As I was born in 89, before my time Doesn't look too different apart from the train interiors which seem to look better than the current trains we have now.

The 'no smoking' sign in the windows remind me of when smoking was allowed in the first carriages of each train I believe. I also miss the days when most of the older trains used to make a sort of brief hydraulic noise before the doors shut...although the ones on the Piccadilly line were quieter with the doors closing dangerously quicker.
I also remember when some 72 stock on the northern line briefly had part Northern Line-part Jubilee line trains coupled together, ie the first 4 cars having alluminum doors ( original Northern line) with the last 3 cars (ex-Jubilee now Bakerloo) having red doors. Around the same time the Bakerloo line had part 59 part 72 stock.
I also remember one time where I saw a Jubilee line 83 stock parked at the Northern Line's Golders Green depot, really wish I had my camera* then.

Looool, this doesn't even look like London to me. Being born in 1999 the tube pretty much has been the way it currently is as long as I have known it. But no doubt it looks like travelling was a much more fun experience than what we have now.

Very interesting and captivating photos. Looks a lot less clinical than today.
Of the old days of the tube, I vaguely remember rides on the 1959 stock in their old glory.
