Default Weekly Tube Strikes Threatened

Thought I would be the first to post this.

My only comment is regarding the statement by Caroline Pidgeon that
""If staff numbers are severely reduced it will become far more
difficult for staff to help disabled and vulnerable customers and
other people who need assistance, including visitors."

Firstly, staff numbers are not being reduced, because LU have already
guaranteed that there will be no compulsory redundancies. Secondly, if
staff are not working in the ticket office, they will be available in
the station to "..help disabled and vulnerable customers,,,,"

Another case of a politician jumping on a bandwagon, which may become
a useful form of transport if the strikes go ahead.
