London Underground train life extension - Rail Engineer
July 27, 2016 - The Piccadilly line and Bakerloo line has got history and yes the Bakerloo Line would of been extended to Watford Junction and could also be extended to Lewisham and Hayes (taking over the Hayes line which is 3rd Rail and Southeastern trains operate to/from Hayes which could be taken over by the extension of the Bakerloo Line from Elephant & Castle. Plus the rolling stocks on the Bakerloo and Piccadilly lines are ageing but still running and coping very well with more passengers using these lines but these rolling stocks are soon to be replaced by the next generation London Underground rolling stocks that will replace the 1972 and 1973 stocks on the Piccadilly and Bakerloo lines and also the new tube stocks will also replace the 1992 stocks on the Central and Waterloo & City lines.

January 9, 2022 - I believe (although I could be mistaken) that SPT got an exemption for their current Subway trains from the wheelchair bay requirement of RVAR on the basis that they only served a limited number of accessible stations. Are new door open/close tones also part of the RVAR mods, or have LU got an exemption from that requirement for the 72 stock?

r/LondonUnderground on Reddit: Who loves the 1972 stock Bakerloo line trains ?
April 14, 2025 -
This is my favourite train on the London Underground right now. It’s the oldest one in service and I love them. It’s my dream to own the drivers cab carriage in a big garden btw did you guys see that they are getting refurbished ? New wheelchair access,screens and announcements but the big sofas are getting removed sadly. I love the motor noise it sounds very deep and the announcements make me so nostalgic. The train looks like it has a sad face with eyes. Some of the refurbished units are in service.

Nope, they are in dire need of replacement, but LU don't have the money to. I've been on one where the seats were so bad that everyone was standing. They were disgusting. The maintenance staff are constantly firefighting to keep them running and safe, with parts harder to come by and the regularly refurbished mechanical parts now fully wearing out after 50 years and they are doing as good a job as they can. The saloon refurbishment is happening because they have to. It is needed to meet the RVAR requirements and they no longer have an exemption for existing stocks (72 & 92). I don't think it's all carriages getting wheelchair bays, just middle ones, but I'm not 100% sure.

Not my photos, these are from @richardavsmith on Twitter. Some other things to note: new announcements by Adrian Hieatt with improved fidelity, new (and actually legible) destination screens on the end of the train, and of course the new CCTV and AC motors with sounds similar to the S stock.
Feels like it’s been forever, but glad these are finally entering service. The moquette is fantastic, and it’s nice to have seats that harmonise with the line colour again instead of the very harsh dark blue of Barman.

March 18, 2015 - In the context of the lifespan of the Bakerloo Line’s existing trains, it is arguably even longer still. The 72 Stock already found on the line has already been in service for over 42 years. By the time of withdrawal, it will be over 55 years old. Life extension works and the refurbishment of old trains is, of course, nothing new.
