I'm slightly disappointed with the explanation given and had hoped that these were actually the ghost markings of our late monarch coming back to tell us to mind the gip.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Transport for London (TfL) is exploring new ways of dealing with "ghost marks" on the walls of Elizabeth line's platforms.

TfL is trying out solutions to the problem, including putting vinyl coverings behind the seats.

The line spans 73 miles from Reading and Heathrow Airport in the west to Abbey Wood and Shenfield in the east.

The issue was raised in a recent written question to Mayor Sadiq Khan by Caroline Pidgeon, a Liberal Democrat on the London Assembly.

She asked how TfL is ensuring the walls are regularly cleaned so that "the stations remain fresh for decades to come".

"TfL is also trialling the installation of vinyl coverings behind the seating area and is in the process of evaluating the results."
