A group of Space Hijacker agents were travelling across London when we spotted a TFL decoration team, swiftly turning all of the adverts on the District Line around so that their blank sides were facing out.
They then posted up official LondON stickers proclaiming:
"As part of TFL's £10 Billion investment program, London Underground are removing all adverts from trains to improve the ambience of carriages and the overall travelling experience of passengers."
We can only applaud this bold move against the constant corporate assault on our senses.
The team we saw doing it were very quick, managing to swap around entire carriages of adverts in less than the time it took the train to travel one stop. Infact so impressed were our agents that we kept an eye on the trains and spotted the advert free carriages several days after.
On the trains we overheard one of the passengers asking "but what are we going to read?", the TFL spokesperson replied "You could try talking to each other?"
Three cheers for TFL ;-)
