The refreshed 158 actually came to Cornwall today on the 0635 Bristol TM^‡(resolve)-Penzance and return working the 1140 Penzance-Exmouth, unfortunately some tosser has graffitied one side (as posted somewhere else on the forum), what do these dick heads get out of wrecking things? When prosecuted they should be made to clean up graffiti for the next ten years!!

It's one of the most antisocial crimes that exists, at least the two SCUMBAGS that were caught at Salisbury earlier this year got heavilly fined!

Its when they call it 'art' that annoys me. No its not...its called vandalism.

There is a clear difference between grafitti being art and pure vandalism. For example a great deal of Banksy's work is clearly art. However stupid children spraying their "tag" on a newly refurbished train is completely reproachable and they should face harsh penalties. Let's be thankful that it was on the outside of the train.
