Wow, it's about time the Bakerloo line got some new rolling stock. It's still using stock from 1972. Even the Picadilly line's '73 stock is miles better.

- andy_ppp 12y agoI overheard a TFL employee saying that the Bakerloo line is filled with asbestos which they cover in glue every year, no way they can ever remove it. Does anyone know if this is true?
- DanBC 12y agoA quick Google search suggest ghat there is asbestos in various places in the London Underground. Covering it in gloop is probably better than closing the line and removing the asbestos. http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/asbestos-london-underground-tube-rmt-295229 http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/asbestos-london-underground-tube-rm...
- simpleigh 12y agoPersonally I much prefer the Bakerloo. The seats are much more comfortable than anything more recent. The Bakerloo is pretty low down the list of an upgrade, apparently. Counter-intuitively this is because the trains need substantial refurbishment within the next few years - unfortunately this will be necessary before new stock will become available, so it makes sense to refurbish and then run for longer.
