Default Waste of space drivers

Today at Arnos grove - the train had already been delayed due to signal

get on with the job he's paid hansomely for? No, he chatted with his mate
on the platform for over a minute after. What a useless lazy ****. Roll on
driverless trains.

Sounds like the northbound Victoria Line at Seven Sisters. You sit
there for ages whilst the service is being "regulated" (or so we are
told) only to see a driver walking up the platform to take over the
service. Then of course they wait until a northbound train terminates
in the opposite platform and people are running to catch the
Walthamstow train before they shut the doors and move off.

The Victoria line drivers also seem to be experts at doing this with
connections to and from the Piccadilly Line at Finsbury Park.
