Link train in the lead.
Fixed
Conversion templates need to have only a couple of significant figures, not "8.792650932" for instance...)
Infobox - "rollout" is not simple.
Fixed
Link £ to appropriate currency.
Fixed
Consider linking billion as well, ensuring it's the UK billion, not the US version.
Fixed
defunct is not simple.
Fixed
"maximum acceleration of 1.3 ms-2, a normal service deceleration of 1.14 ms-2" not simple at all, from the words to the figures and units. Perhaps the figures are a bit over the top since it's hard to relate to them?
Fixed
"current number of 37 units of " is redundant.
Fixed
"alighting of passengers" is not simple.
Fixed
"deep level tube lines" is not simple.
Fixed
"s.[1]. T" remove the . after the [1]
"uncoupled" is not simple.
Fixed
"Bombardier's FICAS technology" needs explanation.
Fixed
"bodyshell." not altogether simple.
Not done Find it simple enough.
"internal space " internal redundant - they don't need "external space" on the stock!
Fixed
Consider linking manufacture.
Fixed
What is "static testing"?
Fixed
What are "engineering hours"?
Two of the refs have red linked ISO dates, why?
Fixed
Should be consistent in date formats within the references, so all ISO or all human-readable.
Fixed
Bombardier's official site isn't needed here, you can link to it from the Bombardier article.

Rollout shouldn't be capitalised and should be linked to something.

Movia family - odd use of family here for simple English.

"passenger service" may not be obvious.

Fixed Gob lin 09:48, 16 September 2009 (UTC) I ♥ Nifky![reply]

I don't think m/s² is clear enough. I think you should link the whole thing, rather than metre and second only. Who knows what a ² means?

Peak times is not obvious.

"40 millimetres (1.574803148 in)" - why so many decimal places?
I believe this is down to the template itself, i'll look closer. Gob lin 09:34, 16 September 2009 (UTC) I ♥ GoblinBots![reply]
I've fixed that up... The Rambling Man (talk) 17:20, 16 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
"bodyshell" isn't simple.

Niet. Wikt has no such article. The Rambling Man (talk) 17:20, 16 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"mock-up" isn't simple.

" had slipped to January 2009" - slipped here is not used in its primary sense.
Fixed Gob lin 10:57, 16 September 2009 (UTC) I ♥ Nifky![reply]
Two redlinked ISO dates in the refs.
No idea how to change this, can you help? Gob lin 10:57, 16 September 2009 (UTC) I ♥ Nifky![reply]
Actually, no. It's the press release template. I've never used it before. Perhaps it would be easier to use the {{cite web}} template and use one of the fields to say "press release" (which as far as I can tell is all you get, and a redlinked one at that...)

Moah moah:

Not sure you can use the regular "couple" Wiktionary link for "uncouple" in this context.
Fixed Gob lin 17:29, 18 September 2009 (UTC) I ♥ Chenzw![reply]
Also, you link "static testing" to wiktionary's plain old "testing" - I think this is insufficient.

pre-production isn't simple.
Fixed
I would argue that pushchair/wheelchair needs to be linked, even if no article exists.
Done
Not sure "depot" is simple.
Linked to Northumberland Park depot. Gob lin 19:08, 17 September 2009 (UTC) I ♥ Shappy![reply]
Perhaps define "engineering hours" in real terms rather than just the phrase.
I'm going to say Not done due to the fact that these frequently differ and the Victoria line is currently running to altered/non-standard hours. These are also likely to change in the upcoming timetable change... Gob lin 19:08, 17 September 2009 (UTC) I ♥ Shappy![reply]
That's fine, but what actually are "engineering hours"? It's not simple. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:06, 17 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Gotcha, i'll expand on it. Gob lin 17:29, 18 September 2009 (UTC) I ♥ Chenzw![reply]
Refs 14 and 15 appear to be the same - use ref name.
Not done They aren't same. They are different images in flickr. Pmlineditor Talk 17:38, 16 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Refs section needs to be spelled correctly.
Fixed Gob lin 17:46, 17 September 2009 (UTC) I ♥ GoblinBots![reply]
Accessdates and publication dates should all be in the same format. Either ISO or DMY, but not a mixture.
Fixed Gob lin 19:08, 17 September 2009 (UTC) I ♥ Shappy![reply]
All online refs should have accessdates, e.g. check ref 1.
