Default Northern line stock not wearing well

I can't wait for the northern line trains to wear out and be

person behind the hand rail above the seats, and there's also less
headroom by the doors compared to the old trains.


Visibility of line diagrams is poor on most tube stock. Mostly, they're
either partly obscured by hand rails, or right next to the lights so you
get dazzled, or poorly illuminated. The refurbished 73 stock on the
Piccadilly got it right.


'bout the only thing we did get right on the refurbs...:-(
