LUL seem to be falling in love with electronic ads , whether they be
the LCD monitor type such as all the way up the main escalators at
Tottenham court road or the projection type being tried out at
Euston.
An article in the metrotravel section in Metro today wibbles on
about
how it'll save lots of stuff from going to landfill but surely the
extra electricty used will more than outweigh any small advantages
gained from no paper waste?

Not to mention the additional heat that will be generated by dozens of
LCD panels. Just as LU finally seem to be thinking about cooling the
trains (well, the sub-surface ones anyway), they decide to add a bit
more heat to the deep-level tube escalator shafts. That's joined-up
thinking for you.
