Why? Surely you're just paid to drive trains , not quibble about where
FFS. As long as you're trained on the stock and taxis are provided to/
from home late/early in the day whats the problem?

Is the commute in your proposal part of the working day?

Huh?

A free taxi is one thing, but riding in it in your own time is another.

Well, see in the real world commuting isn't part of the working day.
My working day starts at 9am. That means I have to be at my desk at
9am , not getting out of bed at 9am. The commuting is something I have
to do to get to work. I'm sorry if the poor darlings at LU have an
issue with having to do the same but it seems to me thats a case of
tough ****.

I live in Watford and took a job in Stevenage. A week into the job
they told me to go to the office in Portsmouth. They considerately
provided a car and paid for petrol but after a month they realised it
would be cheaper not to provide the car and that I would use my car
but only get milage up to the equiavalent of getting a hire car.
Now some LU staff are belly aching about relocating to other places
within London for God's sake, whingers.
