No Trousers Tube Ride: Trouserless travellers take to Tube for event
- Published
Participants were advised to "read a magazine or whatever you would normally do", which meant a commuter catch-up for some
Dozens of people bared their briefs for London's annual No Trousers Tube Ride on Sunday.
Trouserless passengers took to the Tube as part of the annual - a global event that began in New York in 2002.
This year's event was the first since the pandemic began, and was the group's first trip on the Elizabeth line.
Attendees set off in winter warmers before splitting up to strip off in stations across the capital.
Participants paraded across the concourse at Paddington, used ticket machines and escalators at stations without trousers, and rode the Elizabeth line half-suited and booted.

Organisers The Stiff Upper Lip Society said the aim of the event was "to make people laugh" and have "fun".
People were encouraged by the organisers to wear fun underwear, but nothing "that might offend people".
