Default Large Hadron Collider 'advert' on Northern Line tube cards

Has anyone else spotted the in-car tube card adverts with a photo of
part of the Large Hadron Collider on the Northern Line stock? It is just
a photo, with tiny text pointing at it being related to CERN.

I wonder who funded it, and what purpose it is there to serve, apart
from raise awareness and inspire.


I imagine that images of a system to whiz payloads round a powerfully
cooled underground tunnel with incredible precision and regularity at
99.9999991% of the speed of light are there to wind Northern Line
passengers up even more than they are already.

Mind you, the planned collision rate wouldn't go down well with HMRI.
