The 1938 tube train looked perfect. Although ISTR in service these
units ran with black roofs. The preserved one is all over red.


IIRC they were a darkish Grey. (Which could be black!) The roofs certainly
weren't red in my day anyway. However, that's only a minor nitpick. They
are lovely trains to see around, especialy in a red livery. It brings back
soooo many memories..


I always thought of them as the Routemaster of the tube world!
