The tube wasn't completely closed on Christmas Day... :(

...sadly vandals and the otherwise bored and useless of London decided
to spend Christmas Day at Mile End station. Graffiti artist(s) evidently
had plenty of time to put meaningless scrawls on most surfaces and
hoardings on the platforms. I didn't bother venturing off the very
crowded train to see if they had defaced the booking hall.

How did they even get inside? :-(

P.S. Tube website consistently shown entire tube network having "good
service" yesterday!

Walk from Stratford? It's thought that the Camden Town vandels
walked from East Finchley or Golders Green.

That's crazy! What if the train would pass? I mean, there is
absolutely no hiding place in tube tunnels, isn't it?

Possibly the only day of the year the service bulletin is entirely
accurate.

The vandals could have got in at Whitechapel. Its not far to walk from
there.

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

Any others?
