Metro Clothes (2007)

I travelled on metro trains between Newcastle and Tynemouth wearing clothes made from exactly the same upholstery material as the metro seats.

Photo of a person waiting to cross the road. She has a shoulder bag made from Metro seat upholstery material. The bottom half of her jacket and the top half of her trousers are made from the same metro upholstery material.
