Good evening all! At Baker Street yesterday evening at around 6pm. I was horrified to notice an S Stock sitting there and already the paintwork is coming off! The train number (ironic I can't remember the number) was wearing away! These are brand new trains and this is already happening  |

Is the paint coming off, or is it like 92s, where they have had graffiti removed?

I don't think it's poor paintwork, I think it is just were graffiti has been removed. It's unfortunate that now the trains are outstabled more, they receive unwanted attention. |

No its not graffiti. The numbers are rubbing off. The paint around it is fine. The numbers are literally fading  |

21015 maybe kabs. Like 5098 its numbers have come off with graffiti removal I think, if you look below the bodywork on 21015 you can see the remnants of the little t***s artwork on the solebar

The numbers are just "water slide style" transfers and will come off every so often. Are more likely to come off when rubbed or scrubbed for removal of Graf.

Apologies but it might have been graffiti removal all along. Saw another S Stock today and one of the LU roundels on the side of the train looked like those on the 96 stock where graffiti has been removed |
