The London underground was created in 1863 though: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_Underground

Though I suppose you would have to look at the state of thr system in the 1980s. NYC may have had more deferred maintenance.

One major thing is probably that the NYC subway did 24 hour operation (recently stopped due to covid-19) so there wasn't an easy period for maintenance tasks where the London Underground seems to run 5am-12am so there's a nice 5 hour block for maintenance.
