crowded train to see if they had defaced the booking hall.

Earl's Court District Line platforms have also been hit.

Any others?

Holloway Road and Caledonian Road had been completely cleaned by the
27th, Arsenal by the 29th - good work, TfL anti-graf squad. No visible
damage to the new (or old) tiles in any of the stations. Speedy removal
is the best defence.

Absolutely. So why is the Belle Isle area never cleaned up?

Indeed. But a pity they had to do so at all, isn't it?

I agree.
