The eerie shadows of past commuters have been spotted in a few Elizabeth Line stations. Photos of Tottenham Court Road and Liverpool Street show the walls stained with grey outlines of passengers who had been sitting on the benches. The walls appear to have been stained by coats and heads of the commuters, rather than by spirits.
Transport for London, the operator of the line, assures that they are maintaining a rigorous cleaning program for all stations to keep them safe for commuters. They are exploring ways to clean the walls behind seating to remove any marks and protect the walls from future stains.
The Elizabeth Line, which was named after the late Queen Elizabeth II, opened on May 24, 2022, 13 years after the construction on the line began in 2009. Despite the hefty cost of £18.9 billion, the 41-stop route has become popular with commuters and now hosts 204 million passenger journeys per year.
