Given some of the how-the-hell-did-they-get-there type places
we've all seen graffiti I suspect it won't be too much of a
challenge for them

Well, it was easy enough the first time. Those cars were newly
painted when they were placed on the viaduct, and the graffiti
appeared very soon afterwards.

From the pictures I saw, they were very much in the same condition
they left Uxbridge sidings in - a bit grimy but bare metal and
mostly no graffiti, although there was a little.

Yes, "newly painted" was wrong, I now realise. The comparison that I
remembered was of http://tinyurl.com/38mycq taken on 20 August 2006,
with no graffiti visible, and
