refurbishment
Refurbished C Stock at Barbican. The stock
was finished in the corporate red, white and blue. The paint was a two-pack graffiti
resistant paint which has demonstrated over the years that it only works if it has been
properly kept clean and the right chemicals are applied to remove the graffiti. The
difference between this stock and the still-pristine A Stock finish can only be due to a
lack of attention being paid to the maintenance of C Stock compared with the
Metropolitan's A Stock.

Stock Interior
Interior of a C Stock car as refurbished.
The original interior has been completely stripped and re-equipped in a more modern style.
This is probably the best refurbishment design of the London Underground.
Compare this with the original C Stock
interior.
The main features are the end windows, added to
increase the passengers perception of security by allowing them to see into the next car,
and the all longitudinal seating. This creates a wider gangway, helping capacity and
improving the interior view. The ceiling mounted grab rails are also useful. Photo
