I feel like after it was cracked down on in the 2000s that you hardly ever saw pieces on tube carriages like this. Now I’m seeing them regularly on the central line. What’s changed? Have TFL drawn back on security? Any context or history would be great to hear about.

Tory cuts.
They should make the “artists” clean the paint off, then make them clean the liverpool street toilets.
Nice with some colour.
British Transport Police’s graffiti squad, the detectives who investigate graffiti, were disbanded a few years ago due to budget cuts. Hence the increase in more people getting away with graffiti on the transport network, they’re simply not even attempting to investigate who’s responsible for it
disgusting
TfL also have fewer spare trains at present so if a train is tagged it is harder to take it out of service.
I can’t understand how they can graffiti an entire coach without being noticed. How can they invade a depot unnoticed? Painting for hours without being discovered?
This shit needs to stop
LOVE IT. Adds some creativity, colour and diversity to another boring city item.
You wouldn’t complain if it was Bansky.
This is just Subway Surfers irl
London Underground won’t normally let graffitied trains out of the depot, they take them out of service until they’re cleaned up. Unfortunately the Central Line is running on bare bones as it is, what with so many broken down trains already, so they’re sending the graffitied ones out without waiting for them to be cleaned, just so they’ve got enough trains to run a service.
London getting like New York.
