London Underground rolling stock

From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Underground trains come in two sizes, larger sub-surface trains and smaller tube trains. A Metropolitan Line A Stock train (left) passes a Piccadilly Line 1973 Stock train (right) in the siding at Rayners Lane. The A stock was eventually withdrawn in 2012.
