Network Rail has spent more than £2 million removing graffiti on railways lines across the country. The clean up comes after the rail body's teams identified problem areas across the West of England including Bristol and Keynsham.
Over the past couple of months, Network Rail’s teams across the country have been working to freshen up Britain's railway in the Queen's Platinum Jubilee year with more than £2m of funding being used to target the removal of unsightly graffiti which blights infrastructure.
Across Network Rail’s Western route – which covers the railway and towns and communities between Penzance and London Paddington – a clean-up of 36 hot spots has been completed and Network Rail say they are working with the British Transport Police to stop the problems before they start.
