The Bakerloo line is operated entirely by [[London Underground 1972 Stock|1972 Stock]], displaced from the Jubilee line by [[London Underground 1983 Stock|1983 stock]]. The trains are maintained at Stonebridge Park depot. All Bakerloo line trains are painted in the London Underground livery of red, white and blue, and are the smaller of the two train sizes used on the network, as the line runs deep underground in small-diameter tunnels.

In the early 2000s, the interiors of the trains were 'deep-cleaned' and the upholstery replaced with a blue [[moquette]]. The seating layouts are both longitudinal and transverse; some cars have longitudinal seating only. A TfL Finance and Policy Committee Paper dated 11 March 2015 revealed that the repair programme for the 1972 Stock would be more expensive than anticipated, due to the unexpectedly inferior condition of the fleet.<ref>{{cite web |url= http://cdn.londonreconnections.com/2013/bakerloo-line.pdf |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20221010/http://cdn.londonreconnections.com/2013/bakerloo-line.pdf |archive-date=10 October 2022 |url-status=live |title=Bakerloo Line Fleet Life Extension |date=11 March 2015 |publisher=Transport for London |access-date=23 April 2016}}</ref>

In early 2016, a four-year refurbishment programme began with the first of the new-look cars operating on the line in March.<ref>{{cite news |url= https://www.standard.co.uk/news/transport/a3215311.html#gallery |title= First look at newly-refurbished Bakerloo Line train |date= 31 March 2016 |work= London Evening Standard |access-date= 23 April 2016 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20160424035416/http://www.standard.co.uk/news/transport/a3215311.html#gallery |archive-date= 24 April 2016 |url-status= dead }}</ref> Each car's interior was cleaned, the seating moquette replaced with a variation of the Barman type seen on other lines, and handrails and lighting renewed. Each car was assessed and repair work carried out to ensure the stock can operate safely.

According to a November 2021 paper by the TfL Finance Committee, replacement of the current trains may not occur until the late 2030s or early 2040s, due to a lack of funding. In this case, the trains would be 60-70 years old at the time of replacement, around twice their design life.<ref>{{Cite web |date=21 November 2021 |title=Impacts of Reduced Funding for TfL |url=https://board.tfl.gov.uk/documents/s16939/fc-20211124-item11a-Impacts-of-Reduced-Funding.pdf |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20221010/https://board.tfl.gov.uk/documents/s16939/fc-20211124-item11a-Impacts-of-Reduced-Funding.pdf |archive-date=10 October 2022 |url-status=live |access-date=17 June 2022 |website=Transport for London}}</ref> Since the withdrawal of the final [[British Rail Class 483|Class 483 trains]] on the Isle of Wight, the 1972 Stock have become the oldest non-heritage trains running in the United Kingdom.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Haigh |first1=Philip |title=All change on the Bakerloo Line for the UK's oldest trains? |work=RAIL |publisher=Bauer Consumer Media |date=13 December 2023 |location=Peterborough |pages=56–57}}</ref>
