The Victoria line used to be ultra reliable. Now it's just a shambles. Agreed. This morning about 845, I was on a Central Line train which juddered to a halt approaching Bethnal Green. "Please don't lean on the doors" soon followed from the driver. Just wait until we have fully automatic trains with no drivers at the front. That'll be utter chaos. It might work on the DLR but that never sees the crush loadings you get on the tube. Much as I despise Bob Crowe he's right When did Boltar last do Bank - Canary Wharf at 0830? 2001. Is it as rammed as the tube now? In 1967, when automatic train operation was introduced on the Victoria Line, drivers applied muscle to become the highest paid Underground drivers. Why doesn't that susprise me - get paid more for doing lessÂ. I can see why LU want to get shot of them altogether. The saving in running costs probably justifies a premium. Why? Any savings should go into reduced ticket prices for passengers, not higher wages for the lazy ****s at the front. B2003 |
