Every day, millions of commuters use the London underground system to travel around. For many, it's a part of their daily routine, no more inspiring than a walk to the bathroom. The majority of travelers have their faces buried in books and ears shut off from the world with headphones. But surprisingly, as it turns out, you can come across some really inspiring messages while on your way to the tube. Some of them encourage people to speak out on invisible illnesses, some are brilliantly clever puns, while some show the day's temperatures that are "100% accurate, 41% of the time," with Beverly Hills being scorching hot at 90210.

But who's behind these little poems and lovely messages? Turns out, it's a masked duo: two guys that started the All On The Board project back in 2017 while working at North Greenwich station. They are station assistants for the London Underground and were working at North Greenwich. Craig David was performing at The O2 Arena on that evening and the two guys were singing some Craig David songs, came up with a little poem for Craig David fans, and decided to write it on a Service Information Board. It started from there.

Many of their messages and poems have been widely shared on social media by many people—singer Katy Perry included—while All On The Board's Instagram account has almost half a million followers. Scroll down below to find some of people's favorite uplifting messages left on the London Underground and vote for the ones you liked the most!

Thank you! For once, somebody didn't tell me to man up. I can't stand our norms. It just isn't right and I can't stand it. I can't express my true opinions about how how I feel. When I was injured and crying I feel that nobody stopped to help. Why should we toughen up like that?

I’m not a man, but I so feel for you guys. And as a girl, I feel like everybody expects me to be an emotional breakdown, who spends all her time doing makeup and teaming selfies. People have to get stereotypes out of their minds! All it’s doing is hurting us.

Dolly Parton had this illness and had to have a hysterectomy which is sad because on top of everything else she would have made a wonderful mother.

Don't delete yourself, delete the negative people in your life delete negative habits and thoughts. Go where people are that you respect and learn .

It's ok to love ice cream and laugh at funny things. Eat something you like, bless it , enjoy it and DON'T worry about the calories, sugar or anything else for at least one hour.

Sometimes you need a perscription. I did and it changed my life. I was recuperating from two brain annurisms Finally found a doctor who believed I could be helped.

I’m wishing everyone well. Covid-19 and the breakdown of our systems have exasperated mental health conditions. I’m sorry that you’re suffering, that your loved ones are suffering. Please hold on and seek help. Please say something.
