Pretty true... luckily Ken has announced a big investment into the worst lines. There'll be more trains, longer trains and (shock horror) air-con on 4 lines.
I live on the Jubilee, which is a great service. But some of the lines (Circle, Hammersmith & City) are shite. And the prices are crazy compared to any other big city.

got to travel on it tomorrow on the way to my sister in gillingham, don't like it and tend to panic if it's too crowded. i have to go from st. pancras to victoria, would it be too costly to do this by taxi?
