The spokesman said it had stopped in Kent while en route from the test track in Wildenrath, Germany to Merseyside and the graffiti was now"being removed at our Kirkdale depot at a cost of thousands of pounds"."We also want to strongly remind graffiti artists that train depots are 'live sites' and can be extremely hazardous, so please don’t put your lives at risk by trespassing," he added.
