Reminds me of the LondoN UndergrounD:  The BakerLoo Line has trains
dating back from the 1970's (around the time of BART).  Remember when
the 1970's was the "mod" era?  Well anyway, the BakerLoo trains are not
as "modern" as the latest 1996 tube stock that they have at the Silver
Jubilee Extension there.  The 1970's tube stock is a bit noisy and shaky
and seem old by comparison.  Also, the floor height of the tube trains
is generally higher than that of the 1907-style platforms.  It makes you
wonder how they can get a wheel-chair or push-chair on board these
things!
