Default Tube Strike?

As a fare paying passenger do you think I give a damn what the drivers
think of me?


In my experience, most LUL staff treat us with a sneering disdain.

A good example is the Northern line northbound via CX drivers at
Kennington who close the doors and pull away immediately a Northern Line
northbound via Bank arrives at the adjacent platform. And don't give me
all that 'sticking to a timetable' ******** - another 30 seconds is not
going to make any difference to their already appalling punctuality
record.

I remembered the guy, I am sure he was a driver, who was caught playing
squash when he was on sick leave. They dared to sack him and a strike
was only averted after the guy resigned. I rest my case.
