How is that any different to what already happens when the last tubes
arrive at suburban stations at around 1am?

And what's the betting that the demands resolve, as they usually do,
into more money?

Or even when main line trains arrive at unmanned stations at any point.

I don't see how station staff can be assaulted at an unmanned station.

station.

I think the safety claim is not the staff, but the passengers...

Why would they be any less safe than on the many night buses that run every
night, mainly without incident?

In any case, surely no-one believes that the unions actually care about
passenger safety? They're after more money for their members, that's all.
And if they do care about anyone's safety, it's their members', not the
customers'.

Or on the DLR.

LU won't understaff the stations because they know damn sure people will
probably just jump over the barriers if they think no one is watching.

And what's the betting that the demands resolve, as they usually do,
into more money?

Guaranteed.

If the station was unstaffed the barriers would be open anyway.

At least the union has stopped telling lies about unstaffed stations.
Progress!
