Now that the tube prices have skyrocketed, does anyone know of any
plans to upgrade the District Line trains. These carriages look
like they have been in service since time itself began.

There is one refurbished prototype carriage doing the rounds, which
I've seen once.

I think if you try a Google Groups search, someone posted a link to
pictures last time I asked about ot.

The prototype has been around for some time. Metronet have now started
the full refurbishment programme, and the first unit from that is now
being tried out in passenger service. There are some photos on District
Dave's site, e.g.
