Tube train clean-up finally underway

Users of the Bakerloo line will have been horrified by the state of the tube trains over recent months, with almost every carriage defaced by graffiti both inside & out. Local Councillors have been lobbying Transport for London, responsible for both the stations & the trains, to take remedial action & now it seems the clean-up has begun. As of May 10th TFL say 13 of the 36 Bakerloo trains have been cleaned & over 4,000 "tags" removed. They expect to complete this first cycle of internal cleaning within the next four weeks.

Longer term it seems some much-needed new trains may be coming down the track, given the £485m in capital funding awarded to TFL by the Government this year.
