@@PeteS_1994 yeah i think they did a variety of different prototypes . It's pretty cool. It's also a train that feels like an AC tractioned train with DC traction system. The motors sound so smooth whereas other DC motors like the 73 stock sound more deep (which I like) , but I always thought the 92 stocks were a bit advanced for a DC tractioned unit. Pretty good engineering if you ask me (or whatever the right word would be) 92s I don't think had bonded windows but rather the 95/96 stocks

I wonder why fashion, particularly work attire, hasn’t changed that much in the last 30-40 years. Prior to the 80s, each decade had a really distinct look. If you wore 60s or 70s fashions in the 80s, you would really stand out. Fabrics, cut, style, pattern, colour were all very distinct and intense. But if I wore the same clothes now as I wore in 1995, I think no one would notice the difference. Maybe a slight retro vibe, but not much.

I used to have a theory that 1995 was actually the real Year 2000/end of the century in terms of culture, music, art, film, fashion, hair. Nothing really new happened after it, just recycled trends. I know what you mean about wearing 70s clothes in the 80s, it was punished severely. In Ireland we'd say 'flare play to ya' if your trousers were anything more than drainpipes with the ankles taken in.

Most newspapers were broadsheets in those days which made it more difficult to turn the pages in a crowded place like the Tube.
