Commuters at Waterloo Station have faced years of overcrowding and have been eagerly awaiting a new fleet of air-conditioned, walk-through trains. These 'platform hoovers' are designed to carry 50 percent more passengers than current models. Despite being promised in 2019, only 14 of the 90 new Arterio trains are in service. The new trains will feature wi-fi, charging points, real-time information, and accessible toilets, but the full rollout timeline remains unconfirmed. Labour MP Fleur Anderson has raised concerns about extreme overcrowding at local stations and emphasized the need for a consistent rollout of the new trains.
