 This is probably why the original stations used tiles. Transport for London (TfL) is exploring new ways of dealing with "ghost marks" on the walls of Elizabeth line's platforms.
The marks behind platform benches are caused by people leaning against the walls.
TfL is trying out solutions to the problem, including putting vinyl coverings behind the seats.www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-67959169 |

The new stations are lovely but someone definitely messed up along the way. I also wish someone would tidy up the footbridge at Ilford station. It’s very shoddy and the signage is badly placed. |

I think you should write your MP. |

I think you should write your MP. It’s in the borough next to mine so I’ll have to write to Sam Tarry instead. I know where his local office is so I can post it through the letterbox. |

The position in which someone would have to sit to leave marks like that on a wall that slants inward seems damned uncomfortable. If there are chiropractors at stops on that line, they should do robust business.
