...sadly vandals and the otherwise bored and useless of London decided
to spend Christmas Day at Mile End station. Graffiti artist(s) evidently
had plenty of time to put meaningless scrawls on most surfaces and
hoardings on the platforms. I didn't bother venturing off the very
crowded train to see if they had defaced the booking hall.

East & Westbound platforms at Arsenal, Holloway Road & Caledonian Road
noted covered in graffiti earlier today.


Evening Standard reporting Old Street and Angel too.

P.S. Tube website consistently shown entire tube network having "good
service" yesterday!


Possibly the only day of the year the service bulletin is entirely
accurate.

The vandals could have got in at Whitechapel. Its not far to walk from
there.

I did say this last time this happened. Kids with paint cans are
annoying, but it could have been far more sinister. Lets face it you
could get an artillery piece around the tube on Christmas day..... a few
small bombs would be no trouble !

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?

Indeed. But a pity they had to do so at all, isn't it?

I agree.

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

It is cheaper to clean it up, than to provide adequete preventative
security at all sites.

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