I've been travelling quite a bit of the Bakerloo recently and I can't remember one train I've been on when there hasn't been a number of advert boards missing above the windows exposing the grotty backing boards. It makes the whole ambiance of the interior of these trains feel more down at heel than it needs to be.

I would presume there is maybe less demand for advertising on the Bakerloo given it's lower passenger numbers compared to other lines. But surely it wouldn't cost TfL much to print out some "Mind the Gap" style ad boards to slip in to the holders when they aren't it use. Such a small thing but would have a bit impact on the look of these trains.

Wasn't Poems on the Underground partially a means of filling gaps?
