I was surprised at how much disruption the Piccadilly Line strike caused. Thursday has been very busy all night everywhere.

FWIW last time the ****s decided it would be a good idea to picket outside
Arnos Grove with theit union banners they got a mouthful from me. And half a
dozen other people. They don't do it anymore. Strange that.

Oh, and my real name is out there for anyone who can be arsed to look hard
enough.

I'm not the one hiding behind foul-mouthed anti-union hate speech.
That'll be you.

Sorry, its too late to add caveats. You said cowards don't post their real
names. Ergo you're a coward.

As for the RMT - they've gone beyond being a union, they're a politically
motivated blackmail group and need to be brought to heal or shut down
altogether.

In what way are the drivers in a vulnerable position? Are they afraid
that angry passengers are going to break into their cab and assault
them?


I wonder if it is actually over plans to introduce the NT4L, thus
negating the need for drivers.

Does a similar plan exist for the Bakerloo?

That is not actually a logical conclusion but hey, ho....

Yes, and the Central and the Drain. The Bakerloo 72TS is even more
knackered than the 73TS.

Yes, I was recently on a 72TS. You could hear the gears whining.

BTW, I noticed on the escalators at Piccadilly Circus that the "Stand on
the Right" and "Hold the Handrail" signs were on electronic displays,
rather than the simple blue signs. Why did they do that and what else
could those electronic signs display?

A follow-on to Holborn for a trial of standing only on escalators in peak
hours?
