Best Tube Stock?

I like the 1992 stock best ,larger windows and doors,modern and does't have the annoying sound that the 1996 stock has.

What annoying sound? (unless you mean the 1996 stock motors which sound like a cross between a Formula 1 car and a space rocket ;D)

As for me, right now it's the '67 stock that does it for me, still going strong after 40 years, shame that the 2009 stock is going to replace them but that's life ;D

I like the Piccadilly Line 73 stock, a nippy batch for it's time and the doors were quieter yet rudely quicker when closing (before they were modified to BEEP first). The older 59/62/67/69/72/77 stock (from all the other Lines) use to make a sort of a "TONK!" noise before the doors started closing, which UNOFFICIALLY warned the passenger to move their asses out the way. ;D.

Yes it is amazing how 60's stock is still pretty much the same as modern stock.
