Art on the Underground, London Underground's

art programme, has beaten 11 other countries

including France, Germany, Portugal and Argentina to an international

award for culture on a public transport system.

"Winning this award proves that contemporary art can really make a

difference to our passengers' experience of the Tube" said Tamsin Dillon, Head of Art on the Underground

Tamsin was presented with The Cultural Actions Award by Alain Flausch, president of the

International Association of Public Transport (UITP) at the 58th UITP

World Congress event in Vienna last week.

Just read the other day that Boris is going to be raising the public transport ticket prices to try work off the deficit. Might also remove some bus services. Great now how do we afford to go to work...

If only we didn't have to spend so much time down there looking at it.

I actually haven't noticed there being any art on the underground. I am too busy fainting.
