Its not simply thoughtless idiots putting their feet up onto the seats as happens on many National Rail services.

Neither is it building demolition / construction workers sitting on the seats in filthy work clothes.

Whatever both groups should be banned from trains.

But it appears to be a compete and utter lack of keeping the seats clean by T4L &/or its cleaning contractors.

The Bakerloo Line seats are filthy and black with ingrained dirt.

But who to complain to is a problem. No-one cares.

I travelled on the Bakerloo Line yesterday; not something I do very often.
I didn't find it black with grime. The seat covers were a bit worn although
threadbare would be an overstatement.
