I bet that decent pay and working hours of staff correlate pretty

Well given the rather generous pay scales at LUL it must be pretty
damn safe, so what are they whinging about?

That includes people who work on oil rigs and deep sea divers?


Robin, perhaps you'd like to enlighten us about the reasons for this
strike, because the safety connection is not at all clear IMHO. In
particular, why does closing a ticket office cause a safety problem? I
thought that staffing of all stations had been guaranteed.


I suspect the people with jobs in the obsolescent ticket offices feel safer
in them than outside dealing directly with the public...
