I don’t know what’s up this year. I’ve never had black gunk transfer to my hands before, but it’s happened twice in the last few weeks
That’s your punishment for standing on the left.
Insurance might be high but I’m glad I got a car in London
Who on earth touches the rail 💀
It’s horrible especially when there’s nowhere nearby to wash your hands. Luckily the last time I was getting off at Oxford Circus and the staff in Aesop were happy to help without selling me anything!
I know they tell you to hold the handrail but don’t listen to them.
going down to the northern line?
Yeah. I have been caught by that in the past
Pollution 🏭
Yuk
Is this grease or pollution?
Mind the gack
I’ll do you one better.
I one tripped on them cut my hand open and the black dirt got into my wound.
I’m like 5% subway human now
Report it on the tfl website or to the station staff. There’d be a cleaner at that station and maybe they’ll do the thing of just holding a wipe at one end while the escalators running and it’ll clean itself within a minute.
I’ve seen them clean the hand rails before so it’s weird for it to be this bad. Even just people touching it all day would clean most of this off in a few hours. maybe there was works overnight at the station above the escalator and caused a load of gunk to fall on the handrail.
Bakerloo Line? Every time I travel on the Bakerloo Line I always get black dust on me even on my face. Somehow others around me never get dirty 🤔.
Part n parcel
Don’t ever touch the rail 🙈
Its also in your lungs
Never touch railings, hand rails or basically anything that is there to support you in big cities, especially london.
