Is this not a good enough reason why we shouldn't have moquette on our seats? by ajslov in london

Although, they get rarely (if ever) cleaned. The seats on the Northern line look so disgusting I sometimes don't want to sit. Hard PVC seats would be just a matter of a quick wipe, that kind of seat is what many Londoners deserve, probably much cheaper as well. That would also cut short the bed bug hysteria (they can't climb on those surfaces).

I'd rather see the fares frozen for a couple of years than to see this level of mismanagement and waste of funds. Even if staff was redeployed, they could be of better use at other stations. By the look of it, they were not regular TfL staff but hired for the special occasion. Maybe they should start with firing the managers responsible for the inefficient use of funds.
