I remember a TV-based advertising scheme on the Piccadilly westbound

don't think these lasted longer than a few years.

Also, the Paris Metro in the 1980's had something on a couple of dozen
platforms if I remember rightly - called 'Tube' I believe - that was
removed in the early 90's.

In some of the stations in Sydney (NSW), e.g. Kings Cross, they have
white-painted sections of tunnel wall with images projected on to them
from what looks rather like a slide projector. If I remember correctly
they were advertising new cinema releases.

What happened to the plan to project adverts onto the walls of tube
tunnels so that commuters could see them out of the windows?

I expect it's still stalled while people figure out how to get any thing
recognisable from the soot-black tunnel walls.

On the Athens Metro last year I saw something out of the window between
stations that looked a lot like it might have been such a thing.
However, the train was always too crowded, and I was too busy, for me to
investigate properly.
