As for the rolling stock, it looks like 1938 stock which would
have been authentic for the Northern in 1944, although I am not sure
about livery details being absolutely correct. That "No
Smoking" window transfer looks a bit post-war, but I am willing to
be corrected.


The livery looks all-red to me, not authentic for 1944. Also the
signs would have still said "NON-SMOKING" at that time.
"NO-SMOKING" came later. And the lack of blast netting is wrong too.


I have been thinking about this. The 38 stock had cream window
pillars when introduced, didn't it? Like in this picture (of 1959 stock,
admittedly)

I think that was a fair representation of the cream element. Before my time, mind.

Maybe tube trains wouldn't need blast or blackout precautions if
German troops were in occupation?


Good point.
