The north-west of the Bakerloo Line "serves" some of the worst areas
of London for stabbings, shootings and gang/drug-related violence.
Frankly I'm only suprised they don't use 7 members of staff for
detraining duties - one for each car. I like to think that the
situation will improve when LU/LO take over their respective stations
come December 2007 but if the sort of ticket office staffing levels
follow what is being planned for the existing LU suburban system it
doesn't look too hopeful. In future years you'll still get mugged or
murdered it seems, but at least TfL will have a nice CCTV digital
image of the assailant...
