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.

I'm not going to defend some of my colleagues who do silly things except
to say that industrial action is called when justice and procedures for
dealing with these cases are not followed, if we behave like arseholes
we should expect to be punished but we should also expect to be treated
fairly and the system followed, sadly some managers and lines forget this.
