So it’s true. Pigeons DO ride the tubes. I witnessed it for myself yesterday afternoon. On an almost-empty Hammersmith & City train waiting to depart at Hammersmith station. Not only did I witness it - and a number of other pigeons doing the same thing - I surreptitiously managed to capture it on cam:

They all got off again at Shepherd’s Bush - lazy sods; it was probably because it had just started to rain.
Re the graphics - so what filter do you use to get those cool horizontal etch lines in your images?
