Agreed! not only does the problem of "black dirt" seem worst on this
line (I tend to experience it on most lines if I travel long enough),
but I also feel like passing out when on the underground part of the
line between Camden Town and Golders Green.

Given that others I've spoken with also feel the same along the same
part of the line suggests to me that the are is aweful there.

Seeing that it seems to cling more to magnetic surfaces, it must contain
a high proportion of iron so at least we won't be anaemic on Section
12s...

The bakerloo has plenty of 'black cocaine' around, though I expect the
northern is worse, if only because it has been open longer and had
more time to build up.

This is of course the part of the network which is furthest below ground
level, so perhaps the ventilation air is ineffective there. I've never had a
problem there, but whenever I ride the Piccadilly all the way from Bounds
Green to Barons Court, I need to stand in the doorway as soon as fresh air
is reached The Piccadilly is generally the deepest through Central London.

That's why my vehicle's the Piccadilly Line -
It's the size of a county and it comes every two and a half minutes

Often noticed oily smell in air when changing to Northern Line, in the past,
and sometimes a visible mist.

Nope. Only happens when changeing to Northern. Mist is presumably fine oil
particles.
BTW, talking of such aerosol effects, anyone know what happened when
experiments carried out on tube with spreading microbes, back in 1950s?
