Reference number	1994/108
Description	This information poster produced by London Underground in 1993 is keeping the public up to date with the refurbishment programme. The modern train on the right is a brighter and more comfortable place to travel for the young woman in the foreground. The old wooden floors have gone, replaced by fresher and more practical vinyl flooring. The text below informs people that half the trains on the Victoria and Bakerloo lines and three-quarters of the trains on the Hammersmith and City and Circle lines have been modernised. Every week more refurbished trains are returning from the depot, and refurbishment is about to start on the Metropolitan and Piccadilly line trains.

  Text	With fully refurbished trains returning from the manufacturers every week, Underground travel is becoming brighter and more comfortable. Already almost half the trains on the Victoria Line, half on the Bakerloo Line and about three-quarters of those on the Hammersmith & City and Circle Lines have been modernised. Now work has started on Metropolitan and Piccadilly Line trains. It's all part of giving London an Underground to be proud of.
