More diseases in the Tube than Porton Down. And parasites. People crawling with lice and fleas, miserable morons crawling from a s*it flat to a s*it job...no thanks.

Still, back then you were lucky to have two carriages which were no-smoking, whereas today ...
And some of the rolling stock dated back to the 1920s/1930s. And while there's still ancient stock, quite a lot is modern and even air-conditioned, AIUI.
