A sign of the times - bars are easier to clean, although there are straps (or loops of plastic) hanging from bars on the new London Overground rolling stock.

All 191 trains (composed from 1,395 carriages) are being delivered between 2010 - 2015. Unfortunately I don't have exact figures on how many will be delivered each month per each line going forward, but the average will be around 4 trains/27 carriages each month.
I do however have indication as to the priority of what lines are receiving the new stock:
Metropolitan: 2010 - 2011
Circle: 2011 - 2013
Hammersmith & City: 2011 – 2013
District: 2013 - 2015
I presume you take the Hammersmith & City to Hammermsmith and proceed to take a 33 or 72 bus down to Barnes rather than take a train from London Waterloo on the Waterloo-Reading Line?
