Since the subject sits across all parts of TFL I'm posting this here:
We know that LO Class 378/1 unit 148 has been given a poppy 'wrap' or sticker at waistrail level supporting this year's Royal British Legion appeal. Other Class 378s on the ELL have been seen with single, larger, poppies next to the side cab door.
They have appeared extensively on 1992 Tube Stock on the Central Line (on M-doors) and there are now reports of them appearing on S Stock unit ends.
In addition two buses have had full side wraps, and I think run on routes 53 and 56.
Can readers report any other LU lines where these are being applied. LU have talked about all trains being so fitted but it'll be interesting to see if 100% coverage is achieved.

I've read every single TfL train will be getting one on the front doors

Me too but I just wonder if it'll be achieved by Nov 11. Completed by the 9th, but each one will be slightly off-centre and twisted. Will not be removed until next October. |

None of the 4 DLR units I saw today had any poppies in evidence.

The C-stock "poppy-wrap" has been done (5721, 5547, 5704) and should be out and about on Circle Line paths from tomorrow.

There are now 3 separate threads on this topic. Considering the number of dead being remembered, that's not too bad really is it? |

Ha ha, true true.
I wonder how many of the C stock units pictured will still exist this time next year?
Glad to see the many veterans being remembered.

It seems the application of the poppies on the DLR has begun as they were applied to the train I got home last night, which included unit 129.

I could publish the "booked" paths the C-stock should be on (as I was tasked to arrange them). However, 2 days in to it running, and due to various service disruptions it has spent little time running on the booked paths. Basically, it should be on a Circle Line path and should run for the majority of the day and end up stabling (preferably) at Hammersmith. This could mean it ends up on a variety of paths. If we have a "quiet" day, you should see it on either 202, 207 or 215. Maybe tomorrow it will stay on one of these  |

About half the DLR trains I saw today had them. I didn't spot a difference between the proportion of old and new stock, but then I wasn't looking for one.
DLR trains seem to be reformed quite often. with the exception of the AoA units, so putting them on the centre cab makes sense. The black AoA train was my first chariot of the day today, and it didn't have poppies. I've not seen the white AoA train for a few days so I don't know whether it has acquired floral adornment yet.
Off-topic for this forum, but one of the all over poppy liveried buses was on the 51 today - I had to give way to it as I came out the station at Woolwich for the final time.

I saw a version of these on the 73ts yesteray, and an S-Stock, where they appear to be applied to the end doors.
Unfortunately, both my housemte and I came to the conclusion that the ones on the end just look like the cab doors have been vandalised, rather than being obvious as a poppy.
While I commend the efforts, I'm not sure the execution has been fully thought through.

While I commend the efforts, I'm not sure the execution has been fully thought through. To me those on the red fronts are 'lost', whereas those on the grey fronts do stand out more effectively. I saw a couple on the Jubilee which had been applied half on the grey and half on the red. Saw a couple of D Stocks today without them (both ends), although I am sure there will be plenty of time to catch up with them. Irrespective, I fully agree in commending the initiative and efforts. |
