Now that the tube prices have skyrocketed, does anyone know of any

Even if there are no plans to upgrade the trains, why not just give
them a lick of paint? The old dirty grey carriages look horrific next
to the nice Picadilly line trains at early Hammersmith, earls court
etc

Maybe its just a Sunday afternoon moan, but doesn't anyone else agree
that it's time to bring the District Line out of the stone age?

The trains currently in use on the District were brought into service in
1980 and are last in line for refurbishment because they were the last
(apart from the current Central and Northern Line trains) to be introduced.

You'll be pleased to learn that a refurbishment programme, to bring them up
to the same appearance as the Piccadilly Line trains (introduced in 1975).
