Graffiti scrawled in the dirt of 222008 today.
It says 'When I grow up I want to be a HST'

I can remember seeing a photo of a 67 caked in dirt from the RHTT season, and someone had wrote "I wish my wife was this dirty" in the grime. And just below someone added "And me!" :lol:

Nice one!

Seen written on the side of a dirty grey class 92 "Also available in red". Sorry no picture, did not have time to rush back to the office to get camera!

On side of White Van:

"Shh... Illegal Immegrants Sleeping" (sic)

This was back when there was a big media outcry about illegals in Glasgow.

I saw a great one this morning at York scrawled into the dirt on the side of 86901 (if you're about there, it's on the platform 3 side of the 86):

"Made from 100% recycled cans"

Made me chuckle. Got a photo of it on the SD card, when I get home tomorrow I'll upload it.

Probably GhostCav! Seem to recall seeing a picture of a 158 a while back that he'd drawn a double arrow on with 'GhostCav Rail' beneath it :lol:

I have a photo (somewhere) of an 87 on the blocks at Piccadilly in 1995. Scrawled in the dirt encrusting the full length of its light grey lower bodyside was "Privatisation - last nail in the Tory coffin"

66585 passed through Bristol Temple Meads yesterday and was a bit dirty on the rear right-hand-side. On the bit where it's supposed to be yellow, someone had written "YELLOW!" in the dirt, as well as the usual "CLEAN ME" near it. Made me smile, next time I see a flithy 150/2 I'm going to leave a message in the dirt myself. The 150/2s are flithy on the outside, high time they cleaned them up, was hard to see much out of the windows!

I finally uploaded my photos from my trip to the North East this morning, so thought I'd pop in with the photo of that writing on 86901 I mentioned:

I was there today, and that 86 is covered in "dust-graffiti".
