Londoners say more graffiti has appeared on the Central line Tube carriages in recent months. <\/p>\n

Passengers on the London Underground claim there has been a rise in graffiti on the Central line, with tags appearing on carriage interior walls and doors. <\/p>\n

One passenger on Reddit<\/a> made the unflattering comparison between the Central line and the New York<\/a> Subway in the 1980s, when the US<\/a> city’s underground system was infamous for graffiti-covered trains and crime<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Footage appears to show carriage after carriage sprayed with colourful graffiti also on the outside of some trains.<\/p>\n

One frustrated commuter wrote on X: ‘Becoming really sick of commuting daily on the Central Line. It\u2019s filthy and constantly covered in graffiti. <\/p>\n

‘Commuters all deserve better. Sort it out.’ <\/p>\n

Another passenger said he saw graffiti on Bakerloo line trains too which ‘makes for a poor journey experience.’ <\/p>\n

One daily commuter told Metro that the situation last month ‘has gotten dreadfully bad in the past few weeks.’ <\/p>\n

Bassam Mahfouz, a London<\/a> Assembly Member for Ealing and Hillingdon, told Metro<\/strong> it isn’t ‘a tag here or there’ but it now affects entire carriages in some cases. <\/p>\n

‘It is a complete eyesore,’ he said. <\/p>\n

‘You wouldn’t expect that sort of thing in London.’ <\/p>\n
