hmmm... what the hell are they doing to the Piccadilly line lately?! Seems like a real waste of money. I have noticed that quite a few stations have had new tiles almost exactly the same as the old ones, even the same patterns and 'way out' directionals, but not nearly so nice, i.e. no crackle glaze, pasted straight over the top of the old ones. What's the point? why not just clean the old ones? And why do they redesign stations with square corners everywhere and then use rotary cleaners?!

Nice photo - apart from the fact that it's neither wood, nor green!

You're not supposed to without a permit, but wouldn't get arrested, just tutted at by the staff.

The best way is to have a small camera and be fairly discreet, and certainly no flash at platform level.

@Jane - I don't know what their plan is, and rarely use the Piccadilly Line. In fact I don't use any of the tube on a regular basis. Maybe some of the old tiles are considered beyond repair.

@John - thanks ;-)
