TfL propaganda leaflets
 

They've started handing out leaflets at stations starting "We're making some
changes in ticket halls to enhance customer service".

Do they honestly expect daily commuters to believe this horse****? I think
most people would have a lot more respect for them if they manned up and said,
"Look, we've had budget cuts and the ticket offices had to go but we're
doing the best we can. Apologies" instead of this moronic New Labour style spin.

A bit late by now, surely? The last closure in the current programme happens
next week.

This comes with the caveat that I do not live in London and do not
know all the ins and outs.

However, with all the Oyster journeys and ticket machines, would a
staff member in a yellow jacket circulating amongst the passengers not
be more usefult than a staff member behind a screen?

reply to address is (meant to be) valid

That's small change where TfL's propaganda is concerned. Their
flannel about their "road modernisation" schemes is far more
irritating. (Incidentally, when did roads become like hotels and
restaurants, and need to be "welcoming?")

Most offensive to motorists like me is the fraudulent claim, made
several times a day on LBC, that "every journey matters."

TfL are also removing the ability to purchase Network Card discounted
One Day Travelcards at LU stations. It's also removing the facility
to buy those tickets in advance.

Is that allowed under the agreement with the TOCs? I presume the tickets are
still available from TOC stations.

When it became appreciated that folk other than those in smaller metal
boxes using them also mattered.

It's a pretty insipid tagline. Better without I'd think.

That's a fairly neat riposte and entirely valid coming from you.
It's not at all valid coming from TfL whose ambition from day
one has been to make roads unwelcoming to motorists.

One could not make this stuff up!

George Orwell's Big Brother had nothing on TfL. :-)

Well it certainly matters to them - more journeys, more revenue. The
implication that they give a stuff about any passengers particular journey
is obviously marketing BS.
