Wonder if they have pictures of TOX??



So they were lucky enough to have the person caught on a unit where the
saloon CCTV equipment was actually working. All they need to do now is get
the dud 30-40% saloon CCTVs working to perhaps catch somebody elsee at it.

I too prefer seeing grafitti to adverstising on the tube, I don't like
the window scratches though, or on good architecture. I think some of
it looks alright, and TOX seems to know about the tube at least,
he/she tags where signals are and at window height for maximum
exposure. TOX could make a better effort in his/her work though. I
actually think some of the stuff done on a couple of district line
trains is good, better than the lack of paint on it. LU should invite
a few famous grafitti artists to do up a few trains on the District,
be a good publicity stunt.

I am resigned to there being a problem on the network, I don't think
there is much anyone can do to stop the stuff going up, a lot of them
cant be prosecuted as they're too young and it is the fault of LU,
letting people get in their property esp. near depots (which seems to
be a speciality of TOX), I mean if a 15 year old can do it a terrorist
can and blow up the whole rolling stock of a tube line. Best to have
fun working out how they got to the places along the route rather than
complain.
