Immediately reminded of inside cover of Blur’s Modern Life is Rubbish
i remember this, district line
I remember the distinctive smell of those carriages too.
Isle of Wight had these until recently
Yes! The wooden floors. I also remember the end of each train had a guard in the back section who would press a button to let the driver know it was safe to depart. Sometimes they would tap out little messages to the driver.
They look so much cleaner back then. They look like trash cans nowadays.
Oh I rode plenty of them
Rode in one 5 days a week for 5 years, Wimbledon to Fulham Broadway, 1993 to 1998.
Yes, and when they were full of smoke. It’s mind boggling to think that smoking on the tube was allowed until 1987
I remember taking off the bendy plastic strips holding the adverts in and me and my school mates whacking each other with them. ouch
I do. Jubilee lines. Willesden Green used to have these
Better days.
Just ride the bakerloo line. It’s basically the same thing.
Yes, I remember the scratchy itchy seats that I hated sitting on in bare legs as a kid. The ones on the bus were the same.
District line used to have those seats. I fainted many a time due to overheating during the summers going to work on those trains. Ahh the good ol’ days.
Takes me back.
How did you get a picture of the 2035 bakerloo line?!
I can smell that train.
Yes I trains, but Buses aswell using those seat covers, which would normally be ripped open with the yellow foam half cut away.

I used to go to and from school on these. We used to dig the dog ends out of the wooden slats on the floor of the smoking carriages and smoke them!
Oh yes.. I remember those springy knobbly things on the ceiling all too well.
Remembers? Isn’t this a current Bakerloo line train?
Was never a fan of the hanging dicks. Railings are much better at keeping you stable.

/kinda damp and musty for anyone who’s interested.
