       When London sold their old #DLR #trains in the early 90s, the city of #Essen (Germany) bought them for their two underground lines.It was technically equipped with driver cabs, it was changed for overhead pantograph, and the interior was updated. Today, this is the most modern stock they have for the underground. The other trains are almost 40 years old (and look like it). #traintooter

       @awesomeknight while the London Underground has been expanded and modernised, my hometown is still running 1978-1981 rolling stock on the Tyne and Wear Metro... they smell and look their age... which now is obviously back in fashion.I believe this August that they'll finally begin running new trains on the line.
