They weren't. The 1959 refers to the age of the train shown in the
picture. 1959 stock ran on the Northern Line together with 1938
(for a while), 1960 (only a couple of trains) and 1972 Mk1.

That's 1962 not 1960 stock. Earlier the Northern Line had 1972 MkII stock
too before it replaced the Bakerloo's 1938 stock.

Sorry Colin - I meant 1956 stock - the ones with the rather odd 5
headlamps.

I should know better than to be imprecise on matters such as rolling
stock!
