In the past my cousin was arrested in Bristol for being a graffiti artist.
Instead of just dishing out punishment he was allocated a wall of his own to
paint. This type of approach was very successful.

Maybe London Underground could allocate trains to the talented artists. One
other train could be markd out so the taggers could have a portion each for
thier signature.

Why on earth should LUL do this? This would cost money which could be
far better spent on making the system work properly.

Having just returned from Hong Kong where all the rail / mass transit
lines are spotlessly clean despite carrying millions of people of day I
could not help but notice the difference at Acton Town this morning
where I saw loads of graffiti daubed all over the walls and then of
course we have the lovely scratched train windows.

Give me Hong Kong standards of maintenance, upkeep and reliability
please. No delays at all, everything in good order, very frequent and
reliable services - whether bus, tram, MTR or Kowloon Canton Railway.

Graffitti artist are very protective of thier work and would punish anyone
who dared to touch it.

That's nice - perhaps they could all be locked in a big room and spend
their time punishing each other. They would then hopefully finish each
other off thus reducing the risk of further graffiti and saving the
criminal justice system some time and money.
