They were never like that when in service. They were dirty, tatty and badly maintained.

@nederland4045 they were in service until 1988. Which just shows how out of date the tube is/was! The oldest trains running now are the 1972 stock, heading on for 40 years old..

@AustinSomerset Yes, quite shocked to see shiny red paint outside, with the wooden floors varnished. No cigarette butts either. Great trains, and happy memories of my youth in London.

I was travelling between London Bridge and Stockwell in 1998/9 when one of these turned up - though unrestored to any great degree. Brought back fond memories of when they were regularly in service. Can't think why it turned up then - maybe as a replacement for a newer one that had broken down. They are not quite the same thought without hundreds of cigarette buts jammed into the grooves along the floor.

Wonderful! A few memory cells stimulated!! They were great looking cars.

This was filmed 20.04.08. It is a special trip arranged by the London Transport Museum. I believe there is another one planned for 21st June, but unfortunately I won't be able to make it.
