That’s a nice detail:

> The plaque has been fixed to the wall of the Euston Tunnel just as it passes beneath Kensal Green Cemetery, where Sir Marc Isambard Brunel and his son, Isambard Kingdom Brunel, are buried.

Geez! What a poor choice of a material for the plaque. Are we so thoroughly fucked on our fall of the west phase that we can't even pay for a proper bronze plaque anymore?
