I'm sure it's what you're planning on already, but perhaps best to avoid the Jubilee line just in case things aren't well on the tubes. Not fully step-free at Shadwell ELL, should that be an issue re luggage (though I bet you're travelling light from LCY) - some steps up from the platform to the 'lift hall'. The most seamless route w.r.t. interchanges is the three legged route via Canada Water and Canning Town, rather than the two legged route via Shadwell - though I hardly think it's really a troublesome interchange in the grand scheme of things. (Plus the Jubilee is of course heaving during the peaks.) |

"Paul Scott" gurgled happily, sounding
much like they were saying: Tube Lines have applied to the High Court have ballot declared illegal because... "...the strike ballot was inaccurate as it only employed 30 engineers but the union said 47 staff members had voted" How stupid and arrogant do these people have to be, in order to think they'll get away with this kind of shenanigans? RMT general secretary Bob Crow said the union would fight "the full force of the anti-trade union laws to override a perfectly bona fide ballot". Oh, yes. Of course. _THAT_ stupid and arrogant. |

I see that Bob Crow is now calling for mass strikes in support of public sector workers who will now become unemployed. He didn't give a toss any time in the last three years when it was private sector workers losing their jobs. So that wil be no support from me then. Kevin |

Mr Bob "Working class hero" Crow on 105,000 a year according to Metro today. Still, if the stupid sheep who make up the RMT membership still believe all that class war guff then they're even thicker than I gave them credit for. B2003 |

B2003 That story said more about the Taxpayers' Alliance than about Bob Crow. They would rather pursue their true political interests to attack people who aren't paid through taxes. |

Actually what it says about Bob Crow is that anyone on 105K and still trying to fight some patheric class war is nothing more than a cynical aggitator and a stinking hypocrite. B2003 |

I am not defending large salaries for union leaders. I spent a lot of my union activity opposing them in the past. But for an organisation supposedly campaigning for value for taxpayers to choose to campaign around salaries that don't come out of taxes is even more hypocritical. |
