Seems like there’s been a spate of ‘Fake Signs’ doing the round on the tube again, with various people tweeting us links to fake signs that people have been sticking up in carriages on tubes.
The Poke has the best summary webpage that we can find with all the current variants, including the rather excellent ‘snake charmer’ variant.
But what we like best are the ones on the Central Line that go over the line diagram maps replacing either station names, or mixing up the red line in some other awkward fashion (There’s even a Facebook Group specifically for them!).
But then something stirred in our memories and we dug through the extensive Station Master archive of tube photos, and .. yes!
We knew they were there somewhere, and here they are – the first time (we think!) that rogue stickers first appeared on the tube, as these from the Northern Line date back to 2003. The space-invaders one is our favourite.
