Correct.

- excepting the fold-down seats on the Picc of course.

Which fold-up the moment you stop sitting on them...

There are NO tip up or fold up seats on 1973 stock which is used on the
Picc Line. Only the Northern Line has tip up seats in vestibule areas
while the Met Main stock has the old guards seats that certainly used to
tip down in the coach ends in the driving cars.

There are larger stand back areas and there is a fabric "bum perch"
provided in this area on the 73 stock.
