Rode on the bakerloo for the first time in years today. My god the 72 stock

going to be a block order for a number of lines.

AFIK Boltar, the existing trains are undergoing heavy refurbishment for life
extension. IMHO they are OK. The seats are comfortable, and the doors open
very promptly at stations.

Yes, agreed. They look better with the new, clean upholstery; the old
stuff was filthy and stained, making one reluctant to sit on those
comfortable benches.

Its always interesting sitting at the front of an old tube train when it hits
a pressure wave - usually from going into a tunnel or smaller bore tunnel -
and all the seats not being sat on inflate and have all the dust and god
knows what else blown out from them in a rather unpleasent cloud.
