The ORR found
weaknesses in their approach to managing the platform / train
interface (PTI) when set against what LU typically does.

Is that not because LU basically leads the world on PTI, so anyone else
would be weaker? According to one report, when the ORR asked what SNCF
was doing in the PTI area, they found it doesn't do anything at all, not
even collecting statistics.

I honestly don't know if LU are a world leader or not. I can't recall
ever seeing or hearing about international practice / comparators.

There was a report out about a year or so ago. IIRC they found LU was
recording exactly which door and exact section of platform people were
falling over, National Rail which platform, and abroad just thought
people shouldn't fall over. One issue was that smaller steps are better
for accessibility, but actually (within certain limits) increase trips
compared to bigger steps. IIRC there were also slightly un-PC findings
about age and footwear.

Yeah, I don't see that ending well. TfL doesn't currently have a stunning
record on the chingford or enfield lines, can't see how its going to do much
better than Southern if it gets handed all those lines with the same sick
prone and indifferent staff.

The ones throwing dubious sickies at the moment are on Southern's longer
distance routes aren't they? Metro services seem - at least the ones I
use regularly - to be just fine, apart from their low frequency.

Just imagine the strikes. The entitled ****s at the front couldn't apparently
cope with an extra 2 carraiges on a train due to ******** "safety" reasons so
trying to get rid of guards will inevitably mean trouble.

There aren't any guards on Southern's Metro routes, which are the ones
TfL is said to be taking over. At least, there aren't any on the trains
I use.
