Arsenal, Holloway Road and Caledonian Road on the Piccadilly
line. Now how did they get in there?

All that nice new tiling at Arsenal too

Holloway Road and Caledonian Road had been completely cleaned by
the 27th, Arsenal by the 29th - good work, TfL anti-graf squad. No
visible damage to the new (or old) tiles in any of the stations.
Speedy removal is the best defence.

Absolutely. So why is the Belle Isle area never cleaned up?


Where is Belle Isle? Is that the area around Barnsbury where the
CTRL portal is? Or am i thinking of something else?


Yes, between Gas Works and Copenhagen tunnels, I thought.


Are those, respectively, the tunnels beneath York Way, the canal and
Goodsway, and Market Road, Brewery Road and Blundell Street? The first and
second as you come out of KX? I'm a bit confused about the names, as
Copenhagen Street is much closer to the first tunnel - but then so is the
gasworks!

Ah yes, here are some references:

That would make it what's called the 'Triangle Site' in the KX
redevelopment, right?

There seems to have been a funeral station here at one point:

Now that's what i call a halt.
