Which of those have red trains today?
As far as I know, the only red multiple unit trains anywhere in the
Greater London area are SWT's refurbished class 455s, and they
aren't completely red, and they aren't underground trains either.
I did read somewhere that before 507s & 508s took over completely,
one of the LMS type Merseyside emus which had been painted into period
maroon livery, had been used in a film or TV drama to represent
prewar LT surface line stock.

Very nearly, they sent the 1938 Tube Stock back...
"These vehicles have aluminium bodies and hopefully will survive the salt
air."
Oh dear! They have steel underframes. :-(
If they want all-ali they want a couple of 1983 stock cars.
