    Rode on 38 Tube Stock yesterday from Ryde Esplanade to Shanklin & VV

    It was Ryde Pride and most of the Island seemed to have joined in so entertainment was on tap

    The IOWSR was a rather nice pleasant little oasis

    This is a comparison between 1938 tube stock and a district line train I think, experts will tell all...

    The all red one on the left Tony. It is tube stock, designed to fit the deeper level tunnels whereas the red and white one is bigger and they were for the 'just below' street level subways of the earlier built systems.
    You will find a lot of detail here: good for a rainy day. :D
