Sad story on http://tube.tfl.gov.uk/content/press...es/0410/04.asp

Not for LUL, TfL or the members of the travelling public.

It is sad that he only got 200 hours. At minimum wage that's
equivalent to £820. Not really very much of a pay back for £32 000
damages

Agreed. He should be banned from entering London and an area bounded by a
radius of say 30 miles around it - forever. The damage he has done in terms
of fuelling the growth of criminal damage and graffiti is incalculable, and
the psychological effects on the rest of us of his wanton and deliberate
damage means he has forfeited his right to live in this area. A persistent
and cunning menace, his attacks were often well-planned. He needs help and
his upbringing does indeed sound awful, but I just can't manage to have any
sympathy for him, sorry.
