Merseyrail Train At Aughton Park Station, Bound For Liverpool

[ndogg20]

@TheHEADonWHEELS Moved out to Los Angeles. Seems like the graf-arts followed me here.

Every time i see a picture of these trains in the you tube line up, i think its a nostalgic look back at my youth in New York in the 1970s. Its amazing that a one time local thing has gone global like this.To this new international generation of artists,keep defending the faith bros!

Well i went to paris a few years back and i i was pulling up infront of the station the whole train was coverd in graffiti and so were most vans.

Oh so Banksy is up in the Liverpool area now is he?

(or a 15 year old chav)

Actually, I can't remember seeing many 40 year old chavs, because most of them end up FARTING themselves to death in their prison cell.

Chrissakes it looks like something from the New York subway in the 1970s. Figures, it's Liverpool.

[MrCracksnapplepop]

what do you mean 'it's liverpool' ?

[mukatuna]

I go to Liverpool about three times a year, Walton to be exact. And it's the only place I've found where I can always guarantee to see graffiti covered trains like this Merseyrail victim in the video.

In New York it's quite hard to spot graffiti on the subway trains these days. Because the ones which are 'decorated', they're cleaned before the train goes into service.

Even London seems to have less graffitied trains than Liverpool.

[MrCracksnapplepop]

its like this all over the world, u go to any major city in the UK or even anywhere in the world and you will see trains like these. Its not that liverpool trains get 'decorated' alot its just that it seems merseyrail cant be bothered to clean it off

[BritishRailKid507027]

I was qiute suprised to hear it is goths who do the graffitie! It's qiute funny when 508110 the (M) prototype gets it ha ha!

GREAT CATCH THO 5* =)

@BritishRailKid507027 It's not 'goths' it's smackheads. I am a so called 'goth' (emo) and me and my friends wouldn't dream of doing this :/

[BritishRailKid507027]

@adamkeam sorry dude! Smack heads and chavs have nothing better to do!! :(

[adamkeam]

@BritishRailKid507027 Ah :) They are meanies ruining our beautiful trains ♥♥

[monteoner]

@adamkeam you are meanies for calling for the cleaning off of our beautiful graffiti. trains are ugly and boring, graffiti is interesting, colourful and dynamic

[monteoner]

@BritishRailKid507027 yeah whereas train watching is a very productive use of time

Great Video, Does Aughton Park Station have Ticket Barriers? If a train is in that condition it shouldent be running, and the vandales that did it should be stranged!

[trecker59]

Hi Henry There was no barrier on the Ormskirk bound side, I don't know about the Liverpool side but I suspect not. I've e/mailed Merseyrail about the graffiti, they said they cannot get these units over to Birkenhead maintenance yard for cleaning at the moment because of the work on the loop line. they would have to take these trains out of service which would cause cancellations.

[60103Henry]

Thanks for that info!

[benrimmz]

[andywolfie]
