yesterday, listing the East London line (and also with the red "on" in Mayor of London)
I suppose there's more still about but usually covered by paper posters, as with the other side of this example?
