Graffiti on London Underground Trains - continues

There has been a huge rise in graffiti on the insides of Circle,
District and Hammersmith & City Lines stock. This is usually of 'tags'
scrawled on the inside of every door using large felt tip pens. This
makes the trains look an absolute mess.

Apparently two perpetrators have been caught and jailed. Their
pictures were in the Metro recently. Yet the graffiti continues and
fresh tags are obvious. It appears that the culprits are in
competition to see who can get their tag onto EVERY door on the
system.

When I was on the H&C Line a while ago I was travelling from
Paddington to Hammersmith. This was at about 11.00.pm one weekday. The
train was largely empty. Two kids got on - a 16-18 year old,
Caucasian, black curly hair, blue jeans, track-suit top with hood,
youngish looking - and a young podgy white kid of about 10.



Does your mobile take still pictures or video ?

Were you afraid to grab the little feckers yourself ?

No wonder the place is such a mess, the travelling public are such
snivelling wimps

He probably was. Most people would be because people like that can turn
violent.

I absolutely hate graffiti on trains but given the choice between
graffiti and the risk of serious personal injury, I'd choose the
graffiti.
