No no no... this is RailUK, if you don't threaten to string them up yourself you're basically encouraging them to do it! In fact it's as if you did the sticker yourself if you don't condemn it.

I thought the same.
I see what you both mean. Fair do if it’s staff, I’m not so sure I agree if it’s enthusiasts that have put it there...No no no... this is RailUK, if you don't threaten to string them up yourself you're basically encouraging them to do it!

***BIG EMPHASIS ON THIS WINKY FACE!
I was on it York to Huddersfield liked it a lot suspension did seem to be working quite hard tho. Stuck behind stopper from Leeds so going slow. Loads of staff on board. No wifi.
Based on a situation I dealt with recently involving some creatively placed advertising leaflets on a 185, the law definitely sees this as graffiti and ergo, vandalism.
A 9A shed plate would look better.
That scaffolding on wheels looks a tad close to the edge of the platform! I hope platform 2 isn’t in use today
I completely agree with you! It's a shame that others on here, including staff that I know work for TPE are saying it's not graffiti. Let's do the same to their cars and see how they like it.
I don't think anyone said it wasn't graffiti, just that it didn't look like your typical tag so wasn't necessarily intended to deface the locomotive. The 68s have Caterpillar engines so a subtle cat image is appropriate even if it isn't meant to be there. The white cab surrounds on Finsbury Park Deltics weren't official, but nobody in their right mind would call them graffiti.
Someone did... And they work for TPE
They said they wouldn't call it graffiti... they made no claim as to whether it was in fact graffiti. Other than it being a sticker, when graffiti is generally paint or marker. If my train was cancelled because a sticker was stuck on it, I'd be more angry with the person making the decision to cancel than I would with the person who stuck the sticker on.
Agree with all you’ve put there.
68015 already has the same garbage on the side, this looks like a ‘copycat’ incident
Ha ha ha68015 already has the same garbage on the side, this looks like a ‘copycat’ incident
Putting a sticker on the side of a locomotive (a rubbish commercial sticker at that) is never appropriate, and certainly not ‘cool for cats’...
